		<description>Donna Lee Wray may indeed be in need of some mental health counseling. I&#039;m certain, however, that Donna Lee Wray is in far clearer and more desperate need of some legal advice -- because Donna Lee Wray apparently does not understand how copyright works. 

A phrase as short as a name -- even the three-part &quot;Donna Lee Wray&quot; -- is virtually never copyrightable. Perhaps Donna Lee Wray should consider attempting to trademark the name Donna Lee Wray instead. Even if trademarked, however, Donna Lee Wray&#039;s name could still be freely used by journalists or anyone else to refer to Donna Lee Wray, just like companies with trademarked names, brands or properties such as Viacom, Fisher-Price or Superman are freely referred to by journalists and others who do not own those trademarked names. Trademark infringement only protects the trademark owner against another person or group from using the name they trademarked for a similar business or product with the intent or effect of fooling consumers into believing that the fake is affiliated with the trademark holder; thus, Donna Lee Wray would be able to sue anyone using the name Donna Lee Wray with the intention of impersonating the Donna Lee Wray who thinks no one can refer to her by her name. Even if this Donna Lee Wray were to trademark the name Donna Lee Wray, however, she would still lose any attempted legal action against other persons who were named Donna Lee Wray before this Donna Lee Wray came (briefly) to public attention, because those Donna Lee Wrays, if any, would retain the right to the names they coincidentally shared with this Donna Lee Wray.

I would offer my condolences to Donna Lee Wray on the deaths of her loved ones, but I fear that correspondence addressed to &quot;Donna Lee Wray&quot; might be responded to with a bill, while correspondence lacking a name would likely not reach her at all.

Of course, if Donna Lee Wray should happen to see this comment, she might well attempt to bill me for use of her &quot;copyrighted&quot; name also. Good luck collecting that twenty -- oops, twenty-one -- million dollars from me, Donna Lee Wray...</description>

		<description>did a google search of Donna Lee Wray. she has taken to posting anywhere and everywhere  dozens of News Forums taking/promoting her conspiracy message to the extreme 
the volume of posting is astounding. the messages are disturbing.

 its a shame if shes not getting the psychological counseling she so desperately needs. instead of getting help shes lashing out at the authorities,the police and news reporters.
comparing the plight of Jerry Kane and Son to Ruby Ridge  and Waco

   I live in Clearwater Fla..where Donne Lee lives.and where the Kane&#039;s took up residence for a few months, Donna lee is fairly well known she ran a salon,and like alot residents at one point was a Scientologist,for many years I know her family still practice the religion.

  All Scientologist that I know are anti-psychiatry to the extreme ,even those that leave the church hold onto those beliefs.in some cases
   I doubt She will get the psychiatric care she needs.</description>

		<description>I am a regular member of SPLC but this story prompted me to make an additional donation.  I hope many others will do the same.  Thanks SPLC for all your hard work.</description>

		<description>The rantings of Donna Wray and her so-called common law deceased husband Jerry Kane only drive home a lesson to law enforcement that crazy people are mixed with average everyday dangerous criminals and will kill over a minor traffic offense.  Looks can be deceiving, Jerry Kane didn&#039;t look particurlarly menacing, and the 16 year old Joe Kane certainly didn&#039;t have the appearance of a brain washed time bomb set to go off on a killing spree.  Right wing or Left wing tags should not even be used because when starting from the same place, right and left turns circle back to the same place, CRAZY.</description>

		<description>I have often wondered where a great deal of this pathos comes from. That is until I read: Vigilantes of Christendom (Hoskins) ISBN 1-881867-05-6, &quot;The History of the Phineas Priesthood&quot;.
It&#039;s tough to find a collection of pathological tripe in one place but &quot; Vigilantes of Christendom&quot; does a better job than many.
This rambling collection of diatribes on the &quot;whys&quot; &amp; &quot;hows&quot; of injustices done to whites &amp; the &quot;historical&quot; elements therein is eye opening. The book gives some insight into how some individuals can distort the world around them.
There is a great deal to be learned from this distortion, especially if adopted by a group or collective. 
It is essentially a prescription for alienation at the least and murder if not addressed.</description>

		<description>Mitch, you&#039;re a clever man ;) Took me a minute to &quot;interpret&quot; your magic word - and it is pretty clever.

Well played. sir. Well played.</description>

		<description>The poor woman is understandably distraught. She&#039;s also a nutcase, which can&#039; t help. I feel sorry for Donna Lee Wray. (Do I now owe her $5,000,000?)</description>
