Ramsey why so important?!?

Question

1 girl died tear tear sad sad but who cares? i mean thousands millions of pepole die everyday and one girl dies and its like an apocolypse?! what do you think

Answer 1

Ding ding ding! Good question. It sickens me the attention given to this case and quite frankly to Natalie Holloway as well. Yes everyone is right, this case struck a nerve because the parents were rich, but also because the whole spectacle was so macabre. Little 6 year old dressed up to look like a hooker, and had been dressed that way since age 3...So all of the people that she should trust the most (her parents etc) were using her for some objectification or to create some ideal that they could never achieve. This poor little girl had no one she could trust because everyone wanted something from her. And Natalie, well it's horrifying that it would happen to a young lady, but it's horrifying that our other kids are being killed in drug wars or in Iraq, how is her death more meaningful then that of a young person almost her same age dying in Iraq? I swear if I ran a TV station for every Jon Benet story I would run 20 jane doe; girls abused, beaten,
used for unimaginable purposes and perhaps maybe try to do some good, instead of taking the one in 5,000 story that's too weird and probably won't happen again...

Answer 2

I agree. I mean, of course it was a tragedy. No little girl, or any decent person for that matter deserves to die in such a manner. But, as you say, sad as it is, she was far from the only child to have met with such horrible circimstances.

I don't know why the other children - most of them I don't think even made the news. At least not nationally. I wonder the same thing about Scott Peterson. A fertaiizer salesman from Modesto, CA? Not a celebrity before be killed his wife, and unfortunately, lots of other whaco men kill their wives and we don't hear about it.

Natalie Holloway is another. Why her? Why did she deserve any more publicity that any of the other thousands of teenage girls that went missing that year.

The whole thing about who gets singled out as "more important" and how and why has always bugged me. No one as far as I'm concerned is more important than another person. But I['m willing to bet that the bottom line in al of these and other high profile cases like them boils down to how much money the family had and who they know/knew.

One more unjust thing in the so called justice-system.

A good question though, and one that should be perhaps looked at more closely in these high-profile cases. There is one reason why perhaps hers was more sensationalized, is the fact that there has always been, AFAIK, some controversy surrounding the whole concept of parents dresssing their young girls up as adults and putting them in pageants. I personally say, live and let live, but thre are always those who want t make a point, and will continue to refer to what happened to Jonbonnet Ramsey, when trying to convince someone how wrong it is to put their child in a pageant?

Answer 3

Nobody wants to see a little girl die, but it has received FAR too much attention. There are many more important stories that barely get mentioned once.

BTW, is it me or is the whole thing with a little girl in competition acting like a big girl just a bit sick? OK, in my opinion it is very sick.

I've had kids brought in for ad shoots by doting, controlling parents just sucking the life and childhood out of their kids. (I always made this type watch from the green room rather than being in the studio shouting instructions.) Must admit that I tended to suspect the parents as well in this case because of that sick competition behavior.

Anyway, you are right...let's forget about it.

Answer 4

It got a lot of attention from the beginning because of the wealth of the parents.

I remember if vividly. They refused from day 1 to be interviewed and the very afternoon after the murder, they scheduled a flight to leave Colorado and to to Georgia. They had the money and power to do that.

That caught the eye of the media and the American ppl. I mean that is the one thing that still sticks in my mind.

If that had been anybody else, their arses would have been hauled downtown and put into lockup. Not even to mention the way that made them look guilty.

Answer 5

Where do you draw an acceptable line...at 50,000, or 10,000? One death might be insignificant to you but it was needless and if people are so callous to write off a child, then let's write off 9-11 as being acceptable, or perhaps the 54,000 men that died in Vietnam and hell let's write off world-war II as an acceptable loss. No death is acceptable to a physician and we battle death daily and lose a bit of ourselves every time we lose the fight. It must certainly be worse for parents. I lost my wife to a terrorist bomb and you can leave no stone unturned to find the guilty and do everything within your power to insure punishment. I do agree that the investigation has befuddled the police and has been botched, and it is unlikely that the guilty party will ever be identified but to simply forget a little girl is beneath humanity to suggest it.

Answer 6

i understand where you are coming from though i dont completely agree. People do die everyday, there deaths never being recognized by anyone but there friends and family, and this has been blown into something bigger than it is. I KNOW it is huge, but i think the reason it is so big is because they never have REALLY figured out who killed her, or what REALLY happened they probably never will but that doesnt mean people should focus on the whole thing all the time. I do understand what ur saying tho. good point.

Answer 7

What relatively disturbs me is how the determine's recognition grew to become into destroyed. What got here approximately to harmless unil shown in charge? i think of human beings have been speedy in charge because of the fact putting a six 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous infant in splendor contests does not look primary and healthful, yet homicide is an entire different can of fish. i think of envy of the wealthy grew to become into element of it to, and maximum of all basically those styles of particularly and charm of staggering pictures of the little female in make up. yet another occasion is the Laci Peterson case. there are in all possibility thousands of comparable cases, all the two tragic, yet she got here approximately to be alluring so it made good reproduction. additionally, once you right here some thing repeatedly lower back, you start to have self assurance this is significant and pay interest.

Answer 8

Nothing important

Answer 9

I asked the same question.

Answer 10

Concur...isn't there anything else the news can cover?
