Burnt Orange Report

This guy deserves to have the book thrown at him. This guy was not "forced" into this criminal lifestyle. He did not have to steal to feed a family or purchase some other necessity. (not that those are justifications for committing a crime, but they are releavnt to the issue of sentencing and "how bad a person he really is").

Instead, this person consciously chose evil. He deserves whatever he gets.

Furthermore, Byron isn't my only friend to have some contact to him. Another friend of mine has a very good friend who lived in the dorms at SMU with Havard and she alleges that he raped her after subduing her with GHB. He is scum and he can rot in hell.

I saw the Havard story today, and all I could think was, "Didn't the Observer have this months ago?"

hey well i knew doug, even when he lived in dallas i still remember his apartment and i am friends with his sister. I feel sorry for doug...he could have been really successful in the real world...but i hope that this is a wake up call for others who do things similar to what doug did because we are not living in the movie"catch me if you can" be careful and doug...hang in there man.

did anyone ever meet his girlfriend Stephanie he was dating for years..i think she worked for his Dad according to a good friend of mine from SMU. I heard his roomate Sal said he protected her from everything, she was the one who bailed him out of jail. I heard he only let his friend Payne & Softee near her....anyone??? Heard she's super hot now

he's not a bad person, he just does stupid things. byron, i know you dont remember me, but i'm doug's sister. the less you and anyone you know say, the better for me and my family. i'd appreciate it, ya know?

Doug and his family are lying theives. He and his family deserve whatever they have coming to them. His family knew what was going on and his sister should be listed as an accomplice to a fugitive. I don't know how you(his sister) says he is not a bad person. Tying somebody up and pointing a gun at them isn't bad? Taking a Jr. in highschool to a shooting range during the student council car wash isn't what i call good. I can't wait till he gets sentanced for life.

can frank/classmate in highschool please email me? i'd love to tell you what you do and don't want to hear.
and, for the record, my parents are not lying theives, but hard-working, self-made people who are trying to cope with what their idiot of a son has done.
and, i am not a lying theif. i am not an accomplice. i lived in a house when i was thirteen with a brother who didnt give a shit about me or what anyone did to me. if you think i truly believe that my brother is not a bad person, then you've taken my trying-to-defend-him-unsuccessfully for truth. my brother has done horrible things to horrible people, but, for my parents' sake, i want everyone, specifically those of you who knew him, to stop talking about him. we didnt do a damn thing, he did. and, he's out of everyone's lives now but mine
and what i wouldnt give to have him out of mine too

People Make Mistakes, The person that has not made a mistake should be the person to throw the first stone-- Personally i had have made my mistakes, some of them where when Doug and I where friends or some would say "associates". I have since turned away from my old ways, and I am sure Doug would have grown out of his. the only hang up is when a youthful mistake of gaining profit from the forbiden and exciting ways earns you thousands if not hundreds of thousands then it make it that much harder to turn away. I have served a small sentence for the one of the mistakes ive made and made me open my eyes to the consequences if i was to get in trouble for the more serious things i was involved in. Doug never had the good fourtune to spend a year in prison to give him a chance to open his eyes, and that is sad that his first jail stay that is over a day is going to be (probably) until his death. To Dougs family: He is truly sorry for putting you through this. I was once the "idiot son" the "bad person" the "wanna be gangsta" and no one saw me as being one to be sorry and i was crushed when i had to tell my mom that i was going to be away for a long time and there was noone to blame but myself.
To those who are so critical: why not put a name beside those comments you make? have courage, stand next to what you think you believe to be true
My Name: my name is Adam Metz, some of you will probably recognize who i am, unfortunantly some of you will not have a great opinion of me, but to be honest with you, i dont care what you think of me.

Happy Birthday Doug

ok so I have read a lot of people's comments about Doug Havard and I think that it is really unfair what people are saying about him and especially his family. People are talking a lot about this whole situation and while a lot of what is written is factual, there are also a lot that is not. It is hard to know what is true and what isn't unless you had previously known him. I didn't know Doug very well at all but I used to see him around a lot and I only spoke with him a few times over the phone, and met up with him a few times. One of my best friends knew him really well, though. The things that I have been told about Doug all came from people who were very good friends with him. In no way is this his family's fault. It is already hard enough for them at this time and they don't need people trying to pin this on them.

Doug Havard rocks! After reading his article he is my hero. Rape, assault, drug dealing, it is like a real life Grand Theft Auto (which is my favorite game). Free Doug!

just thought i`d respond to a few comments.... i was responsible for helping doug out in the uk when he was on the run. we where both in the same line of work but unfortunatley, not only is he a bad citizen bad a bad criminal, he has no morales and will fuck anybody at anytime for any amount. he is a sly, two faced low muther and he is rotting in armley jail in leeds at the minute.
