"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

Eye Surgery Repeated

August 23, 2012 by Ryan's Rally LLC 19 Comments

On Tuesday morning, Ryan needed his tarsorrphaphy eye surgery redone. Since it failed the first time, this one was far more radical. 

I just have two things for today. These show and say it all.

The first is his picture taken on Tuesday afternoon. It’s tearing me apart to see him this way. Fair warning though, it’s hard to look at without getting pissed-off and saddened. By the way, that’s the appropriate response and I hope it compels you to take action. The second is a link to a past post, Austin Vantrease Parole: We Must Take Sides. Please read it. Read it again, if you already have.

The repeated eye surgery required a longer double-incision in the eyelids, more stitching, plastic reinforcements, more eyelash removal, and more lid closure.

      I have never seen karma to fail in my lifetime! God sees to this! I could tell some unbelievable stories… …There is little comfort in knowing this, but, truly, what goes around, comes around!

    The man beaten was assaulted by 6 men, from a minor to age 55 years old. The victim worked for the Shale drilling field according to a news release I read, he was not a student. What makes these people think its ok to kick someone in the head or anywhere?
    Hopefully the Morgantown jurors will find them guilty and the judge will this time have enough guts to sentence them to the max instead of the 2-10 he sentenced Austin to.
    As for Ryan, he does look sad, and its sad to see him like this, he deserves better. I hope the parole board is able to see some of the pictures of him like this. Praying that in days we will be relieved that the Divineys do not have to worry about Austin Vantrease walking free for what he did to Ryan and their family.

    If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of painkiller did they prescribe and how long do you estimate Ryan will need it? By the way, my letter to the parole board has already been sent and most likely received.

    Wrapping you up in love and prayer; saying I’m sad and outraged doesn’t touch it.

    PLEASE EVERYONE SEND IN YOUR LETTERS TO THE PAROLE BOARD ASAP — LET US HELP RYAN AND HIS FAMILY HAVE THIS TINY MEASURE OF “JUSTICE.”

    Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope and pray that A. Vantrease is not set free. He deserves so much more than he received in the first place.

    I don’t know if you keep up on Morgantown news, but today on WBOY.com, there is another unfortunate story that is entirely too close to Ryan’s story. Police found a young man unconscious & unresponsive on the ground & a group of men (I use this term VERY lightly) were arrested. The victim is listed in critical condition.

    These incidents have to stop!

    My heart goes out to your entire family & the family of this new victim of a senseless beating.

    Praying for Ryan and family. I pray that God has complete control over the parole of Austin Vantrease.
    I am devastated for you and Ryan when I look at these photos. No one should have to go through this. I am so sorry.

    I’m at a loss for words. As cliche as that may sound, it is true. I hate this for you.

    Prayers, as always,
