The West Memphis Three were jailed for a ritual Satanic homicide they didn’t commit. Later after many years they were released, their time wasted. Revisiting the West Memphis Three, one sees that if they were the killers, they would have done a more naïve ritual. They would have had an alter, symbols painted on the murdered boys. The brutal way in which the boys were thrown into the water and killed suggests rather a madman on a rampage than a satanic killing.

In retrospect, I feel this long trial that shadowed over my teenage years deserves revisiting. I myself was accused of the exact same crime until the boy was exposed as a runaway out of state. It in fact corresponds to a need for radicalization of youth in the American South against backward conservatism. As such, I wrote this humorous poem about them:

The Ballad of the West Memphis Three

I dont know anything at all,
I half believed in magic and read a book about Allister Crowley,
But I dont know anything at all.

They put me through a long long trial,
Isolated in Arkansas,
They put me in jail and said I was going to hell,
But I dont know anything at all.

Outside the world turns,
Workers build television parts in sweat shops in Mexico,
Europeans are abroad feeling superior,
But to all of this I am blind,
With clouds in my mind,
And I dont know anything at all.

In Uzbekistan child slaves pick cotton for Europeans,
Paramilitaries are trained at school of americas,
Guatemalan children live in a city dump,
They pick through trash that I cant smell,
For here I sit in jail,
And I dont know anything at all.
 
Don't quit your day job.
 
I too was deceived by the various documentaries and the endorsements of celebrities. But once I started to look at all of the evidence I realized I had been lied to and the case against these kids was fairly strong. All three of them confessed multiple times to various people including: friends, girlfriends, lawyers, police, and cellmates. Read the other side and you just might change your mind.

The Truth About the West Memphis 3
 
But then this guy is a brilliant liar who can sit in an armless chair on tv like this if he played any part in the killings:

Ah yes, the "brilliant liars don't exist" defense.
 
I just frankly dont think they did it. The bloody lunatic that they lost touch with who ran into a fast food restaurant smearing blood on the walls they cleaned up without investigating sort of shows that someone else was near the scene with blood on their hands.

Then my own value-system is developed from when I was younger. I lived in Atlanta and also Saint Simons Island Georgia. Whatever time I spent on this Methodist island caused me to come into contact with certain rich people who were religious nuts. At one point some of them accused me and my friends of killing and eating their son in a Satantic ritual. Later he was found to have run away to charleston south carolina. Nevertheless, a former FBI agent and busybody on this island would barge into my friend's house without a warrant and went along with the rich people.

Even today I consider this: this rich family was no different than a primative african tribal family that believes in witchcraft. You know how they throw their own kids out as witches in some African villages. The mentality was no different. John Wesley BTW was a fornicator. THey threw him out of Savannah for going after someone's daughter. Only on Myopic Saint Simons Island was he welcomes.

So you can see my personal Value System that drives me is that these Christians are backwards.

Sure, there were other suspects. But ultimately, all of the evidence ended up pointing at the WM3 and when combined with their multiple confessions to a variety of people kinda locked them in as the prime suspects.

I understand. That's how I got fooled by the documentaries and celebrities too. No doubt that's also how the celebrities got fooled. The story about them being railroaded by a bunch of backwards religious hillbilly types in a redneck part of Arkansas is very believable and fits in well with my own worldview as it clearly does with yours. That's certainly something that is well within the realm of probability. Throw in the fact that these were awkward goth kids who everyone already thought were weird and believed to be devil worshippers and you're right, this seems like a textbook example of a witch hunt. That's what made the propaganda so believable. I totally agree with you that this is the kind of thing that can and probably has happened throughout ignorant pockets of the US. But, once we look at the actual evidence in this particular case, it's difficult not to realize that the documentaries lied to us, the celebrities were fooled, and these guys were genuinely guilty. Go ahead and spend an hour or two at wm3truth.com and www.westmemphisthreefacts.com see and if you don't start to feel like maybe you were lied to. The evidence against them is actually quite compelling. The fact all three have confessed to multiple people on multiple occasions kind of seals the deal (well, except for Baldwin, he only confessed once, to a cellmate).

The story of being the victims of a witch hunt rings true. It's easy to be fooled by it. I was fooled for years. But ultimately, the fact that it rings true and fits in with everything I believe doesn't mean it is factually correct. In this case, as believable as the witch hunt story is, it's not so believable that it can overcome all of the evidence and all of the confessions given by all three of the suspects.

Look, I want to make a musical out of this whole event and trial, sort of like Cannibal the Musical. I have it all worked out. There will even be ghost corpses the the murdered boys who enter the court.

So to simplify, you think the WMT were framed, so you're babbling incoherently?

More than that, I think it shows how provincial the white Christian family reality is. My view in writing the above was that if your compare the pathetic fears of white Christian America with its weakness and fears of attack from Satanists and all sorts of fantasies about thugs with actual families overseas and things like the Uzbek children being forcibly enslaved to pick cotton, the you see how dissasociated the world of the "Adult" white christian in America is that points its finger randomly at all sorts of fearful enemies even amongst its own ranks.

Cotton Campaign: Stop Forced and Child Labour in Uzbekistan!

The fact is it could be an adult that killed the boys, maybe even someone powerful. THere are often rich powerful people who prey on young children. The Catholic church covers up pedophilia all the time. THere are rich people in Ireland who actually hold pedophile get togethers in rural areas with young children.

It could have been. But, it wasn't. It was Misskelley, Echols, and Baldwin who were convicted and who all confessed their crime to various people on multiple occasions throughout the years.

WTF?! :shock:

Sooooo, I take it that you don't particularly like white people or Christians.
 
Imaginary apocalypse,
7th Day Adventist,
White American christian family,
New Model Army -
You have survivalist gear,
You ask for empathy with a tear.

White Folk Man to the core,
Your wife is a dirty whore,
But seeming so pure to you,
She likes it in the butt, its true.

Thugs and bad guys are after you,
Satanists and cannibals too,
In your little American world of guilt,
A cowardly cult,
You think you're grown up,
But really you're just blown up,
In your mind.

Afraid of being defiled,
White Christian man is a pedophile,
Follows young boys into the woods,
Is if into the church isles,
Kills them both without guile,
White Christian man is a pedophile.
