Hi Jane

I have a link to Silverton (very tenuous I must admit), as my daughter lived and worked in Portland for a time (2004 to 2005) and had been to Silverton on many occasions. She found the people in Porland and Silverton and Salem to be very warm, friendly and quite open. She loved her time there and can’t wait to return. I’m heartened, but not surprised, that there are many many people in Silverton supporting Andrew and his family at this time.

Our anger here needs to be directed at the Silverton police, not at each other. Andrew is only quoting the term “mentally incapacitated” from an Oregon statute.

I didn’t call Andrew “mentally incapacitated.”. Those words are from the Oregon Statutes which Gonzalez is charged under.

Andrew was certainly ‘physically helpless” ’specially up against Gonzalez - you only have to look at the pictures of both to see that.

reply to: “it’s interesting to note”
i don’t believe for a second andrew was “mentally incapacitated” as the oregon press has been reporting. i do not know this by personal observation, (i didn’t have the priviledge of knowing andrew,) however… every friend of a.j.’s i’ve talked with has said “sure, he had bouts of paranoia, depression, loved to “tell story” was at times angry, but NEVER had a violent or cruel or out of control bone in his body, so… let’s take a closer look here: this
young irish lad had just lost his job when restaurant went under, he’d lost his apartment when he couldn’t pay rent so was staying with different friends, his visa expired and he was in a foreign country without knowledge of repercussions re: visa expiration, etc. etc.,
he was probably broke… he was 20 years old… and…..occasionally he was said to be paranoid, delusional, angry, depressed…
let’s walk in those shoes before we start calling andrew “mentally incapacitated.” i think he was probably stressed by his life situation at times. then there was this other side of him, said (over and over) to be just full of life, love and wonder~gratefulness and
compassion~ that this side was ALWAYS right there. let’s think about this for a minute here, maybe we can
give a.j. a bit of “mentally deranged” slack????? i think he must have done a very good and decent job with his
sanity, what about it? jstone
