Thanks Dog. I remember that scene too. Damm I'm going to have to watch them over again sometime. I think there is an uncut version. I'm going to look it up later and see if I can order it from somewhere
Hi Frankie,Yes it is true that Damien Echols blew kisses and smirked at the victim's families. Can you imagine how the families would have felt? Personally, I wouldn't have been able to stay in my seat if I were in their position.Technically, it's not proof of his guilt. There are quite a few people that will argue that he had every right to act like that as he was scared/upset/angry, etc, etc, that it was a reaction within reasonable boundaries for an innocent man.Well just between me and you (and the rest of the board, heh) it's was one of the biggest 'what the hell' moments for me. It's not evidence - far from it - but I think it was very telling in terms of how he thought of himself as the "West Memphis boogeyman" (a comment he made which you may have seen in the Paradise Lost movies). Why some parents are now Supporters is complicated (if you read these boards a little you may make up your own mind on it), and at the end of the day their reasons are only known to them. I couldn't speculate on other's motives, not going through the horror that they have of losing a child in such a horrible way.Welcome to the board and if you want to find out more, there are quite extensive posts on various case topics on this board, and others. The case documents are held at [url=http://www.callahan.8k.com]www.callahan.8k.com[/url] . It has a search feature, which is useful.The Exhibit 500 documents, also on that board, are very telling in terms of Damien's mental state. They are at [url]http://callahan.8k.com/wm3/img/exh500.html[/url]It's really sad in parts to find out the trauma of his childhood, but worth reading if you are interested in his mental makeup.Good luck with your research.Kimbo

It was a reaction to being called a "faggot." That's a pretty harsh word.

You have to be serious, Cocky teenager lets see he got kicked out of school for starting fires, threatening teachers and you call that cocky, I say its the making of a serial killer, he just got caught before he killed more kids.
