Teen Murderer John Hawthorne is out on bond. Agree?

I didn’t want to write a long message on behalf of this story. I wanted to just state what the news provided and then present it to you.

Yes I have an opinion of what could have been done with the bail money. It could have went to some local Homeless shelters to assist the homeless. Orlando Union Rescue Mission is one of them. I think that since they’ve released him on bond, that he should not be out just hanging around the house. He should be completing some services in the community. I don’t care that he was not found guilty.

He will be at home, with his computer, his cell phone, all the luxuries, yet we have a man who is deceased at the hands of John Hawthorne. Do you think they are letting him off easy by giving him a bond? Tell me what you think.

  1. Hey Blimpy, I’d love to camp out with you anytime. I normally let my readers say what they want, but sometimes the ignorant speak too, and Ryan has always been ignorant. To him it makes more sense to attack me and call me names than to actually look at the problem. I don’t know how anyone can think of protesting on behalf of a missing child case, then find out that the child is dead as a problem. I’d do it again, some people only care about their circle Blimpy, I just care about the outside of my walls as well. Thanks for your kindness. :o )

  2. geez Ryan, are you a friend of Casey Anthony’s too?
    You certainly know all the cool people.
    Her parents were complicit in her crime just has Hawthorne’s are in his.
    And just as Hawthorne admitted the crime, then changed his mind, Anthony’s mother reported a dead body stench from her daughters car trunk, then changed her mind and said it was an old pizza. Lie lie lie lie liars. Murderers and their helpers need to pay the ultimate price.
    Unfortunately no one just tells the truth and takes the punishment nowadays, they lie and perjure themselves under oath and pay a lawyer to lie and lie and lie until the criminals actually think they are innocent.
    If you’ve got money, you can lie your way out of murder.
    Pressure on the liars could bring them around. I think stints in jail would be a better idea, but camping in front of a house could be good too.
    I’d camp on the doorstep with Ericka.

  3. Ryan Graham says “Use the spotlight that Joel Boner has accumulated because of his untimely death and use it to progress opportunities for the homeless. Use this to your advantage, and don’t let this opportunity slip by. The continuous hate speech towards John is just showing that you are incapable of making any kind of progress towards anything and too blind to see that all the hate is doing is fueling more rage, which will be ultimately counterproductive and then Joel Boner will just have been another dead homeless man, you are in charge of whether his death has a positive or negative outcome, not the judge.”

    Well, Ryan, I see our blogging is certainly fueling YOUR rage, and you seem to have a lot of it toward Ericka. Don’t know what that hidden agenda is, but you need to address it.
    Regardless of what you think of her, it was wonderful to have her support at the hearing. To see a smiling face was a welcome sight after driving all of those miles in anticipation of facing the murderer of a family member and the people who are working to defame our loved one in order to keep the murderer from being convicted of the crime he confessed to. We appreciate the fact that she has written about the case. We appreciate her.

    We have made connections with several of your locals who know John but want to help us. They want John to get what he deserves. Cameron too, for that matter. Some of your friends have a conscience.

    Until you have been in our shoes you can shelve your revelations and suggestions about our opportunities and lack of effectiveness. You don’t have a clue what we are doing. Yes, we are swimming upstream because the County of Orange in Florida is a cesspool with so many murders that the police can’t keep up with the investigations. In YOUR city and the news media there, John Hawthorne has been calling the shots since he first began to concoct his rationale for taking a life. The police report has clearly provided the truth about Hawthorne’s motives and mindset. It appears primary colors boggled his mind.

    As Lon described, grief flows deeply and takes on many forms of expression. Quite honestly, i find it cathartic to depict John Hawthorne as the satan worshipper he is (whether HE knows it or not). And will continue to do so.

    What have YOU done for the homeless lately, or for the gay people for that matter? Is it now the task of the Boner family to clean up your filthy dump?
    Perhaps if you did the right thing by testifying about the activities in that woods and the true relationship between John Hawthorne and Cameron Milner, you could start the ball rolling.

    Ryan, you obviously don’t know that what YOU think is our voicing hate for John, is us sharing the true facts of the case with the public and networking in your city. If you read the newspaper blogs you will see much MORE hatred toward John Hawthorne from people that don’t even know our family than what is being voiced here.
    People in Ocoee are tired of living in fear among ignorant animals.

    I would like to think that Joel’s case has “accumulated a spotlight”, but that is far from the truth. Where is it?

    The world is a now a different place for me and my family and all those who knew and loved Joel Boner.
    How DARE you assume you can perceive our grief.
    And, as Lon said, Hawthorne and his camp, including Cameron Milner and his parents have not offered one word of condolence or show of remorse. All they care about is getting out of paying for the crime they have committed.

    Joel Boner was an intelligent multi-faceted young man with a love of life; with hopes and dreams for the future. He did not want to die, nor did he deserve to.

    Do the right thing, Ryan,

    Love,
    Carolyn Boner

  4. Is that Ryan T, Ryan A, or other?

  5. Ryan, the more I read and consider what you have written the more I realize that although you have refered to a dictionary you are still a shortsighted dufus who understands little or nothing of society and certainly nothing of what happens to those involved in crimes like this. Do not presume to tell me what we should do that is just plain offensive.
    Hope to see you in court soon.

  6. Hey I got your compaining right here boy…

  7. IT IS COORECT

  8. Ooh and Ryan, I do recall you, I remember this message from you like it was yesterday. :)

    “haha yeah read it again. I said you are kind of a bitch but I take it back you’re a full fledged bitch. John was wrong and I said that but if you aren’t a friend of either of the families then your “blog” was a biased and heartless attack, I can understand some negative feelings for John but attacking his family is just dirty. His family is completely distraught over this situation, as is the family of Mr. Boner I’m sure. I don’t know what you have against white people or why this has even become an issue on race both John and Cameron are white, and if I am not mistaken so was Mr. Boner. I don’t get it.”

    Does this message that you sent me ring a bell? As I told you before, I didn’t delete your messages, I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Also, Ryan if you’re trying to get on my good side, keep this up, your sweet, endearing letters really please me to the core. :)

  9. Hi Lon, I meant to contact you via email, I sent Carolyn a letter telling her how beautiful you all were. Then I realized that I don’t have an email for you, unless this is the accurate one that you use here. You should have mine as well. I’d love to keep in contact with you Lon, even if it’s to be an ear. You’re a wonderful person, and I’m so thrilled to see you in action. You did a wonderful job on the stand. I’m upset with the outcome of the judges decision, however, there is another day. I eagerly await it. Remember Lon, there is a judge bigger than the ones we face here on earth. I wish for his judgement, God Speed.

  10. I like the wolves. Feed the one you like!

  11. Your tactic of attacking the victims family is old hat.
    Name something good that you will see come out of the murder? What have you done to facilitate change?

    The elimination of “tacit approval” that results from lack of enforcement of DUE punishment for felons
    would be good.
    Have you visited John? What I witnessed in the courtroom 11/12/09 was a punk with no remorse.
    He met my gaze with defiance. There has been no effort made to express sorrow or sadness by either
    Cameron or John. I believe that my brother Paul is now past any reception of that. Grief is an up and down thing. I think I came upwith this one on the ride back, grief finds us Bouyant, Angry, or Empty.
    In these states the best thing is to move ahead.

    Yeah we are disgusted with John and anyone who coddles him. Cameron as well, he has made no effort
    toward saving himself…

    PS Ericka came to meet and greet us and sat through the proceedings as well.

  12. Ryan, thank you so much for your comments, they let me know that I still have that touch for sparking honesty. I like to have an open blog forum, but when someone comes on my blog and curses me out and calls me names for having an opinion, then I get a little frustrated. If your comments were deleted, and I doubt they were, unless they were along these lines that you’ve presented today, then you deserved it. I tend to treat people the way they treat me.

    Ryan, I don’t believe we’ve officially met, so therefore, I can’t possibly take your summation of me into account as I lead my life. Yes I am a protester and yes I talk a lot on this blog, which I have to remind you, it is a space for me. It was designed by me and I control the contents of it. That seems to be your real problem. I love and appreciate the Boner family, they are good people, and using their story to attack me is a bit below the belt. I did like your reaching out to them and wishing them some sort of solace/comfort, but you didn’t have to do it in my honor.
    I believe that the Boner family is doing just fine, and if they want to curse, yell, scream, fight, whatever they feel they have to do in order to get attention for the horrible murder that their loved one endured at your friends hands, then they can do it here. When they are ready to move on, if that day should come, then they are at liberty to do that as well. I respect them for their fight, and I respect them for their stand. At least they are using their voice for something that helps and not to tear down others.

  13. I’ve been on here before and the last time I commented on this ignorant, hateful, racist woman’s blog she deleted all of my comments, now I don’t know why Erika did so, but I figure it was to protect her own egotistical agenda.

    Erika Courtney is just an ignorant and arrogant woman in search of the spotlight by leeching herself onto any high profile story she can get her fingers on, ex. she, along with her young children and her follower of a husband set up camp outside of Casey Anthony’s parents house to harass them, but she made sure to do it in front of a news crew. Because someone’s daughter did something doesn’t give you the right to harass the parents, they were already suffering the loss of their granddaughter by the hands of their daughter, do you really thing it was necessary for the lack of regard towards their feelings just because you had a hunch that they were involved.

    Lon, I am sorry for your loss, John Hawthorne was and is a good friend of mine and he fucked up, big time. He’s going to be punished, yeah he may be in the luxury of his home right now but he’s guaranteed a sentence. Now its all about how you and your family deal with this. He took someone away from you, and unfortunately I haven’t seen you or your family show any attempt to positively influence the situation. Your family member was murdered, an unfortunate danger most homeless people face while living on the street. Use the spotlight that Joel Boner has accumulated because of his untimely death and use it to progress opportunities for the homeless. Use this to your advantage, and don’t let this opportunity slip by. The continuous hate speech towards John is just showing that you are incapable of making any kind of progress towards anything and too blind to see that all the hate is doing is fueling more rage, which will be ultimately counterproductive and then Joel Boner will just have been another dead homeless man, you are in charge of whether his death has a positive or negative outcome, not the judge.

    Ericka Courtney can’t help you because the only people who actually reads her shit hate her for it and the people who do like her is only because they are too ignorant to understand her hidden agendas for fame or they can’t actually read.

    Boner Family, my suggestion is find other avenues for you anger then complaining on some low life’s blog, be productive with the news attention it receives and make a difference in this world for the better, you have an awesome opportunity to influence that was given to you under some unfortunate circumstances, you can’t bring Joel back by encouraging the death penalty for John, but you can help Joel’s legacy live on by the way you handle this sad situation.

    Love,
    Ryan Graham

    P.S. fuck you Ericka Courtney for being everything that’s wrong with the media and the world. You aren’t positively productive to this world whatsoever, this should be called “Ericka Courtneys News Challenged”.

  14. TWO WOLVES

    One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

    He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

    “One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

    “The other is Good – It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

    The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

    The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”

    The Orange County Murder Map is up to 52; eleven more murders since my nephew’s in July.
    The sad revelation I had last night is that people of John Hawthorne & Cameron Milner’s young ages have never known a world without rampant cruelty and violence. This is so heavy on my heart. No, i would not want children in this world. Joel was raised in a strict Christian home and home-schooled, kept out of the mainstream by his family until he was 26 years old. They had no television, no internet and no newspapers. He was basically a young child in his understanding of this declining, volatile world and had no idea of the cruelty, hate and utter disregard for human life people express through these heinous acts of violence.
    He was a lamb who walked into the slaughterhouse.
    And the beat goes on.

  16. Send me the specifics via email and we can talk more. Thanks :) erickacourtney@live.com

  17. Ericka,
    Will you be attending the hearing?

  18. Belvin Perry is now the judge. He is the Chief Judge of Orange County 9th District.
    I have since found out that the bond decision cannot be reversed unless John Hawthorne violates it’s terms.
    GET THIS…
    Hawthorne is asking for his home confinement to be amended so he can “mow the grass”.
    Now i think it is swell that Johnny boy wants to help his parents out around the house, but we’re talking 25 acres that border on the area where all those (as he & his supporters described them) aggressive drunken homeless bums live in tents. Have they been flushed out of the woods? They could be lurking and waiting for Johnny boy. Not only could he begin to ride his ATV around the property without anyone knowing it, heck, he might put himself in harm’s way. Will he hire a body guard?
    I’m thinking it’s not a good idea for Johnny.
    A hearing has been requested.
    Do you believe this arrogant little POS?
    3 months ago he SLAUGHTERED a defenseless man 15 feet from his property. Has he forgotten that? This isn’t high school detention. oh, that’s right, he dropped out of high school.
    YOU’RE A MURDERER, JOHN HAWTHORNE. A COLD BLOODED, CONFESSED MURDERER.

  19. Hey Carolyn, thanks you sharing this personal site with me. I love the pictures of Joel and his brothers. The family looks so sweet. I love the card as well, it’s adorable. Very nice actually. Such a sweetheart for making that. I should post this in my blog roll so that others can see it and get the lasting effect of Joel and his wonderful smile and see the loving people that surround him. :) Also, I’d like to see the comments that came in because of him.

  20. Concerned Citizen, you are definitely on to something. I like the investigative work you did. :o ) I have no clue why he’s out, and as a matter of fact, that would be the reason why I wrote about it. I think there must’ve been something that Judge Adams saw that made him want to release John Hawthorne. Not to mention how low the bail was set at. I cannot understand why it was so low. The family of Joel Boner is outraged to say the least, and who can blame them? This story has managed to get even uglier. The crime was horrific, and now the killer sits outside the confines of the jail walls, where he should be. No one can understand this, and I don’t understand why it wasn’t overturned. Who is the Presiding judge over the case now?

  21. Thank you Curious for your comments to this blog. I am happy to know you’re looking for answers, and thanks for posting the links as well. :)

  22. this video is for Cameron Milner and John Hawthorne.
    you’re next.

  23. What about THIS 2007 Florida murder of a gay man deemed a HATE CRIME?
    the ACCOMPLICE was sentenced to life in prison, the actual murderer’s trial begins October 26th for the stabbing slaying of Ryan Skipper.
    http://www.ryanskipperdocumentary.com/trialnews.html

    or THIS 2007 brutal murder of Morgan Willis in Orlando by 2 young men who have been incarcerated awaiting trial since they were booked in 2007?
    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/custom/data/orl-db-homicide-morganwillis,0,5564182.story

    I have so many questions.

    and the beat goes on…

  24. I just heard this on Jane Velez-Mitchell’s program. In Florida MURDER is a NON-BONDABLE OFFENSE. John Hawthorne had confessed when he was arrested.
    I found this statement online explaining Florida Court process:
    Florida law gives the defendant the right to be released from jail prior to the trial. However, there is no right to pre-trial release in cases
    where the person is arrested for a “non-bondable” offense. To determine whether the defendant should be released, the judge may ask about the length of time that person has lived in the area, whether the defendant
    has a job, has family members living in the area, has a past criminal record or has been released on bond previously and appeared in court as required. The judge may release the defendant on his own recognizance, on monetary bond (either cash or surety bond through a bail bondsman), on monitored release (electronic monitoring device or bracelet), to the custody of a responsible
    member of the community or to a drug program or mental health facility.

    What could possibly be John Hawthorne’s criteria for release? Could it be that the dishonorable Judge John Adams was familiar with his family? John Hawthorne has a past criminal record, he is a high school dropout and is unemployed. He has no positive contribution to the city of Ocoee. Yes, he has a lot of teenage friends who party with him in the woods. Apparently his friends appeared at the hearing while the victim’s family was left totally UNINFORMED of this process according to a statement made by the victim’s uncle.
    Put that together with the fact (public record) that his father, Claude’s prior arrest for possession of a controlled substance brought no charges whatsoever, and you’ve got a VERY ugly story.
    What do YOU think?

  25. A whole lot is wrong with the picture. The man who slapped the child should have had a serious charge, but noone was murdered in cold blood. It’s apparent that people react out of anger, but its not apparent when they go searching for trouble in the woods at 6:00 a.m.

  26. Ericka
    please take a look at this.
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/indee/3886228027/

  27. BOND denied for 61-year old Roger Stephens who slapped a screaming child in the face 4 times in WalMart.
    The 2-year-old victim sustained slight redness to the face, according to the report.

    JOHN HAWTHORNE a confessed murderer who stabbed an unarmed man in the back 13 times and once in the chest is home on $2,500 bond in the custody of his parents who were accomplices after the fact.
    CAMERON MILNER who watched the whole thing and assisted Hawthorne has never been charged.

    What is wrong with this picture?

  28. Why is it not MURDER in THE FIRST DEGREE?
    They planned it from the start.
    This is very frightening.

  29. Well here it is Sep 1, 2009 and more horrendous facts have piled up like drifting sand.

    Cam Milner says he helped John Hawthorne (a regular man, little man about town due to the big and frequent parties he held on the land his parents own) by pulling Joel down to the groun from behind. Yes the young fella’s did it all from behind, no pun intended. Cam said Joel turned to walk away from the boy with the knife and that is when John attacked him with a knife. This accounts for the multiple
    stab wounds found in Joel’s back ten or more in all.
    The fatal blow was dealt to the frontal chest puncturing
    the left lung as joel tried to climb aboard the ATV for a ride to the hospital. Yep this is what Cam has said happened
    Joel asked for a ride to the hospital, jumped on, was pushed off and dealt the fatal blow. These are not nice boys. These are urban terrorists preying on the supposed homeless and the supposed gay. The acute perception of these boys is astounding is it not? Predators a step away from cannibalism. If Joel had been a well known actor we would write a book “Helter Skelter”. i don’t believe the manson family smeared ther own bodies, just the walls.
    Since the revelation of the pictures Cam took of John
    who had smeared himself with their victims blood, we know the boys had cell phones with them. Neither of the boys called 911 even to anonymously report an “injured man in the woods. This reinforces the premeditated desire to harm
    Joel and demonstrates their desire to murder him by abandoning him in the wooded area where they supposed he would he would not make it out. Most should know that there is a hospital less than one mile from where Joel was left, and as John and supporters of John have stated Hawthorne
    manor was about 100 yards north northeast. But Joel did walk out and here we are. When police were inadvertently led
    by the speeding Claude H to his home, where johnnie lived with his parents, the boys were asked if they knew anything about the stabbing (100 yards from the front door, just pitching a tent that close to Hawthorne manor is a capital offense) John said “Hell yeah, I stabbed him”. From their he spilled all the beans as required by law to face Capital murder as was charged by the police who had viewed the crime scene and Joel’s dead body.
    John has stated that he “thought it would be a fair fight”
    me my knife my little dog Cammy.
    Both of these boys were there for the vicious murder. they both went to a site that was NOT UNKNOWN to them. They both tried to provoke a fight with their victim and when that failed john attacked from behind.
    Claude should at the least be charged with evidence tampering and concealing a murder.

    I believe that John Hawthorne should be in jail awaiting trial. When he is convicted of 2nd degree murder he will face 30 years of prison. Due to the horrible nature of his crime I have no idea why he was allowed bond out.

    Here in the Atlanta metro a 17 yr old was charged with murdering a clerk over a $5.00 t shirt. He was allowed to go home to his mommy and soon became convinced that he was Tony Montana (Scarface), removed his ankle beeper left his mom’s house and did a home invasion the same day.
    During the home invasion this boy shot the single mom in the face…beat and cut her infant child…
    There are only spiritual explanations for these actions.

    August 18, 2009

    GA Woman Shot, Toddler Son Beaten
    Police say a woman was shot and her 1-year-old son beaten during a home invasion in south Fulton County. Chattahoochee Hills police Chief Damon Jones says 22-year-old Nikki Neely was shot in the head during the attack just before 9 p.m. Monday. WSB radio reported that one person was in custody.

    Ther is no report on her current condition suffice it to say in the early reports Nikki has a bullet stuck in the back of her skull, the bullet having penetrated her brain.

    No punishment= tacit approval.

  30. Joel Boner, awakened from sleep and murdered, 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 removed and replaced with a righteous Judge. I am hopeful that young john will be back in jail soon. Am I the only person who thinks he may be a flight risk? Then there is the matter of his family life…have they been complicit in the destruction of evidence? The story is being cleaned up every day at the home of the Hawthorne’s.

    For Joel, his siblings, parents and extended family justice is required to satisfy the natural demand for criminal punishment and closure. Victim’s families have the right to seek justice and proper resolve in wanton crimes like this. The Boner family has many questions concerning Joel’s murder in Ocoee.
    John and Cameron committed a hate crime. John by his own hate speech admission branded Joel as “gay and homeless” and in his mind he killed for these reasons and the pleasure he derived from it. Cameron watched John murder Joel. Cameron made no effort to stop the crime, but as John has said helped John to gain control of the victim as he, the victim was being stabbed to death. These first time killers had no idea how difficult it is to kill with a knife. After controlling the victim and stabbing him fourteen times the killers became befuddled and tried to leave Joel (for dead) but Joel rose and asked his assailants for help and for that the final blow, which pierced his lung, caused death. The first to speak to Joel who was found collapsed on Bluford road within sight of the convenience store there has reported Joel’s last words as “please hurry”. This witness of Joel’s final moments said the victim was bleeding heavily from the mouth. These boys did not expect Joel to live and they did not expect him to rise and ask for “their help”. Joel was able to move about two hundred yards to the spot where he was found. Who would have thought that?
    It is important to resolve this heinous murder and every murder. 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. What is the benefit to society and civility to allow self-confessed murderer to direct the trial? Let the facts of the crime scene, the evidence from Joel’s body stand alone in evidence before allowing the “story “ of the killer to pervade the court.
    Nearly 100% of the media coverage presented is sourced from John Hawthorne himself via the first report on the news. In that report police stated what John Hawthorne told them. I have no idea why Cameron Milner has not been charged. Milner absolutely qualifies as Accessory before and after the fact and in between he qualifies as an accomplice to murder. There need to be charges filed now.
    Set an example in sentencing that will provide a deterrent to the crime.
    That Florida is now the #1 homeless torture/murder state in our country is a thing of shame not honor. Perception is important. Roll back the clock on prosecuting criminals in Florida. People were safe to travel and enjoy the scenic beauty FL offers.
    Take stand against lawlessness, we are a nation of laws, return to enforcement of Capital Crime.

    Uncle Lon

  31. Erica please clean up the drunken all nighter commentary. There is nothing constructive about the high pitched wine it generates.
    These little skulls full of mush do not think in a correct sense, as you have noted in the past their points are not issue driven but totally self centered and not profitable.
    Thank you,

    Lon

  32. i think the judge has been bought or is insane.

  33. this is a travesty. plain and simple.
