Thoughts on the JonBenet Ramsey Murder

Patsy Ramsey, mother of murder victim JonBenet Ramsey, died over the weekend of ovarian cancer. She was 49.

After reading about this, I thought again of the murder of six year old JonBenet. Though she was killed ten years ago, no arrests were ever made.

I believe that JonBenet's murder was connected to her participation in child beauty pageants. Patsy Ramsey, a former beauty queen herself, had entered JonBenet into these pageants from a very young age, before she was even old enough to decide for herself whether she wanted to participate in them.

At the time of her murder, photos of JonBenet appeared everywhere in the media, along with videos of her performing during some of these pageants. Every photo of the six year old girl, without exception, showed her fully made up, wearing more makeup than most adult women wear. Her facial expression, no doubt carefully coached, was that of pouty sensuality. Never once was a photo shown of her without makeup, wearing play clothes, or ever looking remotely like the six year old little girl she was.

Watching the video of her performing during a pageant was even worse. She wore a suggestive outfit and her routine was equally suggestive, complete with bump and grind moves.

Seeing the photos and the pageant footage made me realize that the children's pageant industry is nothing more than a source of soft core pedophilia porn. I have no doubt that the audiences of such pageants, in addition to the family and friends of these little girls, also contain not more than a few pedophiles out for a cheap fix.

It's quite possible that JonBenet's killer was one of these pedophiles in the audience.

Thoughts?
