When a two-year-old child was murdered while home alone with her
new stepfather in a small Oklahoma town, blind rage toward the
child's mother and her entire family spread throughout the state.
The media coverage was intense as stories of a war hero and doting
grandmother made the headlines. Despite multiple gag orders, one
side found a way to blatantly express their opinions and sealed
documents were leaked to the press, while the other side followed
the rules and remained silent. Oklahomans got an earful of the
off-balance story and they were hooked. As time passed without any
public argument against the story that had been created, the
details surrounding the case became contorted, as a seething hate
caused pitchforks to be raised against one person, and then
another, and so on. The witch-hunt claimed multiple victims who sat
defenseless against the growing mob that hid their true agenda and
actions from the general public. As the campaign stage for a
conviction was being played out under Oklahoma media's spotlight,
behind the curtain and in secret shadows the tale of true hate was
acted out. The "Bash Board Bullies" have continually changed form
and venue, but their words and actions on the Internet are driven
by a hate so strong that it's still claiming victims seven years
after the child's death through stalking and threats.
