Hey Dale,

like everybody here i consider them family, may not know you personally, but your family none the less. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask! You and your sweetie take care.

I think now that even more horrible than wot Sue and Dale have been through over this, The comments on this thread are as bad or worse. The very last think that needs to happen is for Dale to commit felonies in the aftermath of this. For him to be killed or jailed over this would be an atrocity. Dale and Sue are a package for life and that needs to be as long as possible.
Those comments on heree urging him to take physical revenge for this are irresponsible and paoorly thought out.
At least where I live if Dale had come across the attack in progress he would have been justified in "taking care of business"
He did not and did not even know about it until later. Again where I live for him to seek those folks out on his own would be almost certainly prosecuted by the legal system and put his freedom at risk if convicted.

What the two of them chose to do was a well carried out plan of putting this in the hands of the law and taking care of Sue in the best manner possible.

Thanks to those of you that shaerd your thoughts that show you care and may indeed give at least alittle comfort to them at this time.

Rich , thanks , yes i know getting my hands on these " lowlife scum " would most probably end up with me in jail / goal for the rest of my natural life ( because it wouldn't be nice what i did to them )

Have already been warned off by the police

Statements today where a mess .. time lines out by hrs ,, Crime ID's tomorrow & Formal statements again Monday after resercing more leads ( ie : time lines )

Yes i've already dreamed about what i'd do to these " lowlife sum " , told cops today too , was advised " not " to say it in front of them again as i mite get " charged " with threating assult ... ..... ? ...


We drove the route & crime scene today , not something i want to do again ...

Sue's in bed , sleeping i hope .

Dale Russell ( aka ) Mr HATE

Dale; I would only revile the following to you publicly for reasons of my true concern for Sue and your self!
I have had a situation in my lifetime that has had an effect on my life up to this time, and will until I take my last breath.

I will not not go into detail, but I want to go strait to the point I want to make.
At one time in my life I was put into a situation of having a good reason that I would arguably say that "I felt justified to
kill an offender".

The pain of the offence committed was driving me to think of all kinds of negative thoughts of how to avenge the wrong
committed.

Then after the emotion died down to some degree and reason started to come back to my thinking process, I realized
that it would do nothing but COMPOUND the PROBLEM ten fold if I assaulted the perpetrator.

Because then the ones that depended, needed, and loved me would be without me. And that would be the same as
the perpetrator striking and winning twice.

I believe that your time, understanding, devotion, and patients with Sue will serve you better in the long run than a "QUICK
RIGHTFUL REVENGE" of some type, that would only bring you a short victory as opposed to a long term positive outcome that is now
needed by Sue and yourself.

I know that it is extremely hard to resist taking a personal action against the people who have attempted to rob your wife
and your self of your dignity,
But the operative words here is "ATTEMPTED" & "ROBBED". Neither Sue or yourself had any choice in the outcome of that dreadful night.
Hind sight is of the past. Forsight says; Please don't let them assault you again by you getting revenge on them, and then
Sue loosing you also.

Please do not do anything that would hinder you from performing your responsibilities and care for Sue!

Your Friend; Ted Throckmorton

Apologies, I may have set a tone in my response, of course when hearing of something like this, the first thought is reactionary, enraged and clouded. In our societies we have police and the legal system to administer punishment and justice and these systems need to be relied upon, for all of the reasons stated.

Colleen, No worries - You didn't set anyone off in regards to this. Most of what is going on is some blunt force commiseration - We're all impotent in any chance to "make it right" for Dale and Sue and given how heinous the offense was, swinging at empty air is a pretty natural reaction. While I don't doubt that all things being equal, Dale wouldn't hesitate to exact justice, it sounds like he's got his head screwed on pretty straight and knows where his first duty lies. He's on the right track in his dealings with the authorities and lets all hope and pray they will take these two mistakes of humanity off the streets soon.

Dale, stay strong and please let Sue know that we're all holding her close in our hearts right now!

well said

When my daughter was younger she was "hurt" (after my divorce from her mother). When I found one of the responsible, I quickly had him on the business end of my gun and was ready to pull the trigger, but realized that if I do, then she would lose me, after I lowered the weapon a few police officers walked up and cuffed him, I didnt see them across the street in my blind rage. They told me they were not gonna interfere but would rather prosecute him them me for revenge. I am glad I made the correct choice.

I do not know what you and Sue are going through, I doubt that any one else really can know for sure, but I have a good idea of the pain and disgust you feel, and I am here for you Dale.

Could of sworn I read in some "BOOK" "an eye for an eye".. Oh but wait, we live in a society of laws..lol..silly me.. Best of luck to you and your family! I hope they catch them "2" and may God have "NO" mercy on them!

i think the chinese say "the best revenge is to live well".but thats the hard part take care mat h,

i agree with that mat - those that can throw off the hate and anger are the ones best able to heal from this kind of thing - a long and difficult process tho, and against all initial instinct...

I really have no idea what to say except that I am sincerely sorry for what you and your wife are going through. I can't even imagine what I would do in your place.

I still believe that there are more good people than bad out there, but the laws do need to be changed for those bad ones.

Wishing you somehow find peace of mind through all of this.

'Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.'Deuteronomy 32:35 God is going to get them. the creeps that did this act are going to get what they deserve, I am going to pray for that to happen, I can do no more or less than that. They are corrupt men and deserve to be punished but not by you Dale, you need to help your wife heal and yourself and I will pray for that also. God blessings and peace fall upon you. Jerry

i sincerely hope the police catch these men before you do, i would hate to see someone off this site, which seems much like an extended family to me, taken to jail and unable to take care of a loved one, don't forget about this as that would be an insult to her, but don't let blind anger take over and ruin both your's and her's life. use this situation to help others that have been given the same kick in the pants by life. i know this advise my sound foolish coming from someone as young as me but i have been matured greatly by things in life that would break most others, so please take this and don't ruin your life but use it the hold firm and take care of your wife.

as i said before....let me clarify what i meant....

there is a reason hephestos chose us to handle the anvil and forge. We have the ability to control those hot and violent temperatures from the pits of Hell, and what is rage but emotional heat and violence....... control your anger and rage just as you would the fires of the forge.

unleash the beast....allow nature take its course, karma will give those two what they deserve.



as for the "draw em out flat" comment...take it at face value....hey we are all allowed our opinion, and mine is kill em both....yet my impulse controls are in effect. please dont act out of anger for those two degenerates, instead act out of compassion and love...for your wife. try get past this act of violence and allow the authorities to handle this situation.

you both have my sympothy

Thank you every 1 for the kind words

Been away from the site a " couple " of days trying to sort " life " out .

Sue was found 250 km's away sitting under a tree ( next to her fathers old farm ) after a suicide attempt yesterday morning ( slipped out of the house while my son & i where asleep ) I've now got her keys / medications . Thankfully she was found before she could take too many pills .

My brains feel like they are leaking out of my ears , police / councliers are doing the best they can althou Sue wants no more to do with either & just wants to get on with life .

I made her promise no more running off ( will be hard with out her car keys ) I realy want to sit down & drown my sorrows , but need ta stay strong now ( that & i don't think theres enough booze in the world to fix what i'm feeling ) .

Once again thank you every one

Dale Russell

Stay strong. My thoughts are with you.
Rob

I have had some experience with this kind of depression. Talk to her but don't focus on the recent unpleasant events. Recall old times, fun times, good memories and let her know that you have hopes for more like them in the future. Lots of talking... I know it might be hard but you must immerse her (AND yourself) in good memories and future plans and hopes. That is the good road past these trying times. This kind of depression is clearly something that can be outlived... but also can be fatal... live fast and far as quickly as you can! Take her antiquing or some other thing that she likes to do.
Move forward NOW. Sorry no drowning your sorrows... you have work to do my friend. Soldier onward! In the midst of chaos and rage show the face of unflappable calm and undying love... WE know that you have it within you. SHE needs to see it, steady, always ready, warm and strong. Make it happen. The iron of your soul is HOT, now is the moment to strike! Forge yourself into the powerful tool needed for the jobs that are at hand! I have great confidence that you will succeed, and she too will summon powers that you have not yet imagined! Be a TEAM! STRIKE and FORGE your future together! God and his universe embrace those who struggle to GROW and RISE! Find your places among them, swiftly now!

Hey Dale

Just wanted to let you know all of us in Newc are feeling your's and Sues pain. Don't know what to say really. Just that we are all thinking of you.
Chin up mate, she needs you now more than ever.

Phil

Cannot believe what I've just read here yet I hear about it all the time, TV, papers etc.
I have no words that can help either of you,so long as you know we all feel for both of you.
Dale, you have to be strong and calm, not angry, and your wife will draw on that strength and day by day it will get better for both of you. As for the rest,what will be, will be.
