R74, agree with you 100%.
What also gets me is that no one wants to recognize the following: John Ramsey ran that shit show from “Go”, and though he made a major mistake by allowing Patsy to write that utterly ridiculous ransom note, in the end, it was just another bullshit distraction that morons on these threads here on DL, go on and on about, just like others do on other threads like Reddit.
Rule number one when analyzing anything that has to be viewed from the outside looking in: the easiest explanation is almost always the right explanation, and the truth.
I’ve read the shit out of this case. When I was holed up in my bedroom with my bottle of Vodka and pack of American Spirits, reading was all I had going on. And even as drunk as I always became, this shit was beyond obvious.
Burke Ramsey, in my estimation, accidentally and unintentionally killed his little sister. His motives are irrelevant, because in no way do I believe he intended to mortally wound her.
He banged her over the head, or beat her skull into the stairs or a hard surface that had a 90 degree angle, in an attempt to express anger at Jon Benet. The pineapple slices are just as good of a reason as any when ascribing motives to a 9 year old boy, so let’s go with that.
He told his parents. There’s been an accident. John Ramsey takes a look. She’s dead. There’s no going back. Patsy is in hysterics, and he sits her down quietly, and tells her some shit like: We need to save our son. We will lose him too. You must cooperate with me 100% here, or he’s gone.
Burke is always underestimated right here. This is where everyone gets lost, because they think, “No way did Burke have the ability to say nothing”. Umm, yes. He did have the ability to say NOTHING, because his father explained to him quite clearly, that if he fucked this up, he would spend his life in jail. Doesn’t matter if that was going to happen. John explained it as such, and Burke believed it.
John and Patsy bumble around, and John allows Patsy to write the ridiculous ransom note as a way of calming her down, and giving her an assignment, or he directs her to do so, in order to set up the stage. “Missing kid, our little girl, & we know she’s missing because we found a note, Officer”. They stage the rest, including the garrote and paintbrush. They cleaned her up, removed all physical evidence pointing to their son.
John and Patsy call the cops. They do not show up for hours. Only Detective Linda Arnt is there, all by herself for at least an hour and a half, IIRC.
Before Jon Benet’s body is found in the basement, John Ramsey disappears for over an hour. This is the time when John Ramsey is on the phone with his lawyer. John is instructed to not allow Burke to return to the house, and he is instructed to get himself, Burke and Patsy out of Colorado, which he does.
All of the other shit, like having all of these people come over, was designed to diffuse attention away from the only three people who could have killed JB, her family.
How anyone thinks this is anything else, other than the very simple answer of what it actually was, is beyond me.
And in the end, the CUNTS at the Boulder PD are to blame for fucking up a case so royally, that it is now seared in the brains of all who decide to take a look at the evidence, and come up with the same shit anyone else with an IQ over 90 can figure out.
Burke Ramsey killed his little sister. He didn’t mean to do it, and he had no choice but to do everything his parents demanded he do, because he was a child, and he was terrified. I hope he got help. Carrying that shit around cannot be easy. And who knows whether or not any of us here would have reacted any differently than John Ramsey. Parents will do anything to protect their children, ANYTHING.
