what I think after reading the newest articles

Posted by Acheick on January 15, 2005 at 19:36:25

After reading the newest newspaper articles I started thinking about the whole thing. I didn't know about the video tape and the absolute decision on Ricky's part with his arsenel of guns and pre-meditation. So, I was wondering, why did he do it - besides the obvious he was molested and abused, etc. No, it was more than that. He was frustrated because he could not find justice for all his brothers and sisters who were also abused and his sister whom he obviously cared deeply about. He felt she was stuck in that quagmire and her little child was being used as a chip to keep her in check and firmly entrenched in their clutches (don't I know how that works). I think he also felt responsible being that it was his mother who was in charge of all the abuse, tearing families apart, controlling people, etc. So, he went on his quest and that quest was to find a way to get the media's attention, a way to blow apart the inner circle which had been so cleverly crafted as to be absolutely inpentetrable. Angela was the closest he could get to his mother. (Bravo Peter and Maria, you have wasted at least two lives this week) This was the only way he knew how to do it and it fries me that TFI is blaming MovingOn for his troubles. It's the abuser blaming the victim all over again. Just my thoughts.
