The John Wakefield Massacre - Robin (HG)

Help me understand why Wakefield massacred all those people on the Island. Music Credit: Three Missouri - "Sooner or Later Theyll Get Any of Us"

DEAD AND GONE. BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. - Robin

Everything I read about John Wakefield confuses me. And frightens me. He did things without reason. Without any explanation. What drives someone to be a killer?

What makes you go to an island full of beauty, and destroy it? I can understand running from your past. Trust me, I know pain and anger and wanting to just be alone. But I can’t understand this…

Killing people -- stabbing them, burning them alive, and worse… hanging three and putting them on display for the entire town to see.

No justice was ever served. Or, well, I guess it did, in a way. The Sheriff shot him and he fell off a cliff and died. But was that enough retribution for all the awfulness he brought to this Island?

John Wakefield is dead and gone, but Harper’s Island is still alive and here. I wonder how you go on after something like that. How you live with what happened to the ones you loved. I see these townspeople on the streets and wonder what they’re thinking. What they’re feeling. What they are hiding from the world.

“…John Wakefield is dead and gone, but Harper’s Island is still alive and here… How do you live with what happened to the people you love?”
