sorry for bad english ;)
ok guys , the brett partridge is alive ' thing ' is good and cool , but bob kirkland still alive ? i dont think so .

also , after reading so many theories i have made my last ' toughts '  :

- brett partridge is still alive
- michael kirkland was just a story , he is not red john and he is dead . 
- bob kirkland is also dead , we saw his death right in front of our eyes !!
- the tyger org.  is the enemy of red john .. and RJ killed the PI and put a fake tattoo just to make the org. down .
- reede smith is not red john but probably he has a strong place in the org. 
- bertram i really dont know what the hell i should think about him .. but i dont think he is red john , but if he is .. i think he is a " double agent " , he work for the tyger tyger and in the samy time he kill with the name of red john , i think that will be truly good .
- ray haffner .. emmm .... i think that if red john is one of the suspects ib the list then its gonna be haffner , he fits the description , he is the ' ladies man ' .
- sheriff thomas , he has the face of a killer , he is always calm and work in a small police of a small town so if he is red john no one in his area will notice .
- bret stiles as everybody said , he is perfectly matched .. he is smart , he is charismatic , he is powerful .. but the problem is the aaaaaaaagge :( 

SO :

- who is red john in my opinion :
1. ray haffner
2. bret stiles
3. gale bertram
4. the sheriff

i think ray haffner is the original red john ( the farm murder ) when he was 'young' but he did it because of bret stiles , i dont know why but thats my tought .. later bret stiles and ray haffner become two killers in one name .. RED JOHN . 

feel free to comment but please without hurting my feelings :)
