Paradise Lost WM3
 
I recently saw Paradise Lost 1 and 2, both you can get at Wal Mart. Both are about murders that occurred in the US about the murder of the 3 boys at Robin Hood Hills, and has more evidence againstnthe murder than for the murder. Its essentially anout kids being found guilty for murders for only wearing black and listening to music like Metallica and Megadeth.

Do you want to tell us something with this thread? I mean, I see you wrote something but I fail to see a point that tries to be brought across.

Well, I wrote that while drunk. But I'm curious to see if anyone else had read, watched, or knew anything about it.

If you watch the documentaries, its a really sickening case. The investigations were handled poorly, and it shows in both films. The 3 boys brought in are just 3 guys who had dark hair, wore black clothes, and listened to alternative music...Wow, sounds like a lot of people I know.

Celebrities like Jack Black and Henry Rollins are supporters of the case to get the kids out. One kid is on death row, and has been for like 14 years, the other two have life sentances. One of the guys is even legally mentally handicapped.

They're scapegoats for something that they didnt do. And in the second doc, the father of one of the murdered boys is in it, and he had his teeth removed right after the murder (just as evidence of bitemarks on one of the kid's skin comes up), and his wife was found dead, 3 years after the first PL movie. The records are still found as an "Undetermined" cause of death. And has been for years.

Sorry if it was ever so bothersome to post a thread about an actual interesting case, and set of documentaries.


PS, Pirates of Coney Island is a pretty good effed up comic...dig the sig.

Hahaha, writing drunk... happens to me all the time and I too tend out to leave out what I actually want with it, because I know what I want to do with the post, so isn't it bloody obvious?

Anyways, that case is idiotic. What the hell were they thinking when they made Stephen King novels and heavy metal responsible for "satanist cult murderings". I mean, it's not like I don't believe that they could kill someone or that they aren't satanists, but in that case they should clearly go under "in dubio pro reo", innocent until proven guilty. And Stephen King novels cannot be considered evidence, if you ask me. But if they are, I must be guilty of two crimes, since I own "Carrie" and "Cell". Maybe I even crucified someone. Who knows. And if that was a satanist ritual, it must be a really weird one. Seriously.

What disturbs me most about this thing is that the cops now think "Hey, let's kick back, they've done it." which they quite probably haven't. This however means that the real killer is still somewhere out there and mutilating kids is not something I support. I wonder if the cops still think about it these days, but they're probably convinced that it was the WM3. But then again, if you tell people in the Bible Belt that there's satanists around they're likely to catch on to the Satanist Scare and find the alleged satanists guilty of every crime humanly possible. The media are very irresponsible in that direction, since all that matters is sales and sometimes the truth suffers from that. It's not like they misreport things, it's just that they twist it a little bit so that it sounds more spicy.

And no, your thread wasn't bothersome at all, I just didn't get what it was all about, now that I have some more information on it, I'll have something to be upset about all day long.

The Pirates are really awesome. I can't wait for #4.
