[buffalo]

I've known of several who have gotten away with it....never found the body.....anybody that hurts or kills a woman deserves the old lime pits in the Jersey woods or the garbage dumps in NYC

[onlyme]

My youngest daughter and her friend were walking home from school (in Vegas).  They live in an exclusive part of Summerlin area.  I got a call here (in Hawaii) from her mom telling me wha t happened.  Apparently a truck with a kid in one of my daughters classes and his father went up a curb and tried to run over my daughter and her friend.  They had to jump over a fence and some construction guys helped them and drove them the rest of the way home.  W  ell, afte thsi I was pissed and my daughter got on thephne very scared and crying.  So I decided to fly to Vegas and see what is up with this guy and his son.  The other girls dad was all for it.  So we met when I got there and this other guy had a gun.  He showed itto me that it was unloaded but I said we shouldn't bring it.

Well we take off to the house of the truck people.  Well the guy who was with me, his wife callled the police to tell them her husband and me were going over to take care of this guy and his kid.  They called the police after it happened but they didn't do anything.
 
Well we get to the house of this guy and the police were there.  They came over to our car and didn't let us get out of the car.  In short we didn't get to do anything.  But I have no problem doing what I have too,

Here is the info on the Melissa James Fund.  It is amazing how much it will cost to bring her from Las Vegas to Florida, plus funeral expenses, etc.  I have had a number of people ask how they can help. Well, here in the information from the family..

I hear alot of fathers say the things you guys say yet never once have I heard of a father actually killing his daughters killer...

It is probably rare that they get the opportunity.

Furthermore

If Americas police officers share these sentiments I would suggest to you that the crimes may be occurring. But that some police officers as individuals maybe aren't upholding the law in this case (because they don't agree with it) and some may even be actively obstructing it. Evidence can so easily go missing after all.

Several years ago a pedophile/rapist kidnapped a young boy and had him for several weeks.  The authorities found the kid and the sicko in another state. 

They flew the sicko back to the state where he had kidnapped the boy, and as they brought him through the airport through areas where the public were milling about, they led him handcuffed past a row of payphones. 

A man pretending to be on a payphone turned and shot the sicko in the head, killing him.  The shooter was the boy's father.  There was a video of the entire (shooting) incident on a show like "Nightline" or something similar.  Does anyone remember seeing this?

I'm pretty sure the father served NO time, as the jury/judge sympathized greatly w/him.

[midknight]

yes- Most won't have the opportunity. But if you we're face to face?

Given the chance ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE!

Sorry, but I gave my "Melissa James Fund" money to the tsunami victims.

I figure food & medical care for live people whose whole towns were wiped out is more important than a slush fund for the relatives (who are probably not poor by any means) of an American murder victim.

the family should conside a wrongful death complaint after the murder trial

240,

Being the Internet Wizz that you are ....could you kindly repost it for us?  Thanks.

And thanks STella.

No offence but I think its clear why nobody is quite interested yet

We don't know the truth yet, but we do know that it is rumoured she was a junkie involved with a couple of (dodgy) people.

And junkies don't inspire that type of reaction.

Hey, I'm not saying she was and I'm not saying that anybody deserves to die, I'm just saying I think that many of us are pretty ho hum about this because of the way things have been portrayed.

Well, then their chicken s**t.  I can see if they have children left to raise why they would think twice.  But if it was my only child or both......done deal.   You f**k with my blood, something that means the enitre world to me, you have signed your deathwish I don't care what the costs.

But thats just me.

In those cases where a family member has taken the life of a family murderer, what was the verdict when it came to trial by jury?

I would love to sit on that Jury.

It's wrong to take the law into your own hands. The way to fight back is through legal measures. It ultimately shows more strength and character.
As painful as it is, if you act on impulse you will probably end up regretting it and or screwing yourself unnecessarily to some degree.

I really feel that we could all make a more informed judgement about this case if we had some more photographic documentation of the relationship between Melissa and the two accused....Perhaps some pictures of Melissa and Kelly pillow fighting or showering together.  I urge the getbig community to find and post any images like these so that we may have the facts brought to light.
