Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

[shitstorm]

I believe him when he says he's "old school" and would not snitch. I respect that in a weird way. I hate snitches, too. I actually felt sad when I read that stuff. He talked about not having any friends and he talked about his weird sense of honor in his criminal world. I actually kind of liked him. Then, I had to remind myself that he's threatened to kill people and "make them famous".

I tried to gloss over this. I really really did. Shitstorm you shocked me. I understand how you feel about LE but you have to understand there is another side to the coin. Do you realize that this street code of not snitchin holds communities under the control of criminals? How could you say that you hate snitches too when "snitches" OR people who speak out against criminal activity are putting themselves at risk trying to make their communities safer against thugs? AP doesn't have friends because when you're a criminal you can't have friends who you trust well enough to not snitch unless they've participated in the same crime you have. Why feel sorry for AP because he's friendless? This isn't some 3^rd grade fat kid that is friendless & teased! This a grown man who is friendless because he's a criminal & it's safer to be friendless & not get snitched on. I hope you realize that this sense of honor that AP has spoke of entails robbing people at gun point & taking from them what he did not earn. He is a leach & I'm shocked that anyone could feel any kind of sympathy for him much less as you yourself have said Shitstorm, that you liked him are you fucking serious? Well how about this.... have AP & TW come live with you, wherever it is that you call home if you have so much respect for the thug. I'm really dumbfounded.

It was a fleeting and momentary "liking", FB. In comparison to some of the shit Maytee was saying, he sounded sane. There is also the possibility that he is innocent of these murders and he is being accused of something he didn't do. Did THAT ever cross your mind? Does one have to be a defense attorney to look at it from that perspective? He is innocent until proven guilty and he hasn't even been named as a suspect.

"Snitching", as I understand it, is not an innocent person reporting a crime, but some inmate or suspect who provides testimony against another suspect/defendant/inmate in order to get a reduced sentence or not be charged. Do you have ANY idea how many innocent people have been sent to prison because of the testimony of people who will lie to save their own necks? I have a problem with that and it's about credibility. Many cases have been overturned and people released from prison because of prosecutors using pathological liars to get convictions. I want the guilty to be locked up, not just anybody. I don't like the lynch mob mentality.

I don't have a "side" in this drama. It's just another crime concerning people I know very little about. I feel sorry for the family members who lost their loved ones. You seem to have really taken to Maytee, who has fingered this guy as guilty, so maybe you believe that. I have no idea who did it. Maytee may be making false accusations. Every last one of this cast of characters is shady, as far I'm concerned.
