Jay Wilds' Sole Redeeming Quality or Bob Ruff's Lowest Point
So I couldnt decide which title to give this post, so there are two.... pick whatever fits best.
Basically... I haven't been seriously active on any Sub to do with this case recently but I wanted to take a minute to reflect on an incident that pretty much flew under the radar for most.... but it really stuck in my mind and the single most disgusting act that Bob Ruff has committed in his attempt to be internet famous. This is just my opinion of course, I'm sure many of you have other examples of Bobs duplicity that you personally feel is more grievous than what's below.
So lets look at the key points:
-
I dont like Jay Wilds. If he was in prison right now for his part in the murder of HML, I wouldnt feel like he had been harshly treated. Its very simple for me.... HML would be alive today if Jay Wilds was anything other than a complete piece of shit. Sure, Adnan wanted her dead BUT Jay could have stopped it. Even if you take his account at face value, and I dont, he had prior knowledge as to what Adnan was planning and he helped dump that girls body like trash in a park and attempted to make it so her family would never know what happened to her. Take a second and just let that sink in. Jays actual actions are often overlooked in comparison to Adnans, but at a minimum Jay's actions were heinous.

Jay's story changes, except for one thing. Adnan killed Hae. But why does Jay lie? To minimise his involvement..... we all know this. After all these years the only thing consistent about Jay are his attempts to absolve himself of the consequences his actions created. Even in the intercept interview he is trying to convince everyone, and maybe even himself, that he is not responsible for what happened.

Armed with this knowledge, on the 30th of August it was broadcast that Bob Ruff approached Jay Wilds and in his own words:
I told Jay that I know that he had nothing to do with this. I told him that I believe the police coerced him. And I told him that I believe that Urick and Benaroya still have their claws in him.
And
I told him that after Episode 15, he had an army behind him that is willing to support him if he would come clean.
Bob Ruff approached Jay and offered him the one thing he has probably craved since he participated in the callous murder of a promising young woman. Redemption.
Again, I implore you to actually consider the gravity of this. In order to further his ambition to be internet famous, Bob Ruff tried to get a man who confessed to dumping Hae Min Lee's body in a park after she was brutally murdered, to change his story. Can you imagine if he had been successful? Can you imagine the confusion and turmoil that Hae's family would have felt? Really.... just think about this. Because clearly Bob Ruff and his cheerleaders didnt.
Bob Ruff is a disgusting parasite who will stoop to any depths in order to further his ambitions. Jay Wilds knew Hae was going to be savagely murdered, and not only did he do nothing to stop it he..... dumped her broken body in a park and attempted to hide her so she would not be found. This is the person who Bob wanted his "army" to fight for. If you donated money to Bob? This is the moral fibre of the person you are actively supporting.
The irony is, as heinous a person as I think Jay Wilds is at least he displayed a shred of dignity in refusing Bob's deal.
If I had one message for Bob? When someone like Jay Wilds displays more class than you, its all the indication you need to seriously reassess your life priorities.
