Explosion at Josh Powell's WA home......

I was one of the people ripping on others for jumping the gun as far as whether or not he was guilty. Eating crow. What a complete coward, taking the easy way out and forcing the children to go with him.

I wonder if he left a note telling us where he left Susan's body?

Probably not. He's always been about himself and giving everyone else (especially his family) the middle finger.

I wonder if his family members will finally come clean and tell us?
 
My hunch is that he took the kids with him for one reason: To stick it to his wife's family.

But I have to ask why he was even being allowed to have his kids for even a moment.
After all the crap he has pulled, his unwillingnees to work with the police, all his stories not adding up, and then his father's crap, and Josh was living with his father.
Those kids should have been protected.

Of course he killed his wife. I have always believed that. All of his behavior pointed to his guilt.
Fine if he wanted to take himself out. He had no reason to live after committing murder. But to take his kids? What a wretch.

I have to wonder at times with stories like Susan Powell and Mark Hacking. Why do cute girls fall for such slimeballs?

We often think someone is a slimeball because they're aggressive and confident (or full of bravado, I don't think women can tell the difference as well as men can) and seem to know what they want. Plus, you don't call a bum a slimeball, you call the guy who got the corner office you don't think he deserves a slimeball. Women don't think with their heads in matters of sex any more than men do, regardless of what they'd like us to belive. They like power and status (read security and comfort) like men like big boobs and long legs.

Sigh, I went through HS being the nice guy. If only I had it to do over again.
 
I would have thought something like this would have pushed his supporters back into the woodwork but it looks like he still has some. I'm guessing when those emails get released he simply blames everyone for what happened (which his like-minded supporters seem to purport) to get some type of revenge.

Girls defintely go for the confident bad boy, jerks. But I am talking about people like Josh Powell and Mark Hacking. They weren't confident jerks. They were just slime. Hacking was a complete fake, and we all see what Josh was.
Sure, some people are good at hiding what they really are, but I have to think there were red flags to be considered.

Slime tends to support slime.

I think in some cases even though the guys don't meet our expectations of being successful or powerful, in the little "mundos" of some of these girls, these men are. Mark, for example, claimed to have been sent home off his mission for medical reasons. Ahhhhh how cute! In reality it was for his porn addiction. He used to tell people how he was a member of the HS football team (which he never was). To a very young HS girl, what could be better than to date a super athlete from your own community? He claimed to be going to medical school. In Lori's mind, her husband was going somewhere!

On top of everything, he had a few problems. He wasn't perfect. He smoked. He drank. For a good girl, that's HOT! He's your project! Your calling in life! How could you abandon him?!

For us, Josh Powell looks like a complete loser. He didn't seem to have much of a career, wasn't good looking, wasn't athletic, wasn't rich, and his dad was a complete pervball. Yet... Maybe he was extremely manipulative? Obviously he was super controlling and told everyone what to do and where to go, just like how he snubbed our media nad gave the police the middle finger. I honestly have never seen anyone in such a bad situation control it so easily/completely as Josh Powell. I think 9 times out of 10, the media would have eaten someone in his position alive. He would have been smeared. Cops? They would have intimidated him into a confession. Josh? Nope. Not him. He made the police here look like idiots and threw the media around like Vlade Divac trying to guard Shaq.

I don't know too much about Susan. I do know/have talked to neighbors/former schoolmates of Lori/Mark. So I'm guessing Susan was in need of serious emotional attention, found it with a strange man, who found ways to control her. Had kids with him. And once she finally couldn't take it anymore, was murdered before she could get out.

It's just sad that people like the Powells have offspring in the first place when so many other couples much healthier emotionally and mentally are unable to. That father Powell, a complete pervball, should have never been around kids. I bet he abused his own. And Josh, probably many times carried on this tradition. Neither of these guys should have ever had the opportunity to have families. These dudes were sick and needed to be locked up and prevented from hurting others in society.
