Bikers Empty Their Pockets for Idaho Girl

STATELINE, Idaho (AP) - Well-wishers arrived on more than 500 Harley-Davidsons and other motorcycles to empty their pockets on behalf of the biker's daughter who survived a horrific abduction.

About 1,000 people attended the six-hour benefit Sunday to aid Shasta Kay Groene, 8. Cash poured into a box at the front door of Cruiser's bar and grill, a biker hangout in this town just east of the Washington state line. Total receipts were not announced.

``I watched one guy walk up, open his wallet and dump everything but $5 into the box,'' said Prospect Bryce, who guarded the donation box for the Northwest Idaho chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club. ``I've been watching people drop, not small bills but large bills, $100s, $20s.''

The girl's father, Steven Vincent Groene, 48, part of the north Idaho biker community, stood at the front of an impromptu receiving line under a hot sun for more than five hours.

``You say bikers and people think of gangs, but these people are the best people in the world,'' Groene said. ``These people step up for anything and everything.''

The event was held a day after more than 700 people filled the Real Life Ministries building in nearby Post Falls for a memorial to the girl's brother, Dylan James ``D.J.'' Groene, whose remains were found in a remote area in western Montana.

Their mother, Brenda Kay Groene, 40; an older brother, Slade Vincent Groene, 13, and the mother's boyfriend, Mark Edward McKenzie, 37, were beaten to death late May 15 or early May 16 at the family home east of Coeur d'Alene.

Joseph Edward Duncan III, 42, a convicted sex offender, has been accused of killing the three at the home, abducting the two younger children and later killing Dylan.

Shasta and Duncan were found at a Denny's restaurant in Coeur d'Alene on July 2. Shasta told investigators Duncan sexually assaulted her and Dylan repeatedly, according to prosecutors. While it is The Associated Press' policy not to identify alleged victims of sexual assault in most cases, the search for Shasta and her brother was so heavily publicized that their names were already widely known.

No. They will let this crud-bucket sit in a jail cell while his appointed lawyers file any and every piece of paper they can to suck more money from the taxpayers.
Then, once they finally have a trial, if he is found guilty, these same lawyers will file all kinds of appeals for years to come. This mess will take years and years to finally reach a conclusion. And all that time we, the taxpayers, foot the bill while this sicko lives on. Then there will be the bleeding heart idiots who march and protest that he should be spared because his life is prescious and he has rights too. I say he gave up all of his rights when he committed the horendous crimes and should pay the price as soon as he is found guilty. He sure didn't worry about the rights of those people, including children, he murdered and tortured!

BamaVulcan, that's why I'm begging to use this knife (yes it's mine & is in the safe right now) a gallon bottle of honey & a red ant hill.

**2WheelFun** · 07-19-2005

Poor family and friends! They suffer from the horrid loss and then have to wait until the lawyers have their say over the pervert! I always go back to saying that the family member should have their turn with these types and do to them as they see fit.

**Spok** · 07-19-2005

at least there is honor amongst theives and guys like this don't last long in prison.

Yup........I give him 6 months.

On the same subject did any of you see this guys website, I havent seen it but they were talking about it on the news, it was about violating the rights of sexual offenders by listing there names and addresses.

the other people that need to be punished are the 2 guys that gave him money, one was a child doctor,. there are some sick people in the world.

I agree. A couple of really scary looking biker dudes gave my oldest a quarter at the store so she could ride the horsey. They were really nice guys, though, regardless of looks. I treat people based on how I'm treated, not by their looks. I'm probably one of the few people who does that. Some people can't help how they look, and others choose to dress a certain way. It's not for me to judge.

That's why I always try to go by the old saying, Actions speak louder than words.

Yep, me too. IMO, anyone that hurts innocent people, especially children or old folks, needs to get what they deserve. And it should be swift - not drug out for years. Ka- pow!! Ka- pow!! Ka- pow!!

Can you say "TEMPORARY INSANITY" for a defense?!!
