It was just a statement added to the discussion that was occuring about PM's.
Congratulations on your worthless addition, Mr. offamy-"I have never sent a PM so I don't care if they are private"-chain.
Why play games?? The rest of us aren't. If we have theories, we put them out there?? We won't laugh....unless they are completely absurd....in that case, then yes, you probably DO need to keep them a secret. Do you really think your secret theories are what is going to break this case wide open?? I doubt it.
Offamychain. I already put my theories out there. ??? Also, it never crossed my mind that anyone would laugh at my theories. If they did, I wouldn't give two craps. And, yes, I do think this this will break the case after 14 years. I have held onto this smoking gun for just thre right moment. You got me....
Here is my entirely fleshed-out reply so you, too, can know my earth-shaking Bojangles theories:
I believe Mr. Bojangles was a homeless man for the reasons I already explained (and for Rudder's reasons, too). I never said I was 100% sure. But I did say 90%. You want 100% proof that the man was homeless... Well, I can't prove it 100%, hence why it is a
theory. Nonetheless, I'd bet TMC's house that Mr. Bojangles was a homeless man and that he is dead by now.
On May 5, 1993, he either got beat up or was hit by a car. Those are two different
theories that both involve a transient, for those who are counting at home. There was a black male hit by a car nearby on that same night, but I doubt this was Mr. Bojangles. (That was the second callahan link I didn't bother to look up.) People bleeding after being hit by a car from a non-hit-and-run generally don't just stumble off towards a chicken restaurant - they get professional medical attention.
So, I think it is very likely he was attacked by someone. (For people like offamychain who need some extra explanation, the examples in my previous post were just that -
examples.)
The attackers might have been the WM3. I kind of doubt this, but it is possible. As shown by the callahan link I already posted, there were reports that Damien and Jason wanted to torture a transient. The Blue Beacon woods was known to be a place where transients went. The propensity for bums in those woods explains all the trash, a bag of clothes, a jacket, etc. that was found there. You also have eyewitness accounts of people going into those woods and seeing transients. The location is a direct cut through between Jason and Damien's trailer parks. They might have known there was a chance they could find a transient there based on past experience. This might be the real reason they came to those woods, if they did it. Jessie said that they met up to "get some boys," but maybe that is because the police were not looking for a bum's assailant (this applies even if they didn't attack Mr. Bojangles). Maybe there is a kernal of truth in Jessie's statement, except they really were meeting up to beat up a bum.
However, it is hard to realistically reconcile how the three children ended up getting killed but Bojangles escaped. Maybe he stumbled into the area after the children were already attacked. Maybe he got injured and took off down the bayou, past the truck stop and eventually all the way to Bojangles. Maybe the WM3 could not run after him because then one or more of the kids might get away. Maybe Jessie left Michael and is the one who attacked the homeless man. Maybe that's when Michael tried to run away. Maybe that's why they tied the kids up. ....this part is pure speculation.
