Today John Hawthorne faced the judge for the first time. He will not receive any bond. Watch video on www.orlandosentinel.com of his arraignment. John Hawthorne was mostly silent and didn’t have much to say during his visit with the judge.
http://www.clickorlando.com/video/20147921/index.html use this video as a point of reference to the story below.
It is also said by sources that Cameron Milner ratted his friend out. How ironic? Just when you think you have a friend, you find, most people are not willing to go through the gutter with you. Also, John Hawthorne has now been presented with a public defender. Does this young man have money or not? Where are his parents? Where is his support system? I’ve seen many of his friends of his on my blog and a few other sites leaving their sordid messages, some seem concerned and caring, some seem irrational and supportive of his behavior. Either way, they are there. I have not heard from his parents, or anything of the sort.

John Hawthorne
This is not too abnormal, most of the times parents don’t speak immediately at their childrens issues in the beginning, mainly, they are handling their childs affairs. I hope his parents come out soon. I also hope that they are not ashamed of their son. I’m curious to know whether or not they’ve disowned him, or were fed up with his erratic behavior. Also I wanted to present this… Do you know of his facebook page? I received some emails today in my personal inbox from a source that states that there are hate messages on John Hawthornes facebook page. If you’re familiar with this, shed some light and send the link as well. I was told that these messages are not a hate for the crime committed, but more like hate for the victim.
This is concerning to me. I don’t think that many people will have a problem with John Hawthorne being denied bond. Yet there will be some that think he should roam the streets, even after this crime.
Any questions, any thoughts, please post them here. Any updates and personal information that you want to share about John Hawthorne, Cameron Milner, and especially the victim in this Joel David Bonner, (we’ve had decrepancies about the spelling of his name) I’ve seen it to be Boner as well. Please correct me if possible. thanks

Murrs, see note to Willie…
Willie, I’m gonna be in town soon. Will I meet you?
Hey Carolyn, thanks. I wanted to give it a fresh look and make it a bit more interesting to visit. I love this place and I spend a lot of time here. Carolyn, you’re still in my mind and I want you to know that even though more stories come up, Joel won’t be forgotten.

says it all, doesn’t it?
Hey Murrs, still in your boy’s “court”?
“I’ll wait for you John!”.
“No really”.
“I don’t have any problem with the blood pictures.”
“Cutting (no pun intended) back on meth is a good idea”.
“I’ll be here Johnnie”.

can you read, boy?
for Cameron Milner
777.03 Accessory after the fact
(c) Any person who maintains or assists the principal or an accessory before the fact, or gives the offender any other aid, knowing that the offender had committed a crime and such crime was a capital, life, first degree, or second degree felony, or had been an accessory thereto before the fact, with the intent that the offender avoids or escapes detection, arrest, trial, or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.
b) If the felony offense committed is a life felony or a felony of the first degree, the offense of accessory after the fact is a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Well hello there Willy,
Funny, that is not what the Chief of Police told ME when we spoke.
And from THIS vantage point I would have to say that the VICTIM, Joel Boner was in the wrong place at the wrong time. HE IS DEAD, remember?
I have a very hard time caring what happens to Cameron Milner OR John Hawthorne.
So are you saying YOU WERE there?
Please ask your friend, the sweet, innocent, humanitarian Cameron Milner why he did not call the police with that cell phone he used to take photos of John Hawthorne covered in Joel’s blood, or at least an ambulance. Maybe you should review the police reports with your friend the Chief.
Did Milner think Joel’s body would just rot and blow away and never be found? Perhaps he and Hawthorne had further plans for the body.
Here’s something you and your “ingroup” of homeless and homosexual haters might try to digest:
Collective guilt, like guilt, is the unpleasant emotional reaction that results among a group of individuals when it is perceived that the group illegitimately harmed members of another group. It is often the result of “sharing a social identity with others whose actions represent a threat to the positivity of that identity”. Different intergroup inequalities can result in collective guilt, such as inflicting more extreme forms of harm on an outgroup (including genocide).
Individuals are generally motivated to avoid collective guilt in order to maintain a positive social identity. There are many ways of decreasing collective guilt, such as denying harm or justifying actions; i.e. John Hawthorne’s support group on Facebook.
The facts remain.
John Hawthorne murdered Joel Boner in cold blood and Cameron Milner, is complicit before and after the fact.
By the way, did they have breakfast after they got out of the bloody clothes and cleaned up?
I think you all are ignorant because you all talking about a situation that you could not possibly comprehend unless you were there, and you all definitely need to get off of Cams case because that kid would not hurt a fly. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and i can guarantee by putting my life on the line that hes a nicer person then any of you all were in high school or now are, even though you all are acting like you’re so mature. Im not saying John should get off, but i am saying Cam was not arrested for a reason, and he did not rat John out, John simply admitted to it, and told the truth that Cam had nothing to do with it. Now that is fact coming from the Ocoee Police Chief.
FREE HAWTHORNE !!! i love you. stay strong boy (: you’ll be out soon.
Not only is the evidence mounting, the evidence is more and more horrifying.
John’s thinly veiled lies are being revealed. For us, the family, this story grows sadder and more evil with each revelation. Hawthorne’s cruelty is despicable.
The investigative team continues to work for the prosecution of John Hawthorne and his secret accomplices. They too will be brought to the forefront.
We will pursue every possible route of justice.

As you may know the case continues to grow and the evidence is mounting. If you have kept up with what has transpired you know the questionable judge has been dispensed with and a righteous Judge has replaced him. I am hopeful that young john will be back in jail soon. Then there is the matter of his family life…
Though this began just four weeks ago it seems like forever.
It is important to resolve murders. Murder is a crime against society and the individual. Most individuals in society will not commit murder. For that reason alone murder should be discouraged by proper judgment and punishment. No grandstanding by killers. Set an example in sentencing that will provide a deterrent to the crime.
For Joel, his siblings and parents justice is required to satisfy the natural demand for criminal punishment and closure. Victims families have the right to seek justice
and proper resolve.
john committed a hate crime. john branded Joel as “homeless and gay” and in his mind he killed for these reasons and the pleasure he derived from it. This is where the hate crime stuff comes from. john’s own admission. There is hate crime law supporting gays but not homeless. That Florida is now the #1 homeless torture/murder state in our country is a thing of shame not honor. I believe Florida’s main income producer is tourism not oranges. Perception becomes important. There have been some very high profile murder cases in FL but for the most part the perps were not native but entered the state to commit their crimes. I lived in FL from ‘76 to ‘80 and cannot recall wanton violence of this kind. People were safe to travel and enjoy the scenic beauty FL offers.
“Come Enjoy Florida, It’s Killer!” meant something different in the past.
Lon, God bless you and your family. Love, you make no sense. West Orange really helped you out. Now get back to looking for a job with that 600 SAT 13 ACT. You’ll be able to walk the streets for two more years, till you lose your teeth. Get off the crack. Two dirt balls killed a young man. (period) I hope Nancy Grace gets this story on her show. These two need to meet old sparkie.
too bad we can’s see the photos of the Boner family.
i would like to undrstand all of this better.
Comment by wohsgrad | July 28, 2009 Gotta love a guy one year out of high school who knows everything and the things he does not know he says I cannot know either…so infantile in perception, and oh yes let us rule out the forensic titan who works orange county. Joel is dead.
John was such a great fighter he was never even touched, not a mark on him, by his quarry (stabbed in the back as he walked away). Let the proof be in the pudding. Leave your denials of forensic and other sciences out of it. Forget the science(?)of criminal psycology and deny all you cannot fathom my 19 year old pal…
Those punk kids need to go to jail for life: Hawthorne for stabbing the guy to death fifteen times, and his punk friend for not stopping him and not calling an ambulance. What other crimes have these kids committed? What other stuff will they do if they’re not in jail? LOVE needs to go to jail, too, for being an ignorant bitch.
I’d like to start off by saying, Lon, I’m sorry for your loss.
I recently graduated from West Orange HS in 2008 and I was a real good friend of John through middle school and the beginning of High School but we drifted from there. We still would stop to chat and catch up and I would occasionally run into him at some parties. Yes, I was extremely shocked when I heard about this news, and I never thought John would be capable of doing ANYTHING like this.
But he did, and now a life has been taken.
Regardless of my past friendship with John, I honestly can’t sit here and try and defend him. Neither can ANYONE else regardless of how well you knew him. Simply because YOU WERE NOT THERE!
So “LOVE”
Don’t try and correct others when I’m more than sure you were not at the scene of the crime. So you’ve been hearing the same things as everyone else, what we hear on the news is what we go by. AGAIN YOU WEREN’T THERE so don’t try and act like tough shit and correct others, yes they may be wrong, or they may be right, same with you. AND PLEASE don’t try and say that John didn’t party, bullshit. And unless you were with John 24/7 which im sure you were not, what do you know about John doing drugs. You’re talking crap about the girl who was on the news & others when really YOU’RE the one who looks & sounds dumb. You’re trying to stick up for a murderer, no matter how close you are or were to him, face it “love”, HE KILLED SOMEONE, he shouldn’t have taken matters into his own hands, why cut up the stuff of a homeless man when he already has so little, the stabbing obviously wasn’t self defense..stab him once, twice MAYBE even 3 times that could be self-defense bc even the detective said it but 15 TIMES! no, im sorry, and if either one of them cared, they would’ve walked home and called an ambulance or the cops, not leave a man bleeding to death.
Again, yes this story was VERY shocking to me & im sure to anyone who knew John, he was being immature & things got out of hand, and this just went TOO far. But I do NOT agree with what he did at all, and its sad to see the rest of his life ruined, but he brought it upon himself. At least he still has his life.
I’m sorry to others that have to deal with what some of our IGNORANT teens do & have to say, but please know, not all of our generation is like them. So I ask please don’t generalize. Thanks.
it’s one “n”
If John Hawthorne and Cameron Milner were not “two murderous kids” before, after 8AM on Wednesday, July 22nd, they officially EARNED the title. Fortunately for Cameron Milner he will probably get the chance to testify against his best buddy to keep from going down with him. Both are guilty. BOTH. Did Cameron Milner try to stop the murder? Did Cameron Milner call the police? Or hey–how about an ambulance? Did Cameron Milner call an ambulance? No, he went home, took a shower and posted his remarks on Facebook. Immature? How about EVIL. Just plain EVIL. He IS a murderous kid EQUAL to the likes of his best friend & lover, John Hawthorne. I am sure they got extremely aroused during the attack and just couldn’t stop until they achieved their climax—MURDER.
JOHN HAWTHORNE MURDERER. CAMERON MILNER MURDERER. Repeat it to get it straight in your mind. He labeled HIMSELF when he took part in the death of Joel Boner.
These two people, John Hawthorne and Cameron Milner are MURDEROUS ADULTS.
Love, first off, you should change your name. Your statements represent No love. I just had a couple of questions. How old are you? what is your name? You come on here as if you know so much about him. Lon Boner has given his real name, I’ve given mine. I think your comments were the rudest and the most disrespectful. They are not targeting the story, and I’d like for you to say good things about John Hawthorne or Cameron Milner. Not just come on here and attack the blogger, which is me, and I can delete your comments if you keep this up…tell us something to help the story. Why do you think its ok to come on here and threaten Lon Bonner whose just lost his nephew. And the guy you’re defending is the murderer. You tell me to grow up. How old are you? Now let me say this. If you’re older than I am. This is going to be one strange thing, but you’re shocking me right now with your behavior. This story is not about you, yet you have so much passion. Love, take that passion and put it to good use for your “friend” John Hawthorne. You didn’t help him out at all. Out of John Hawthornes mouth. He and his friend had been drinking all night. He made that admission to the authorities. John Hawthorne did that. Can you tell us something that will help us understand him better? Thanks Love
Lon, I wanted to reply to your comments. Not so much to elaborate on them, but to tell you thanks for being so tactful. You are dealing with a generation that is selfish and really doesn’t possess the skills to sort love. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for presenting the facts about Joel David Boner. Its commendable. I do not condone the attacks that you are receiving on here, and I don’t allow this nonsense. However I wanted to explain this. I have decided to keep this an open forum so that people can see each others ideas and challenge them as they see fit. My apologies to anything that you read on this blog Lon. My heart goes out to you and your family and I hope that someday you can find restitution for the crime that was commited against your nephew. Don’t let their rudeness and lack of respect for your pain change you into something you’re not or don’t want to be.
I refer to the legal aspect of admitted murder, by the way I am not drunk and dribbleing all over myself like you”sound”.
I have little concern for inbred dufus like “watch this”
individuals who deny, in the face of John’s admission (that is not just to the truck pull dear)that John killed Joel,
who enjoyed truck pulls by the way, for no reason other than to do it. I trust you, John, Cameron and your ilk enjoy your bragging rights. Maybe you can get conjugal visits…
alright LON listen here everything you are saying makes you sound dumb.
1.) he doesnt do drugs, okay so you coming up with this story of him being on drugs and saying that he is on all this stuff is a complete lie.
2.)ya he might not have marks on him some people dont get hit in fights did you ever think of that? but im pretty sure the news on the orlando sentinel online stated, “joel was the one who was on top of him” sooo i dont get where your saying it was a one person fight.
3.)Also the orlando sentinel contradicted itself by stating that john pulled out his knife begining to cut his stuff up but then they said while joel was on top of him he had pulled his knife out for the first time and began stabbing him???
4.)like i said if you want to believe what you hear on the news i would suggest to listen close hearing that joel was on top of him? and also the guy who found your nephew could barely even see these so called 15 stab wounds.
5.)no cameron didnt help get joel down he helped try to seperate them
Oh yeah and in my opinion if your nephew was so called “homeless” why did you never help him out, I think thats a sense of you could have cared less about him until now cause he is actually gone. and arent you a monster saying that you want john to die by “sparky” well isnt that just the nicest thing I’m glad to know we have people walking are streets wishing for people to die well damn.
Oh and ericka whoever the hell you are, honey he is the same damn kid he was in school and as a drop out.. one he wasnt a fighter or a partier all the damn time! the stupid little bitch on the news who said that is one to talk because everyone knows who she was so she shouldnt have hid herself. The girl wasnt his friend she was a girl who wanted to look cool on the news and really Kayla Stewart you didnt look that cool on the news sorry to say! He never did drugs you didnt know him at all, so how could you say those comments? His parents would NEVER disown him, he has never done things like this before you act like you know his whole life YOU DONT! and actually i have his facebook page, there is nothing about HATE CRIMES or THIS JOEL guy on there so get your facts straight.
I know what he did was wrong, i know that not him at all, but for people like you guys saying things that you get off the nes is completely wrong!
and i think i read that your like 34 with a 15 yrs old son, and that you have been threw alot in life.. sweetie grow up your just going threw a mid-life crisis and you need a life right now
thanks you very much and Lon if you really wanna make comments that you want him to die, Im pretty sure that gives me the right then to make the same statement for you then right?!?!?
I am Lon Boner (yes I know I am lacking s consonant here)
My children preffered to pronounce our name Bonner but in a cruel and thorny world this tactic failed. My girls have no nicknames, just a last name. This may be criminal in some state so do not tell.
I am Joel David Boner’s uncle Lon. Joel held a passport and had traveled to the Phillipines, Cambodia, Thailand and perhaps to places unknown by his family. He chose “tent travel” kind of like the old “youth hostel” travel before the movies came out. Yeah backpacking accross Europe is not criminal yet is it? Imagine a person “tent camping in America? “Worthless vagabond” “homeless bum” monikers come to mind.
Joel is the son of my older brother Paul H. Boner JR and comes from a family of 10 children having 4 brothers and 5 sisters. With all that family Joel was a quiet man and a gentleman.
On the otherhand, having listened to the news reports,
John Hawthorn is merely a predator who has made his first kill. In considering all the witness statements and the testimony of the Police reports (all simply the regurgitation of the murderers own words) several items do not fit the picture.
1- since when did all night beer drinkersfail to sleep or pass out? is this a new additive to beer? Drink all night
kill some guy, go home shower up, comment on my social experience of the evening, have a donut?
This sounds more like drugs than beer to me, maybe methamphetamine. School drop out?
2- the big altercation. In a fight there are two involved.
In the video of the now timid murderer he has no “marks”
demonstrating anyone sitting astride him while he was prostrate on the ground fearing for his life. No fight.
3- John having arrived at the homeless resort finds Joel sleeping and wakes him up. By his own admission he has already begun cutting up Joel’s possessions with what?
Pinking shears? No his own knife, and once Joel is outside the tent facing him does John put his knife away?
4- in his early statement to the police John said “he (Joel) tried to walk away from me and that” pissed me off?
Odd that Joel was stabbed 4 times in the back.
5- Cameron the High School Grad was present during the whole experience (hope it was good for you too) and did nothing. Wait, in the early statements John said Cameron helped him “get Joel” down, regardless Cameron saw the murder in progress and did nothing, he heard Joel’s plea for help and did nothing, went home and showered. That by law is an accomplice (after? during?).
