But this, this is simple character assassination. These people are maligning an entire family, who have temporarily--maybe for quite a long time--lost a daughter to a horrible crime, and bandying about the must outrageous, scurrilous charges anyone could dream up.
That is why they are focusing so on the Enquirer story. The Enquirer seems even to have put a shill here on FR to drum up interest in the story, a story that has outraged the community in which the Smarts reside. My correspondent, who lives in that section of SLC, tells me that the story is looked upon as libel, and there is a good probability that, when this case is finally resolved to whatever conclusion, the National Enquirer will have yet ANOTHER lawsuit on its hands (the lawsuits roll off them like water off a duck's back; the sick minds such as appear on this thread will always keep them in the black, so sue away, is their philosophy).
Then the Enquirer will go on to exploit yet another human tragedy to the obvious delight of some here on this thread, whose screen names I won't mention.
Bottom line, the malevolent respondents here on this thread are treading upon sacred ground--that of a good family--and that is what has me so incensed. Their daughter is missing, might be dead, and all these clowns can come up with are neon-lit theories of gay escort services, gambling debts and "the evil SLC establishment."
It just turns my gut, and I have to speak out. I'm sick of it.
