Gave it a Shot

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 14:53:54 -0700

Well......I think the fight is officially over. We tried to get people to listen (and many did) but the community as a whole just doesn't care.

Daniel Hawke Fears was declared a danger to himself and others in a recent court hearing...for now. My sister attended the hearing and informed me his lawyer is setting the stage for future hearings and tried extremely hard to get him released. I would say within a year or two, he'll be walking the streets with no criminal record. < ...

Back in Black

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 07:39:45 -0700

Just got in from Charlotte, NC. I was working a coin show in the convention center, very draining and never had a chance to get online for very long.

I usually don't stay in nice hotels, just the standard Hampton or Holiday Inn but this show was at the Hilton and the office booked the room for me. When I got there I unpacked, then looked around the room for the TV, and couldn't find it.....I was getting mad at the thought of packing and moving to another room. Started to ca ...

Party Politics

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:06:52 -0700

I hate party politics!

The rally went well, but we got lampooned by the State Representative! I think he was sent to deliver a message by party officials - and he certainly did. We're not quitting! In fact, his statements will drive me to the "ends of the earth" to make this happen. I will post some photos later and some of the articles from the press. Below is our official statement to the press after the rally:

Got a call from a reporter in Ft. Smith, AR yesterday (it's about 20 miles from where our rally will be held) it's a small MSA of about 500,000 people in the area, so it will get some good publicity. She wanted to know about the rally and all of the details - it went well.

Had a rough day yesterday....got mad over a technical issue with someone at work. I suppose the pressure is building-up as the rally approaches. I need to calm down! Jeezeee

Mr. Weed

Got a call today from a reporter at the Tulsa World in (where else) Tulsa, Oklahoma. He told me of a person who wants to be at the rally. Her name is Amber Jenkins.

Amber's Story (paraphrased)

Her husband was a mail carrier in Tulsa working his route one morning. Along comes this guy (last name) Weed who casually walks-up to him and shoots him dead. They found Mr. Weed setting at a bus stop singing jingle bells.

No trial, everyone including the prosecutor (federal ...

I've strayed a bit from my normal message so it's back to business as usual. It seems that some readers are disturbed by my recent posts (?) Sorry, just trying to take a break from the madness.

The T-shirts arrived yesterday! The artwork is almost done and I'll drop them off at the screen printer.

Also called the newspaper and got a discount on the 1/2 page ad for being a non-profit organization.

The website has been updated.

We've been trying to get some coverage in OKC and it's been minimal at best. Most of the news published about our group shows up in the Tulsa World since it is much closer to Sallisaw, OK. Oklahoma City is a three hour drive.

"My experiences as a psychiatrist tell me that psychiatry should be stripped of its state-given powers for two main reasons. First, psychiatrists do not have the tools that society thinks they have. They have no special way of predict ...

Good news for a change.

Got calls from 3 reporters writing stories, 2 in major metro areas. One of them is speaking to the Governor today for his comment. It's getting there.....

The rally planning is going well, found a guy to screen print the T-shirts on the cheap as his contribution to the effort. Got a very talented artist working on the graphics for the signs and materials.

Looks like things are picking up. Thanks!

I believe these judges should be removed. They are servants of the people, but have their own hidden agenda.

Judges gone Bad

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 12:03:48 -0800

Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeals Judges reversed several life sentences of the killer, Daniel Hawke Fears and ordered him to a mental institution about 10 days ago. They said the jury is basically incompetent and took their verdict away and substituted their own (a violation of their oath of office) It should have gone back for retrial. According to the loose mental laws in Oklahoma, in 30 days he could be free to walk.

Murder by Insanity

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 15:03:19 -0800

I read the "Conservative Culture" blog on Sunday and discovered an article "I'm insane only when I murder people".

It's so true. If a person commits murder and gets caught, what's the only thing to do? Plead insanity! This is exactly what Daniel Hawke Fears did when he went on a shooting rampage. He killed 2 people, shot 8 others and the moment he's arrested he loudly exclaims "The Aliens are controlling my brain!" -- It's a perfect ...

Crime Hurts Everyone

Most of us are insulated from crime. We hear about it on the news, discuss it at lunch, then trust the justice system to take care of it. Before crime became an all too real subject for me and my family, I used to believe in the justice system...not anymore.

Today, he is no longer a criminal and has been transferred to a mental institution where he will most likely be out in a couple of months.

I don't know where to turn. The Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeals is very liberal and decided to disregard the jury verdict and pass thier own judgement. Daniel Hawke Fears is dangerous and must be locked-away forever. Title 43A Section 7-101 ...
