Remember that Idaho rapist? You'd have to have a pretty short term memory to have forgotten. Either that, or you weren't aware of the most current child dissapearance news story because you live in a cave and/or are opposed to being aware of the world around you. Not that one could blame you if so, with the quality of our media. Well, that rapist had a blog, and that blog had a comments system, and that system got flooded by rabid hatemail as soon as enough had been said in the media to identify the blog to any curious enough to search for it. Some choice exerpts:

EDNA IS PROBABLY A LIBERAL AND WILL ALSO PROTECT THE MOLESTER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO PROTECT OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN. SHE NEEDS TO LOOKED INTO
(following a post stating, more or less, to cease the hatemail or be reported)
THE AUTHORITIES RELEASED HIM ON $10,000 BAIL! DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING?

I completely concur with NT, above. The lynch mob mentality is very 19th century. Let us sit our a$$es down and watch the jury decide. We all are subject to this equal treatment under the law, the right to due process. It SEEMS like Shasta was kidnapped (ie: pretty damned likely) and there is also a HIGH LIKELYHOOD that he MAY have reoffended against her sexually. With infinite regret, we don't know of Dylan's whereabouts now. The authorities made that quite clear. There is no judgement to be made there - only work to be done in finding the boy. So, yes, donate to a fund for the girl/children. Volunteer your time. Do what you can to be a daily hero. DO NOT, however, cast the first stone. YOU haven't done anything wrong lately, have you? Or shall we point at and acuse you, beat you, tar and feather you... and then find the truth? I'm not saying the guy DIDN'T commit the crime, folks. Unless we get the invite to the jury pool, though, it's not our responsibility to make the decision legally. I agree with one thing this man inferred in his blogs, and that is that we are all flesh and blood. Whether you pray to G-d, Allah, or a pile of dust bunnies, a jury of your American peers will judge you on the crime of which you are accused. For those crimes of which he has been convicted, and on the matter of evading authorities, he's already looking at time with old friends. Epilogue: "Teach... your children well...." It's not about WHO does it (stranger danger) - it's about WHAT (sex abuse - "good/bad touches" - and abduction danger - "no go"). I say that as an aside because, this fellow aside, Uncle Bob could be the villain... and he's family. Peace....

I agree with ALL CAPS post above. I haven't thrown any stones, but I wish I could throw a few switches on the electric chair!
Do you bleading heart liberal commie pinko fags actually sleep at night? Do you have children???
I can bitch all I want to here or anywhere because I DIDN'T KIDNAP, RAPE, TORTURE, MOLEST, MURDER ANYone!
I bet you'll even post his bail again won't you?!
I'm glad your daughters died. She got what she deserved.Just like Jesus got what he deserved on the cross and those jews in the twin towers.
People are so beautiful. Just love that indomitable human spirit. So what if that Duncan guy raped and murdered countless children? These people won't miss a step. In eh ... fantasizing about beating, raping, and murdering him ....
So why have I brought all of your non-existant attentions to this? Because of the one rational, thinking human being whose thoughts were ever recorded on the internet. I kid you not, the medium's ability to record the opinions of not only jackasses en masse, but of decent people as well, is no longer merely theoretical. Proof you ask?
A Rational Mind
