I think the whole situation is hysterical.
I actually think it's quite sad and pathetic.
Whether you are disgusted that this story recieved more press than the murder of a black child or anyone else does not matter. Whether you are sick of the media coverage does not matter. No matter how you feel about the current fiasco, it doesn't matter.
What everyone seems to lose focus of is that a six year old little girl, who hurt no one and was shown off like a show dog, was brutally assaulted and murdered. The last seconds of her life were horrific and violent. The person who did it is still at large and, most likely, will never be found. That's what matters, and it's a pretty sad thing.

I think you know that I'm not talking about the little girl. I'm talking about the media storm that raged around this guy for almost two weeks, all along people in his family were saying that the guy didn't do it because he was with them at the time. On top of the fact that it took them almost two weeks to get the guy back to Boulder and THEN decided to take a DNA sample and compare the two. But they didn't, they let this story get blown out of proportion when they could have taken a sample of the DNA before they brought him back to America, thus avoiding the charges he was facing in Thailand. On top of that, I've heard the media talk about this murdered childs panties for the last two weeks. And it is unfortunate that the little girl was murdered. The long story short is that there's more important shit going on in this world than a ten year old murder case, that's only getting coverage because it was a little girl. And I think it's hysterical that everyone in this country got whipped up into a frenzy over this nut case, when all you had to do was listen to the facts vs. watching clips of this guy sitting on a plane or clips of the little girl dancing on stage like a trained monkey. People saw this creepy guy with his pants up to his neck and said "He looks creepy, he had to have done it!" Sure, he is creepy, but he's dillusional creepy.
