A TIME TO KILL JOHN GRISHAM’S BOOKS 22 OCTOBER 2014
Join me on the 22nd October in dumping and
burning John Grisham books in protest over his horrible comments. If you were
as horrified as me that he defended people who create a market for children to
be kidnapped, exploited, abused, raped, tortured and killed for child porn please
get rid of your John Grisham books and never buy another one.
Wednesday the 22nd
of October is the one week anniversary since John Grisham made comments in
defence of perverts who watch child porn. This will be the day that I chose to
dump and burn John Grisham’s books in protest. It is a Time To Kill John Grisham books to
paraphrase one of his most famous novels. It is ironic that one of his most
famous novels is about 2 white men who rape a 10 year old African American
girl. It is even more ironic that John Grisham got inspiration for this novel
based on a harrowing account of a 12 year old rape victim whose testimony he
had heard in court.
Plot of a Time To Kill
In the small town of
Clanton, in Ford County, Mississippi,
a ten-year-old African-American girl named Tonya Hailey is viciously raped and beaten
by two white racists, James Louis "Pete" Willard and Billy Ray Cobb.
Tonya is later found and rushed to a hospital while Pete and Billy Ray are
heard bragging in a roadside bar about their crime. Tonya's distraught and
outraged father, Carl Lee Hailey, consults his friend Jake Brigance, a white
attorney who'd represented his family before, on whether he could get Carl Lee
acquitted if he killed the two men. Jake tells Carl Lee not to do anything
stupid, but admits that if it had been his daughter, he would kill the rapists.
Carl Lee is determined to avenge Tonya and, while Pete and Billy Ray are being
lead into holding from their bond hearing, he kills both men with an M-16.
Inspiration for a Time to Kill
In 1984 at the De Soto
County courthouse in Hernando, Grisham witnessed the harrowing testimony of a
12-year-old rape victim. According to Grisham's official website, Grisham used
his spare time to begin his first novel, which "explored what would have
happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants." He spent three
years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987.
John Grisham’s apology
A Statement from John Grisham:
Anyone who harms a child for profit or pleasure, or who in any way participates in child pornography—online or otherwise—should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
My comments made two days ago during an interview with the British newspaper "The Telegraph" were in no way intended to show sympathy for those convicted of sex crimes, especially the sexual molestation of children. I can think of nothing more despicable.
I regret having made these comments, and apologize to all.

I regret having made these comments, and apologize to all.
As a survivor of multiple
abuse by a pedophile ring and other predators I completely reject your flimsy
apology for the following reasons;
1. You have not specifically
stated that your friend who was jailed for watching child porn is in fact a
pedophile and the rest of the perverts who go online to access are pedophiles.
So I assume you still think they are just perverts who click on a pc?
2. You have not apologised in anyway to show you
specifically apologise to victims of child porn who are abused, raped,
tortured, drugged and possibly killed to make pornographic materials to be
viewed by the people you sympathize with!
3. I don’t believe for one second you are sorry about the
comments you made. I strongly believe you regret the backlash and the fact it
will hurt your book sales and eventually your pocket. I am sure someone in your
PR team wrote this statement for you.
4. If you had only done a written interview you could
have manipulated us but because you made a view, I read your body language. You
came across as a staunch sympathiser of people who view child porn and believe
they cause no harm, and you were smiling, smirking and laughing as you said
these words.
5. I recommend instead of a flimsy apology you donate a
large sum of money to a national child abuse charity.
6. I also recommend you meet with survivors of child
abuse directly related to children used commercially in child porn and ask them
what they think about the thought of perverts watching pornographic materials
with them being abused?
To quote the Grisham's own book A time to kill, which is about 2 white rapist pedophiles who rape an 10 year old girl. I feel it is deeply disturbing that a man that wrote such a provocative novel about justice for a child that was raped would make so light of perverts who watch child porn and create a market for commecialisation of sexual abuse of children!
Please join me in dumping and burning John Grisham books on Wed 22 October.
