Tell 'em Witch King sent you

This just gets worse for you doesn't it, Mr. Fallon?

I was sitting down to write a post asking IF Laura Dickinson's room keys were stolen after her rape and murder as the word on the street says they were. My point was going to be to ask if they had indeed changed ALL the locks in Hill Hall to protect OTHER students while EMU President Fallon decided to let Orange Taylor III run around campus as a STILL enrolled student without warning anyone in harm's way.

That question was answered a very few minutes ago and this entire sad story JUST GOT WORSE.

From the Ann Arbor News:

Police reports released this week to The Ann Arbor News under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that EMU officers had contact with Taylor at least twice in less than a year concerning three incidents. The calls included the break-in at King Hall, a damaged table in the Pray-Harrold classroom building and a report of a student selling marijuana in the Eastern Eateries.

Taylor, 20, is jailed without bond awaiting a preliminary hearing on charges in the December death of 22-year-old Laura Dickinson. He is accused of breaking into her room, raping and killing her, then stealing keys and women's underwear.

NICE eh?

So, DID you change all the locks? I have a feeling I KNOW the answer but we'll ask anyway.

And, WHY was the human shitstain known as Orange Taylor III STILL a student at Eastern Michigan University after these run ins with police?

I'll let Karen Simpkins, ACTING Vice President of Student Affairs take that one:

"We're striving for an educational outcome where they learn and are able to better themselves,'' Simpkins said. "If there are redeeming factors, we try to keep them and work with them."

So in essence Laura Dickinson is dead because of "redeeming factors".

Mr. Fallon, we're STILL waiting on you to do what's right and RESIGN effective IMMEDIATELY. It's really your ONLY decent choice.

No, Mr. Fallon, we'll hold your feet to the fire NOW

"I have a lot of faith in this investigation. Then you can hold our feet to the fire"

--EMU President John Fallon on not telling an entire university community they had a KNOWN rapist and murderer running around campus

See, President Fallon, it's like THIS. YOU FAILED. You utterly and completely failed your first big test as university president. Nothing you can say or do can or will change that fact. Your FIRST job as EMU President is the SAFETY of your students and campus community. You however let a known rapist and murderer run around campus, still enrolled and still attending classes while you LIED to students and told them Laura Dickinson died in one of YOUR dorm rooms of natural causes.

You then lie further in defense of your poor decision making in saying the suspect was under full time full on surveillance.

Horseshit. Unless you have an ankle tether or other tracking device ON the suspect, he's most certainly NOT under 100% surveillance. Especially when he's on and around campus.

The last EMU President was an absolute failure as a steward of the University's money and goodwill. Most people in and around Ypsilanti and in the greater EMU community couldn't wait for him to leave. I was one of them. One thing I WILL say for him is that he never ever endangered the lives of thousands of students.

YOU DID. The buck stops with you. YOU ave the responsibility and you chose to be a super secret police lackey. The police weren't in any danger. Your students obviously were.

You now MUST resign.

Laura Dickinson's teammate on the EMU rowing team put it best:

"Laura is an angel and she deserves so much better than what this university is displaying''

Eastern Michigan University President John Fallon, your resignation, please

OK, readers, first a little background on why John Fallon MUST resign (and a mea culpa, I attended said school and am initmately familiar with it).

On December 13, 2006, Janice Dickinson a student at EMU was found dead in her dorm room. She lived in a huge complex of dormitories referred to as the Hill dorms, all ten stories in height. Ms. Dickinson lived in the aptly named Hill Hall. The first reports in an interview in the Ann Arbor News via the Medical Examiner of Washtenaw County SUSPECTED foul play. EMU went batshit and told anybody who would listen it was NOT NOW nor was it ever supected of being a murder. Students recently went on record as saying certain dorm authority figures hinted in fact it was a suicide. Jaclyn Armstrong, an EMU student who also lived in Hill Hall asked President Fallon "Couldn't we have at least been told we were in danger?'' Armstrong recalled being told the death seemed like a suicide. "To be told there was no danger to us - that was a direct lie''. In fact the university ITSELF said this:

The cause of death was undetermined but foul play was not suspected.

Imagine everyone's surprise (and your own if you lived in the dorms at EMU or have a child going there) when EMU announced February 23 that another EMU student had been arrested for Ms. Dickinson's MURDER. That's right, and they knew it all from the beginning.

An EMU student was free to walk around campus among other students under suspicion of being a cold blooded RAPIST and MURDERER. Wow, will they put that in the brochure for prospective students?

We value your safety here but ONLY to a point

Orange Amir Taylor III was a suspect almost IMMEDIATELY as he was seen entering the dorm at about 4am that morning and then he was on camera again leaving the dorm around 6am, the period in which the autopsy said Ms. Dickinson died. They knew it IMMEDIATELY and did NOTHING to warn the general campus population.

According to Eastern Michigan University THIS does not hint at foul play:

When police entered Dickinson's room, they found her lying on a blanket on the floor - naked from the waist down and with a pillow over her face, the transcript said. EMU Lt. Jeff Nesmith noted there was evidence of sexual assault, including the way her body was positioned.

Mr. Fallon, you might be able to understand the incredible indignity SOME in the EMU community might just have. You'll recall that former Theta Chi President John Norman Collins was an EMU student as were some of his victims. The death of Laura McBride remains unsolved to this day.

All that President Fallon can muster is a deflection of ANY KIND of accountability and hoping to pass this all off. Fallon said EMU will conduct on how it handled the release of information in the wake of Dickinson's death.

How the hell do you sleep at night Mr. Fallon? How do you put some thousands of student in HARM'S WAY and then try to whitewash this?

Your RESIGNATION, please. You are clearly unfit and unable to do the job a University President is expected to do.

Dear Zodiac, this is the Witch King speaking....

Dear not Arthur Leigh Allen--

Since we know it's not him, well a good portion of us know it's not him and we're off him and onto, well whadda ya know? NEW evidence.

My my my. For decades you've sat in your home all smug. Preening, smiling at yourself, reveling in your past deeds. Good for you. Just remember, it wasn't because you were say smarter than anybody else, or more clever. No, you're a fairly pedestrian figure. You've been lucky, that I'll give you. Funny thing about luck. It runs out. Ask Dennis Rader. Ask Ted Bundy. Ask John Wayne Gacy. Ask Gary Ridgway.

Something tells me yours just ran out too. Some things cannot stay hidden forever.


Where is the Horse and the Rider?
Where is the Horn that was blowing?
They have passed like Rain on the Mountains,
Like Wind in the Meadows.
The Days have gone down in the West,
Behind the Hills,
Into Shadow.

Going to see Zodiac are ya?

Our good friend Tom Voight who is an EXPERT'S expert on Zodiac has something special for you to view before you go.

A NEW clue perhaps?


Here's a PEEK

OK Google, FUCK YOU

You are no better than Microsoft. Your little behind the scenes charade of MAKING us get a Google account to keep the blog going is abhorrant and you shouldn't expect praise for it. Reminds me of Microsoft MAKING people change to an MSN account thru Hotmail and then claiming to have MILLIONS on the MSN Network like it was some feather in their cap when all it was was arm twisting. Like Google now employs.

There is NO IMPROVEMENT in the blogs or blogging process. You've done NOTHING to improve MY experience and in fact added a couple layers of bullshit to the process.

I was QUITE happy the way it was.
