John Walsh must die....

[Expertise]

I'm sitting here with Americas Most Wanted playing in the back ground and thinking. What i'm thinking? Is it just me or does anyone else want to beat John Walsh to death with one of his own limbs?

The guy is so smarmy! He's 5 foot fuck all and maybe 120lbs soaking wet but he attempts to promote this tough guy image and is REAL brave yapping at criminals once they are shackeled. I would just love it if some cop accidently on purpose let one of them loose just so I could see the little weasel bolt.

That part is noble, but he cheapens it with false bravado and theatrics.

It takes no guts to lip at a restrained prisoner.

I think that John Walsh means well, but he does get carried away. What happened to his son was a terrible thing & I know all too well what it is like. The one thing that has always bothered me & this will make me sound mean, but I seem to remember that the little boy was left alone while the parents were shopping. You should never leave a 6 year old child alone, even for a few minutes, but people do it all the time in the store where I work. I feel terrible for what the Walshes went through, but what were they thinking, leaving that little boy alone? When I worked at Target many years ago, I saw a little girl who was about 4 playing with the purses in my department, no parents in sight. I went over to her & asked where her mom was & what was her mom's name. She told me her mommy was shopping & for her to stay by me & play. I took the child to the customer service desk, paged her mother & when that woman came up, I asked her what was she thinking. She replied that I looked like a good person & she didn't think anything could happen. I about had a stroke. I told her that looks don't mean a thing, if they did, we could lock up all the pedophiles & rapists. I wanted to call the police, but she finally understood why I was so upset when I explained that I had a 4 year old son & I would NEVER leave him alone in a store. This Target was located along I-40 & someone could have grabbed that little girl & vanished.

There's a railway bridge near me...

and I was walking down the other side of it when two giggling little girls (about 6 or 7 years old) ran past me playing chase. There are two roads straight ahead, one after the other, and the girls were running straight for the first one. Without thinking I shouted to them to stop (as you do) and called them back.

I asked them where their parents were and they pointed behind us and sure enough two young mothers were just coming over the brow of the bridge pushing prams and with 2 other kids in tow.

You've probably guessed it. It was me that got blasted by the two women for stopping the two girls and asking them questions. I can understand the mothers' concern over that but to let them run ahead towards two roads is still an irresponsible action.

I'd do the same again (it's automatic anyway isn't it when you see a child in danger?) but I just wish some fucking mothers can see it from other's points of view sometimes and don't think because a stranger has intervened they're being accused of anything.

Sometimes this automatic lapse into self justification really pisses me off. And I don't often get pissed off do I?

Picking on John Walsh is tacky.

WoooooHooo AMW on "skunk 5"

Picking on John Walsh is tacky.

You'll have to excuse me if I could care less what your fogged out grey matter thinks.

Call me tacky, or bite me, your choice.

It may be tacky, but something else that people need to realize is that John Walsh is paid very well for his television show, as well as for speaking engagments. One of the support groups I became a member of after the murder of my son tried to get him to speak at a conference for victims & survivors & the fee he requested was outrageously high. We couldn't afford him. I do some speaking to survivors groups, mental health forums, etc & I do it for free & without a lot of publicity. I am not asking anyone for praise, this is something I have to do & I do it willingl


p p man, I am the same way. When I see parents being so neglectful, I want to tell them what happened to me & try to make them understand how easily a child can be taken away. If it offends anyone, I don't care. If it makes one person be more aware of where their kids are & take some extra precautions, they can cuss me out all they want.

I was a model aircraft contest directer for a number of years.
At controlline contests I always got ulcers keeping spectaters of ALL ages out of the danger areas. NONE of them seemed able to understand that those qute little models were dangerous. I had one father threaten me with arrest when I pulled his three year old from the takeoff path of a modle.
