JAMIE DOWLING DECIDES TO PLEAD GUILTY IN CAR ACCIDENT THAT KILLS HER 2 CHILDREN-UPDATED JULY 30, 2013

UPDATED JULY 30, 2013

Jamie  Dowling has decided to plead guilty to 2 counts of careless driving resulting in death. Her sentencing by the Court will be on August 14th, 2013.

Please Keep Jamie Dowling in your thoughts on August 14th.

Posted below is the current statement by Bernadette Bifano the courageous young person who started the petition that gathered over 208,000 signatures as of today in support of dropping the absurd, cruel, and unjust charges brought by the despicable little tyrant, bully D.A., Dan Hotsenpiller.

"I am very saddened to report that Jamie has decided to plead guilty. Sentencing will be August 14. Through this whole battle Jamie has just wanted it to be over so that she may move forward. 

Pleading guilty will make that happen for her. I'm feeling very let down by our Judicial system making someone feel as though they are backed into a corner and shouldn't fight back. Thank you all to the many supporters, I wish I had better news. Please keep Jamie in your thoughts on August 14th".

For myself as a Blogger who advocates on behalf of victims, it is with much regret that I am writing this update today about Jamie. 

While I understand her decision to plead guilty based on the affects of the legal intimidation she has been subjected to, it is once again a travesty placed on a victim by an out of control Prosecutor who has overstepped his powers, corrupting the legal system of there being no justice served on behalf of those who are unable to fight back.  

Thanks to the scare tactics of our court system another injustice has been perpetrated on an innocent victim while real criminals go free or get slapped on the wrist. 

CLICK HERE TO READ MY PREVIOUS BLOG POSTS ABOUT THE JAMIE DOWLING CASE or you can read these same Blog posts below.

As an example, in my previous updated posts below of May 1, 2013 about how the former Montrose County Colorado Prosecutor, D.A. Myrl Serra was convicted of multiple heinous major felonies and got away with no jail time served.  

I wish Jamie Dowling could've fought back, but I know from personal experience how horrible it is to be living this nightmare through the "justice system".  

I hope that Jamie can get through sentencing quickly with hopefully no jail time to be served and that the Court has mercy on her .

I have to find solace in the fact that she knows there are many people thinking of her and backing her still. 

Most disturbing is  that Court records reflect in early June 2013, during one of Jamie's court dates, the court mandated that Jamie not have any contact with Bernadette Bifano, the organizer of the petition. No doubt the bully D.A. feels that he can use his power to get the Court to do whatever he pleases, including depriving American citizens of their right to free speech. 

Also, several unnamed persons familiar with the case indicated that they were aware of intimidating scare tactics that were allegedly inappropriately used by those in the legal system to stop any opposition to the charges against Jamie to be reduced or dropped. I couldn’t get anyone to agree to be quoted and identified as a source on these allegations for their "fear of retaliation". 

I'm telling you this because I want people to have an example, once again as in many of my other blog posts, of just how corrupt our legal system is. 

We are living in a fake democracy, where there are law enforcement and legal prosecutors who despite being sworn to protect our rights of freedom according to the Constitution, have made a mockery of our court system.

These defenders of justice are criminals in their own manipulation of the laws, they wield unfettered, illegal power that violates our rights as Americans, because they know that they can. 

They deliberately intimidate, abuse, and threaten the innocent, often the very vulnerable, the victims that they are supposed to protect, and instead cause them undo suffering, punishment for satisfaction of their one self ego, political, and assorted arrogance of the law can do anything it wants purposes. 

Amazingly, not one time during this case has any Official of the the State of Colorado responded to the petition for Jamie Dowling against injustice signed by over 208,000 people.

It should illicit a response.  There was and still is silence concerning this case of prosecutorial abuse.

I cannot find any mention in the media both in Colorado and elsewhere of anything beyond the original article describing the accident.

Fearless leaders, investigative journalism.  Through this whole thing, nothing, nada, zero from any of them, complete silence.  

This is the kind of a corrupt Country we live in, where innocent victims and those who seek justice, are beaten down continuously, case after case by the government and by those in charge. 

Shame on all of you who have disgraced yourselves. 

You obviously have no human feelings, no conscience. I do not know how you can sleep at night. 

Two different legal systems exist in our Country, one for the politically connected, the rich, Corporate America who literally get away with murder, overt criminal behavior, and fraud. The other system for the rest of us who are left to be preyed upon and destroyed by those in power.

If you so desire, I suggest that you keep fighting for Jamie Dowling by contacting the investigative/other journalists at the largest Newspaper in Colorado, the Denver Post and the local Montrose Daily Press (see below). 

Wake them up! Ask them to investigate her case, have them publicize the actions of the legal system, and tell them to stand up for Americans.

    UPDATED JUNE 7th, 2013            

    REST IN PEACE LANDYN AND RAYLEIGH DOWLING

                                     

     A young mom is being threatened with jail after her two young children died in a car accident in a Colorado snowstorm. Ask the DA to drop charges against Jamie Dowling.


                                     Sign Bernadette's Petition-Click Here


    WATCH VIDEO ABOVE about "Mother Charged in Fatal Colorado Wreck That Killed Her Two Children".



    How can it be that the charges against Jamie Dowling have still not been dropped or reduced to her paying a simple fine?

    It is unbelievable that no-one in the government of the State of Colorado has to this date corrected the abuse of power and grossly cruel over reach of a tyrant little D.A. who should be fired based on his arrogant use of the law which seems like prosecutorial misconduct.

    Over 208,000 people as of today June 10th have signed the petition for the D.A. and/or the Governor of Colorado to drop the unfair, bullying tactics being used to intimidate Jamie Dowling, and allow this young mother to grieve in peace for her 2 young children.

    Yet despite the petition and common sense legal interpretation of the law, not one wisp of a sane response from anyone in charge of the legal system or supposed " leaders" in Colorado. No compassion, no feelings, no sanity, no humanity, no recognition that an accident is not illegal, no understanding of what it means for a parent to lose children, no justice.

    No use of the prosecutorial discretion this same Colorado Government gave to Former Montrose County D.A. Serra was convicted in January, 2012 of a felony extortion count and a misdemeanor count of unlawful sexual contact, along with charges related to bond violations. His sentence was 1 year in prison, which he never served. He was also disbarred as an Attorney and is now registered as a sex offender.

    Serra's victims all testified during the sentencing hearing, calling their former boss a tyrant, dictator, sexual deviant and predator.This was a District Attorney who threatened the jobs of his employees, frequently exposed himself, grabbed them and forced them to provide sexual favors, crossing a line from harassment to assault, during a three year period.

    Yet all he received from the law was a slap on the wrist. You see he was politically connected, one of "them" and Jamie Dowling is one of "us", a regular person who is vulnerable, to be made an example of. 

    Dismiss the absurd charges against Jamie or let her pay a small fine and leave her alone to grieve. 

    Certainly the D.A. has better things to do with his time, his staff and his budget in going after real criminals who are on the loose in that County. 

    If it were his own family or a politically connected, rich person, you know this case would never have been even started. Jamie is a vulnerable "regular" person who can't fight back, so the D.A. bully's her with his power. 

    Such a small tyrant he is, a disgrace to our Country, his State, humanity, and a symbol of how screwed up the U.S. has become when it comes to the dysfunctional legal system that harasses innocent people while letting the evil, guilty ones go relatively unpunished.

    UPDATED MAY 1, 2013-

    "NOW GO FORTH AND DO GOOD" incredibly is the stated motto of the 7th Judicial District in Colorado that this D.A. represents.

    CLICK ON HERE TO SEE THIS FOR YOURSELF SHOWING  YOU THE ABOVE HYPOCRITICAL, LYING MOTTO OF THE little D.A. bullying a grieving mother whose 2 little children have died. This is absolutely horrific that their motto of service to we the people, including Jamie Dowling have become so toxic, and twisted in the hands of a so called "defender of the people". Now Go Forth and Do Good! Truly ugly!

    Despite over 205,000 people as of June 10th having signed the above petition, there has incredibly been NO action to withdraw the heartless criminal charges against Jamie Dowling by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper or the despicable little tyrant D.A., Dan Hotsenpiller.

    Do the people of Colorado actually want pieces of toxic waste like these two politicians to represent them? 

    These 2 politicians don't seem to care, otherwise their behavior would be that of normal human beings in understanding the life sentence of endless emotional pain of this mother, instead of their being bully's who pick on a suffering, innocent mother, and her 2 dead toddlers.  


    It amazes me that the Governor has not yet ordered the little prosecutor to completely drop the charges against Jamie. It appears that no one in the State Govt. of Colorado has a heart or a soul, or compassion to STOP their cruelty towards this poor mother. Let her children Landryn and Rayleigh REST IN PEACE, let this family mourn in peace.


    If this bothers you as it does me, AFTER you sign Bernadette's Petition above, you CAN STILL DO MORE TO STOP this gross miscarriage of the law.

    Please feel free to share my blog post and the link with everyone you can think of as the more people involved in trying to help Jamie, the better chance we have in succeeding.

    Please directly contact the Governor of Colorado by e-mailing him your feelings, calling his office, writing, also contact the Colorado Citizen's Advocate Office, and of course the little tyrant bully D.A. Apparently all asleep at the wheel in these places of so called justice.

    YOU CAN WAKE THEM UP BY FLOODING THEIR OFFICES WITH YOUR PROTESTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS STANDING UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF EACH OTHER.

    MONTROSE COUNTY D.A.Office/ Contact Information

    The main office for the DA is located in Montrose at 1200 North Grand, phone number 970-252-4260.The elected District Attorney for the Seventh Judicial District is Dan Hotsenpiller, who works out of the Montrose Office.

    Not surprisingly, the current Montrose County D.A. Hotsenpiller was NEVER elected by the voters. He was appointed on January 21, 2011 by the current Governor to Replace Former Montrose County D.A. Myrl Serra-CLICK HERE- whose OFFICE was rocked Sept. 30 2010 by HIS arrest (former DA Myrl Serra), who was charged with sex crimes against some of his employees, and charges he intimidated a woman who was a potential witness against him in another case. 

    Former Montrose County D.A. Serra was convicted in January, 2012 of a felony extortion count and a misdemeanor count of unlawful sexual contact, along with charges related to bond violations. His sentence was 1 year in prison. He was also disbarred as an Attorney and is now registered as a sex offender.

    Serra's victims all testified during the sentencing hearing, calling their former boss a tyrant, dictator, sexual deviant and predator.This was a District Attorney who threatened the jobs of his employees, frequently exposed himself, grabbed them and forced them to provide sexual favors, crossing a line from harassment to assault, during a three year period.

    His court file -CLICK HERE-which has grown so thick it can no longer fit through the court clerk's window slot, details a three-year period when Serra turned the area's top law enforcement office into a crime scene. It became a place where, behind locked doors and closed blinds, his victims say he preyed on the vulnerable, exposed himself, bargained for sex and threatened some female employees with losing their jobs, their families and their reputations if they didn't do what he wanted. This from an e-mail to one of his victims: "I am the master. You can't mess with me."

    Naturally Serra got the slap on the wrist reserved for those in the political cesspool of criminal felons.

    Myrl Serra was facing a maximum of up to 15 years in prison, but special prosecutor Robert Shapiro said he doubts Serra will see any prison time as he will get credit for the time already served in the Montrose County Jail.

    Following that, he will be on parole for a year and will begin the four years of probation at the same time.

    Oh yeah- poor Mr. Serra- A pre-sentence report showed Serra has a previously undiagnosed narcissism disorder, and so as part of his probation, he must complete both mental health and sex offender treatment

    What does any of this about former D.A. Serra have to do with current D.A. Hotsenpiller? NOTHING AND EVERYTHING!

    Sooooooooo................ let me try to understand this circus of the absurd legal system . 

    Current D.A. Hotsenpiller came into power by being appointed, not elected, he was given a mandate by the Governor to clean up the Montrose County D. A.'s Office, but he has so much free time on his hands that he is now prosecuting a harmless victim of circumstances, grieving Jamie Dowling, as if she were a criminal, while convicted felons such as his former colleague Serra are given free get out of jail passes.

    Not surprisingly 2 different sets of "justice rendered", one for the regular people like Jamie Dowling, the other for those who are politically connected. This stinking, slimy septic tank of politicians knows no depths of depravity when it comes to deciding who they choose to use the law against, and when to ignore it, based on their "club" of arrogance.

    Shame on them all, a Governor who sits by idly once again while injustice reigns supreme, but in particular shame on the little tyrant Montrose County Colorado D.A. Hotsenpiller, who chooses to abuse a grieving mother, wasting the valuable resources of his Office, while his County is seemingly a toxic wasteland of corruption, "real" child abuse, crimes, predators, unlicensed drivers, drivers who are intoxicated, drivers who are under the influence of drugs, and all of the other serious criminal activities in his jurisdiction, that typically plague today's society in America.

    Hotsenpiller when he was appointed as the acting D.A. stated-CLICK HERE- "He remains a firm believer in a strong judicial system as the foundation for a free and prosperous society. Holding offenders accountable is important to me,  crime, disputes are going to happen, and only when we uphold the law can we be prosperous and free. He views being district attorney as a heck of an opportunity and wants to seize it to make positive change".

    The above are hollow words, sound bites, rhetoric from a D.A. who is just talking the double talk of bullshit. It's all really about him "being a District Attorney as a heck of an opportunity".

    Take down the disingenuous, desecrated motto on the Courts and your website, remove it from your building, your documents, Mr. Hotsenpiller  "NOW GO FORTH AND DO GOOD". Not likely, but we all know it's just a bunch of meaningless words to you and your cronies.

    You have not gone forth and done good in the case of Jamie Dowling. You have soiled once again the reputation of the Montrose County D.A. office by your actions and inaction's. You are a heartless, soulless bureaucrat who dispenses justice based on you own narcissistic, power hungry ego, and a corrupt dysfunctional system of laws that you manipulate to intimidate others for your own professional gain. 

    Shame on you, shame on the media which has basically avoided the Jamie Dowling case, totally missing the real issues of our crooked legal system being played out here, shame on the silent citizens of Montrose County, and Colorado.

    You have all disgraced yourselves and I do not know how you can sleep at night.

     April 13, 2013

    Here we go again. Another arrogant, sick, stupid, mean spirited, power hungry, delusional, pathetic U.S. prosecutor, now it's in the the State of Colorado, using his powers to harass and intimidate a young mother whose 2 children, 5-year-old Landyn Scott and 2-year-old Rayleigh Kay, were killed in a car accident    when her car skidded on an ice patch of highway while she was driving east of Gunnison, Coloroado.

    Jamie has been charged with criminal offenses for this tragic accident of "careless driving causing death and driving without proof of insurance"-Click Here.

    Prosecutors exercise unfettered discretion. This is an example of the abuse of this power .

    Similar to the Aaron Swartz case where over zealous prosecutors literally harassed him to death-Click Here,
    once again we are witnessing the complete insanity of our prostituted, prosecutorial legal system that oversteps it's powers because "they can" and "they are immune" from being held accountable for their abusive  legal actions.

    Today I received the following e-mail:
    Jerry


    On March 9, 2013 young mom Jamie Dowling was driving her two small kids, Landyn and Raylee, on a snowy stretch of Colorado highway. Jamie was driving slowly, and her kids were safely buckled in, but the roads were bad. Jamie hit a patch of ice, her car careened into another lane, and she was hit by oncoming traffic. Jamie was a nurse, and she tried to save her kids' lives, but she couldn't. Landyn and Raylee both died that day.

    Now the local District Attorney is charging Jamie with two counts of "careless driving resulting in death," threatening to send a grieving mom to jail.

    My parents live right near the spot of the crash -- so close that they heard the accident happen. In fact, my stepdad was the first person on the scene, 20 minutes before the ambulance arrived. When he got there, he said Jamie was trying to revive her son, who was already dead. My stepdad had to pry Landyn out of Jamie's arms just to get Jamie out of the car.


    Jamie still struggles everyday to move forward from the death of her children. Landyn was 5, he loved cows and horses. Raylee was just 2, her favorite color was pink, and she thought everything should have sparkles. Jamie had moved her family from Texas to Colorado just a week before the accident, and the whole family was excited for a new start.

    My parents were there for the worst moment of Jamie's life, watching her struggle to save her children even though they were already gone.  
    We don't understand why the DA is insisting on dragging out Jamie's nightmare; it doesn't make any sense to us. But we were there for Jamie that day, and we're going to keep standing with her now.

    I know other petitions on Change.org have prompted District Attorneys to drop unfair charges before -- I hope that if thousands of people sign my petition, DA Hotsenpiller will end his senseless prosecution of Jamie Dowling.


    Thank you,

    Bernadette Bifano
    Leadville, CO

    Hasn't this mother suffered enough, she will be haunted with a life sentence of guilt, the death of her 2 children forever. What is going on in America is one case after another of sick, ego maniac, out of touch, incompetent prosecutors deliberately overstepping their powers to prosecute innocent, or easily intimated people.

    The investigating officer -Click here-stated in his report 'that he did not detect excessive speed, alcohol or drug use as contributing factors to the crash. The snow on the road had been plowed before the crash, but fresh snow was falling at the time of the wreck." Jamie Dowling had a valid drivers license but because she had just moved 2 weeks before from Texas to Colorado, her insurance ID was not in the car.

    Clearly these prosecutors appear to have too much much free time in their jobs.

    Seems strange for them to have all this time to pick on "regular citizens" when they have all this legal power, since our entire Country is falling apart and the legal system is a rotting, corrupt, dysfunctional circus of injustice.

    Here is a novel idea, how about prosecutors using their time more efficiently to enforce the actual critical criminal acts that they are sworn by law to protect the people of the United States, who as taxpayers fund their jobs.

    How about enforcing the laws against real criminals who are preying on us, that are taking place in their legal jurisdictions which involve murders, drugs, robberies, child abuse, burglary, muggings, beatings by an endless litany of felons, who are often ignored,"slapped lightly" on the wrist by plea bargains that give them no prison time, or a couple of months in jail.

    Don't ever forget about all those DUI and DWI drivers, the revolving door of drivers with no licenses who murder, injure other innocent people and are NEVER HELD LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE for their killing, maiming of innocent victims.

    In many states such as California there is almost no legal enforcement of driving without a license, even in cases where the unlicensed driver kills another person with his car.

    Jamie Dowling as indicated, has a valid license, she did NOT kill her children, it was a car accident caused by ice on the road that made her lose control of her car. Why is she being prosecuted, what laws did she truly break, and why is she being treated this way, when criminals are not?

    Official statistics compiled by Don Rosenberg at his online website "Unlicensed To Kill" indicate clearly what many of us already know, that there is a widespread epidemic in our country of murdering, injuring, innocent victims by unlicensed drivers with little enforcement by the Courts once these cases reach our dysfunctional legal system -Click here- 

    Mr. Rosenberg's son Drew, 25 years old, a second year law student was killed by an unlicensed driver, who happened to also be an illegal alien.

    The prosecutor in this case offered a plea bargain to the killer of pleading guilty to driving the wrong way on a one way street and the charges for driving without a license and driving without insurance would be dropped

    Amazingly, the charges against the killer of his son were  eventually reduced by a Judge from a felony to a slap on the wrist of 6 months in jail plus 1 day off the sentence, for every day of "good behavior in jail".

    My son Steven Nathaniel Wolkoff, 30 years old, was also killed by an unlicensed driver who was also DUI, and others whose negligence contributed to their killing him-Click Here. 

    The Justice system did nothing, they "circled their wagons of corruption" and tried to cover up what had happened. We as a family fought hard and did our very best to obtain what little justice we could for his death.

    Prosecutors protect their asses all the time, colluding with the other government agencies to protect each others mistakes, vying for promotions, political office, and selectively choosing when, who, and how justice, if at all, will be served. They disgrace themselves and the victims that they are supposed to protect by pursuing the most vulnerable of us, the dead, the poor, those that don't have the financial resources to legally fight for their rights.

    Let us also not forget the free pass they all have given to Corporate criminals, Banks, and the rich who buy their freedom with money and in return, the justice system circus leaves them alone

    This is what makes the ludicrous charges being brought against Jamie Dowling so compelling.This ARROGANCE OF THE LAW is completely OUT OF CONTROL and has to be stopped NOW!.

    Only through generating bad publicity can we stop this idiot prosecutor in Colorado from further destroying what is left of Jamie Dowling's life.

    YOU CAN make a difference in this absurd case of government injustice where those who are innocent get punished and those who are criminals are let free.

    YOU CAN make a difference by signing this petition because the ONLY thing that stops prosecutorial   abuse such as this is the voice of we the people generating enough bad publicity, so that this scum bag prosecutor will try to protect his job, and his ass by dropping these asinine illegal charges against Jamie Dowling.

    To me this case against Jamie Dowling seems like prosecutorial misconduct-Click here for a Report on Prosecutorial Misconduct in the State of California-but understand that this is happening in every State.   

    The very people who are responsible for ensuring truth and justice, law enforcement officials and prosecutors, lose sight of these obligations and instead focus solely on securing convictions, or worse their own egos make make them play "god".

    It will take you less than a minute to sign the petition, please do it now and don't sit back ignoring what they   are trying to do to this victim, a mother, and a human being who is suffering the ultimate loss, her two precious children.

    UPDATED MAY 14th- REHTAEH PARSONS-17 YEARS OLD-ANOTHER RAPE, BULLYING VICTIM DIES-CANADA'S SHAME-DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!

                             
    REST IN PEACE REHTAEH PARSONS

           
    REHTAEH PARSONS-17 YEARS OLD-BORN DECEMBER 9th, 1995 AND TRAGICALLY DIED ON APRIL 7th, 2013
                                           

     VIDEOS OF REHTAEH PARSONS LIFE

             

    UPDATED MAY 14, 2013

    Rehtaeh's mother Leah, said today on the FB Memorial page-Click Here:

    Today is May 14th, 14yrs ago today we said goodbye to my mother...Today we also held Rehtaeh's burial with a few family members and close friends...The crows that she loved so much were in full attendance as well. We put Jasper's ashes with her just as she would have wanted. I didnt say goodbye because in my heart/soul you will always be...

    The Parson's family-Click Here- released by the family today, April, 17th, 2013, the following message of continued harassment of this grieving family by cruel, deranged people continues:

                                    
    "Really??? They stop at nothing...First the family/friends of the perpetrators make pages about my daughter trying to paint her in the most negative light as possible. Now, they post flyers stapled to our street on poles stating "Speak The Truth". This once again highlights who they are as people. This is our street , we are mourning our daughter, my children live in this neighbourhood. If you wanted to speak the truth...why didnt you speak when Rehtaeh was alive...you push her to suicide then you continue with this bullshit!!! Really???? You have no compassion....but we knew that already"
                                    
    Where are the Police to arrest these cowards who are torturing this family?  It doesn't take a genius to stake out the street with surveillance, and catch those in the act of hurting this family even more than they have already been damaged by the cruelty of others. It's called basic police work, neighborhood watch by the citizens who live near by, where are the decent people in their community of Cole Harbour? 

    Can this community and its legal system not even protect the Parson's family and the memory of Rehtaeh, with the simplest of dignity in the tragedy of their daughter's death, for they are the victims, yet they continue to be disrespected, bullied. 

    How can a community be so silent and allow these criminals to post such hateful, signs on the street of the Parson's family?.

    Where is the shame Canada, Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia  this family needs your support, your protection, and NOT your silence? 

    "Speak the truth", these ignorant signs say. The TRUTH IS that Rehtaeh Parsons IS THE VICTIM, SHE is dead, dead is FOREVER, the criminals are alive, punish them, hold them accountable for what they have done and continue to do.There is NO other truth that matters, no rationalizations, explanations, excuses will suffice.

    People know who these latest criminals posting the signs are, and know the rapists that gang raped this child.  Your silence is deafening. Those who gang raped Rehtaeh, cyber bullied her, and are now bullying this family, need to be arrested and punished. What are you waiting for Canada? Stop them NOW!

    There is a blog that has exposed the details including the names of the rapists and their supporters-Click Here. 

    The Halifax Canada teenager Rehtaeh Parsons 17 years old, was taken off life-support on Sunday, the end of yet another tragic case of cyber bullying.

    Leah Parsons said her daughter hanged herself in the bathroom on Thursday.

    “I didn’t even knock on the door. I just picked it open and could feel the weight of her body on the door. I didn’t think anything. I just opened the door and said ‘Rehtaeh.’ Then I had to cut her down. She was hung. She was hanging.”

    She had hung herself in the bathroom of her home with torturous feelings of no hope left to continue living her enormously painful life.

    Rehtaeh Parsons remains were buried on April 13, 2013.

    About 500 mourners packed into Rehtaeh's funeral at Saint Mark's Anglican Church that began around 11 a.m. local time.
     
    Friends in the teen's community of Cole Harbour, N.S., came out in the snow and sleet around 10 p.m. Friday night for a vigil to honour her.

    Rehtaeh's mother, Leah, "said this was very touching and provided her support and comfort," Angella Parsons told reporters following the service. "We are eternally grateful for the large gathering of friends and strangers that Rae’s story has touched."My family asks for privacy today out of respect for Rehtaeh,” she added.

    Anonymous of Halifax has scheduled a peaceful protest for Sunday April 13 at 2pm in front of the Halifax Regional Police headquarters. -Click here- They stated in a NEW release dated April 13,  that: "Anonymous of Halifax would like to thank the collective at large for working diligently to bring the eyes of the world upon our community. Without your help, there would be no justice for Rehteah Parsons.

    However, we must express our concern at the calls for protest scheduled this Sunday at 2pm in front of the Halifax Regional Police headquarters. This protest has been scheduled without consultation of the local collective, and thus has no organizers.

    We fear that many in the collective at large misunderstand Halifax as another Steubenville. You might not be aware that we have a vibrant activist community here. You might not be aware that we have an active Black Block, and militant anti-capitalist community. Without organization, this protest is merely an invitation for anyone who has beef with the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police to come express their anger violently.

    Anonymous of Halifax has resolved to change this, to ensure the safety of our community and that the good name of Anonymous is protected. We pride ourselves on our positive relationship with the Halifax Regional Police, and unlike other groups we have worked and will continue to work closely with them. The Halifax Regional Police has had our back, protected us from harm, and acted in good faith as brokers of discussion for us in the past. Despite our disappointment with the local RCMP, these facts will never be forgotten.

    To anyone planning to attend this protest: we welcome and encourage your attendance... but sully the name of Anonymous  or Rehteah Parsons through acts of violence at your own risk. 

    Rehtaeh's family has made very clear their desire for any actions to be an expression of love and tolerance, a characteristic of Rehteah's nature. We ask anyone who plans to attend to keep this fact at the front of their mind. Anonymous demands Justice for Ray Parsons, not retribution.

    Knowledge is our weapon. And it just so happens that knowledge is free.We do not forgive.We do not forget.
    Expect us.

    Parsons was the victim of a gang rape in 2011 at the age of 15, and a continuous online bullying campaign, according to a post from her mother, Leah Parsons, on a Facebook Memorial Page-Click Here.


    Her father Glen Canning has also created his own online page -click here, titled "Rehtaeh Parsons was my daughter". He said " My daughter wasn’t just bullied to death, she was disappointed to death. Disappointed in people she thought she could trust, her school, and the police. She was my daughter, but she was your daughter too. For the love of God do something. I feel like I’m dead inside".

    Mr. Canning also stated " There’s a wooden box in my house that holds all the memories I have of my beautiful little girl. The outfit she wore home from the hospital, a hand print in clay, art, school cards and drawings, mementoes of her life. Even a newspaper dated December 9th, 1995, the day she came into this world.I tried to keep it all for her, to have someday when she grew up and had her own family. That day will never come.Yesterday I looked at another wooden box. It will hold her ashes. I hate it."

    Another tragic story of rape, bullying, and suicide of a young person. This time it is Canada's SHAME.  A child with her whole life in front of her, harmless, defenseless,  an innocent human being, destroyed forever dead, rotting in a grave, because of the trauma caused by being raped, and then the constant, endless harassment by those monsters in her community that thought what they did "was fun".

    It wasn't horrific enough that "they" gang raped her, but then took photos of it, distributing them to her class mates and the community because "it would be fun to distribute the photos", said one of the involved "alleged rapists".

    Her mother and family did everything within their power to help this child. The police did nothing as apparently they stated the photos were not sufficient proof, the bullying not reason enough to protect her from these sub human cowards who relentlessly mocked her as if she had done something wrong.

    Once again, the victim gets blamed as somehow bizarrely being the "bad" person and "deserving" of the agony that drove her to kill herself.

    Many will say its somehow her fault that she killed herself, she was depressed, and that it was her weakness that caused the suicide. Bullshit!!!!

    If any "normal" human being gets violated by others through a robbery, burglary, stolen identity, disrespected in some manner, it causes a natural traumatic reaction of anger, depression, anxiety, stress. 

    WTF do you think happens when someone is raped and their body is literally violated. Of course she was depressed and NO it wasn't her fault that she killed herself. SHE WAS THE VICTIM and NOTHING she did was deserving of what was done to her. 

    Everyone, especially a 17 year old has an emotional breaking point, and Rehtaeh was pushed over the edge of hers by beasts who had no consciences, no limits to their cruelty.

    Those who did nothing to support her, you are also cowards, accomplices guilty of killing her. 

    Conspicuously silent are the members of the Cole Harbor High School District community, near Halifax, where Rehtaeh was raped in 2011. 

    Mostly everyone in that community knew and knows the 4 criminals who gang raped her, those those that endlessly bullied this girl. Their children, and most of that adult community have apparently not come forward in the past to defend Rehtaeh from being bullied or demanded now that those who raped her be held responsible for their actions.

    Instead the overwhelming silence of that community in the past, and even today, of her neighbors has spoken a million words of the indifference, guilt, and cowardice in their protecting those who killed this young girl.

    Who are these people? How can they remain quiet in the face of such horror while the killers, rapists, cyber bullies that destroyed Rehtaehs life remain free? 

    Clearly these are not people of conscience and certainly not worthy of the slightest whiff of respect, as they are gutless weak "bystanders" who think it is not their business to get involved. My god, a child is dead and they feel it's not their responsibilty to get justice for the death of a human being.     
     
    On March 3, Rehtaeh posted a photo of herself on Facebook next to a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.,
    “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

    Those who read this story and think that this is so horrible, what if this was your child who killed themselves? 

    What if your children were the bullies, do you not have the responsibility as parents to monitor their behavior?

    Right this moment, in your community, your town, village, Country, there are children being bullied, harassed, on the verge of suicide because they are feeling alone, not supported. What are you doing to stop this epidemic from destroying more children? Do you know what your children are doing and where they are right now?

    Remember she is the VICTIM, she was the one with the courage to try fighting those who mercilessly preyed on her, those that did nothing and ignored what was happening, the justice system that failed her, they are the criminals who murdered her by their actions, inaction's. 

    Rehtaeh was the love of her parents life. Parents such as hers and myself who lost my son Steven Wolkoff at the hands of others who didn't care about killing them, live for our children, and when they are killed it is a life long wound of agonizing pain that we carry forever. 

    The naming of Rehtaeh (Heather spelled backwards) made her unique and she lived her short life as a loving, caring unique human being. We should never bury our children, they are supposed to bury us. 

    It is important that we all take a stand here and SAY NO MORE to abuse, bullying, and killing of our innocent children. 

    To do that the story of Rehtaeh needs to be sent all over the world so that she is remembered and those who killed her  brought to justice.  

    From my own personal experiences with the law throughout my sons case, I have learned never to expect justice from the corrupt, injust dysfunctional justice system. The legal system is busy issuing hollow, meaningless statements now about reviewing Rehtaeh's case, don't believe them. The only thing they care about is protecting their own political asses and the sick system they represent.

    Don't for a second believe that the law enforcement system gives a rats ass about Rehtaeh and her family. 

    The ONLY thing they respond to is publicity, specifically the pressure of bad publicity that exposes those in charge of enforcing the laws as frauds. 

    Please everyone share this blog story with others and spread the word of this horrific tragedy so that the world may notice what has happened, demand justice NOW! 

    There is a short memory span in today's world for tragedies and while the media has publicized this story, it will fade away soon as usually happens to these kinds of horrors. NOW while there is momentum is the time to increase pressure on telling the world what is going on in this case. 

    The trauma of the rape and ongoing bullying caused depression and suicidal thoughts. Parsons tried to hang herself last week, according to the Chronicle Herald.

    The rape allegedly took place when Parsons was just 15 and a student at Cole Harbour District High School, near Halifax.
     
    "One of those boys took a photo of her being raped and decided it would be fun to distribute the photo to everyone in Rehtaeh’s school and community where it quickly went viral," her mother wrote on Facebook. Her mother's post has been shared thousands of times since it first appeared on Monday. Listen to the full interview. 
     
    Comments to the Chronicle Herald's story on Parsons are closed but many on Twitter are reacting to the story. Click here to see more Twitter outrage.


    "They investigated and a year later it pretty much came down to "he said, she said". Not enough evidence. As far as the actual photo was concerned they didn't feel it was a police issue that the photo was taken and distributed even though she was a minor at the time," Leah Parsons told CBC's Maritime Noon. 

    "She was never left alone. She had to leave the community. Her friends turned against her. People harassed her. Boys she didn't know started texting her and Facebooking her asking her to have sex with them. It just never stopped," her mother told CBC.



    RCMP spokesman Cpl. Scott MacRae told the Chronicle Herald and CBC that police conducted an investigation into the alleged sexual assault and, in consultation with the Crown, determined there wasn't enough evidence to lay charges.

    In a related development, the famous vigilant hacker group Anonymous has released the following statement as of April 12 where they have the confession of 1 of the rapists and the names (not release by them yet) of all 4 rapists.  

    "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 12, 2013 - 12PM GMT- Greetings from Anonymous.Please be aware of the following facts:

    1) One of the alleged rapists has made several public statements admitting that he did have sex with Rehtaeh on the night in question. He admits she was inebriated at the time, also that she was throwing up during the act.
     

    2) During his confession, he names three other boys and admits that they too took turns having sex with Rehtaeh that night as well. The names match with those we have confirmed during our investigation.
     

    3) The individual making this confession is the same boy identified in the photograph. He has also admitted to being in the photograph and named the accomplice who took the picture.
     

    4) All information, including screenshots of the confession, have been made available to the police.
     

    5) Two boys have been implicated repeatedly whom we believe are innocent based on numerous testimonies given by individuals with first hand knowledge of the surrounding events.


    6) There are multiple witnesses who were classmates of the alleged rapists that can confirm they were shown the photograph of Rehtaeh by them.
     

    7) At the very least, there was a house with a minimum of half a dozen underage students consuming alcohol and engaging in sexual intercourse. What happened in this house resulting in the spread of child pornography. This much the police will agree to. No charges have been filed in regards to this.
     

    Why is Anonymous involved in this case? We are involved because the facts above clearly illustrate that several crimes have been committed in Nova Scotia. 

    A 17-year-old girl killed herself because the police failed to do their jobs and charge a single person for any of them.
     

    Is it necessary for Anonymous to be involved in this case? Yes. For a moment lets set aside the theatrics, the masks and the labels. We are group of concerned citizens that have recognized an injustice in the system. We have taken it upon ourselves to point out that injustice to the public and we are asking the police to correct their incompetent handling of this case--a young girl has already died from it.

    An image of a 15-year-old girl having sex was viral in Cole Harbour District High School. Neither the school nor the police dispute this. By legal definition that image was child pornography. By some estimates, hundreds of individuals have already seen the photograph, including many adults. The police have seen the photograph. The fact that this evidence was disregarded as inappropriate for any kind of arrest by the police is unconscionable.
     

    What the police are saying to the citizens of Nova Scotia is clear: Having underage students drinking and having sex in your home is not a crime in our community. Photographs of 15-year-old girls having sex is not child pornography, but if it is, the distribution of that child pornography is not a crime. A 15-year-old girl is capable of giving her consent to sex even after she is inebriated to the point that she vomits while hanging out of a window--it is not sexual assault.
     

    We urge the RCMP to act like guardians, set the proper example for the young men of Nova Scotia and send a clear message: This behavior will not be tolerated in our communities. The women and young girls of Nova Scotia should not have to live in fear or be forced to hide evidence of a rape because they will be called whores.
     

    As we have previously warned, the identities of these individuals have already began to circulate online independent of our own actions. We have done our best to keep those names from being released. Two young men are being implicated in a crime we know they did not commit. Is it illegal for us to release their identities and let the world know that they are innocent? What justice will be made available to them once their names are slandered throughout the world and for all time?
     

    It is not for the police to decide the facts presented here do not constitute a crime. That is the responsibility of a jury. A claim of sexual assault has been made. There is photographic evidence of it. There is an admission that child pornography was distributed throughout the community. One of the individuals who should be charged hasn't even disputed these facts. 

    We are asking--no, we are demanding: Let a jury decide. Follow your own procedures and protect the innocent.
     

    We do not seek vigilante justice. If those who we believe are guilty are exonerated in a court of law, Anonymous will disappear from Nova Scotia.
     

    If we decide to release the names a deadline will be declared at least one week in advance.
     

    We are Anonymous. We are legion.The honest support us.The corrupt fear us.The heroic join us. Expect us"

    Photos posted to her Parsons' Twitter account show the young woman partying with friends, marijuana or alcohol often in frame, along with images of her tattoos, cats and dogs.


    Online reaction to Parsons' death has been swift. 

    Over 43,253 messages as of May 14th have flooded the FB memorial page set up by her mother.


    Rehtaeh Parsons' friends and family have also been sharing memories and tributes to her on Facebook.

    Rehtaeh's mother announced on 4/10/13 that "Today I find just a little comfort because I was just informed that Rehtaeh gave life to four people via organ donation and the gift of sight to a 5th person".  

    Her father also commented that "I found out this afternoon my daughter saved the life of a young woman with her heart. How fitting.


    She also gave someone a new liver, a kidney, a new breath, and a new chance to love. She saved the lives of five people with her final gift of life. She was that wonderful.


    Someone out there is going to look at the world with my daughter’s eyes. The most beautiful eyes I have ever seen"

    In the Parsons family's darkest moments they have been generous and thoughtful to think of a way to help others in need by giving the gift of life to 5 complete strangers

    These are the super human acts of decent, kind, caring, compassionate people, unlike the sub human evil animals who harmed their child and still don't have the guts to come forward to be held accountable for torturing Rehtaeh.

    On April 12th it was announced that the investigation of this case has been reopened by the Police-Click Here. It stated that:

    "April 12, 2013, Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM)…..In light of new and credible information that has recently been brought forward to police, HRM Partners in Policing are reopening the investigation involving Rehtaeh Parsons.

    An investigative team from the Criminal Investigation Division, comprised of both RCMP and Halifax Regional Police officers, has been assigned to review this new information as it relates to the totality of this file.


    This information did not come from an on-line source. The person providing the information is willing to verify who they are, the reason they’re providing it and is willing to work with police as part of the investigation.


    We continue to ask people with specific information about this incident to report it to police or Crime Stoppers. 

    Though police reports cannot be accepted through social media, tips can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submitting a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca or texting a tip - Tip 202 + your message to 274637.


    On behalf of the family, we again ask that both the media and public respect their request for privacy at this difficult time. Our thoughts remain with Rehteah’s family and other loved ones".
      
    Parsons' story echoes two other recent high-profile cases. In B.C., the death of bullied high schooler Amanda Todd sparked an online outcry. In that case, bullies also spread explicit photos.


    In the United States, two teens in Steubenville, Ohio were recently found guilty of raping a teen girl who was unconscious at a party and then posting photos and videos online.


    • One woman in four will sexually assaulted during her lifetime.
    • 683,000 adult American women are forcibly raped each year. This equals 56,916 per month; 1,871 per day; 78 per hour; and 1.3 per minute.
    • Only 16% of rapes are ever reported to the police.
    • 61% of rapes occurred before the victims were eighteen years old. 29% occurred when the victims were younger than eleven

    And the world barely notices, "not my child, just another crazy kid killing themself, never would happen in our place" you think, and continue to ignore the ugliness that envelops us more as each day passes. 

    This is what the world has come down to, another human life that has no value to a society that simply shrugs off murder as if it were nothing important.

    Indeed, a waste of another human life, a common daily occurence all over the world, no-one even blinks anymore to these horrors.

    The world is a crazy, twisted, sick place where right is wrong, and wrong is right.

    The stench of this cesspool that is called a "civilized" society is in fact a jungle filled with animals who have no rules, no accountability, and no soul

    REST IN PEACE REHTAEH PARSONS- YOU WERE A HUMAN BEING-YOU LIVED AND YOU SHOULD BE ALIVE TODAY.

    LOVE LOST, SUCH A COST, GIVE ME THINGS THAT DON'T GET LOST.

    There are many different videos of Neil Young singing the song "OLD MAN".  

    The particular video below is my favorite. 

    The Lyrics that I have posted below the  two videos are poignant and chilling in their reality for those like myself who have grown old.

    The song, I think, also says that the way a young person views, or should view life is not so very much different than that of an older person's. Granted an older person would know more of the hardships and the trials and difficulties of life, but this song has a way of saying that things aren't that easy or don't come that easy for younger people too.

    Truly, this is the type of song that can mean whatever you want it to. They don't call people like Neil Young music ARTISTS for no reason. A picture or painting says a thousand words, a song such as this can say millions.

    Many of us remember Neil at 24 and aged right along with him. I always think he is singing this to me.

                          OLD MAN





     
                                            ANOTHER VERSION OF OLD MAN FROM 2006





    At the time, he was 61 years old. That makes him now 68 and makes this song 7 years more poignant.

    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.
    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.

    Old man look at my life,
    Twenty four
    And there's so much more
    Live alone in a paradise
    That makes me think of two.

    Love lost, such a cost,
    Give me things
    That don't get lost.
    Like a coin that won't get tossed
    Rolling home to you.

    Old man take a look at my life
    I'm a lot like you
    I need someone to love me
    The whole day through
    Ah, one look in my eyes
    And you can tell that's true.

    Lullabies, look in your eyes,
    Run around the same old town.
    Doesn't mean that much to me
    To mean that much to you.

    I've been first and last
    Look at how the time goes past.
    But I'm all alone at last.
    Rolling home to you.

    Old man take a look at my life
    I'm a lot like you
    I need someone to love me
    The whole day through
    Ah, one look in my eyes
    And you can tell that's true.

    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.
    Old man look at my life,
    I'm a lot like you were.
