PHISH INCIDENT

I don't believe this was posted yet.....

(Not for the faint hearted)

"he had been snapping "art photos" of the girl ... but the girl's family wants to let Gordon off the hook"

WTF!?

I think he's getting Hell's Angels justice.

Wait, wait, wait. There are bath houses just for state employees?

Damn, what kind of drugs was he on to just "borrow" a Hell's Angel's daughter without permission? I Woul've hated being in his shoes when they got to him befor the cops did

none of you know what really happened.

Exactly... This was actually already posted a little while ago, and based solely on that article people were convicting him of molestation and pedophilia, accusing him of victimizing multiple children, and being an out of control deviant sex fiend. People were saying that based on this alone he should be locked up for life.

hippies suck.

if he had acted improperly with her, and believe it would have been impossible for him to conceal it, there would have been a real"dead show" before the authorities arrived....i think he must bed innocent of at least any outward impropriety....

Before AND DURING his marriage with his first wife, this guy's mistress was a hippy gal that I went to school with at Oberlin. I am not making this shit up, he would hang around the dorm all year when I was a freshman (6 years ago, natch). His wife would be sidestage at the Cleveland shows and then he would come out to Obie and fuck her out by the field house. It was really sad, because she desperately worshipped him as a musician and thought she was totally in love with him. Funny thing was, he would go for almost any girl on campus, and some bit unbeknownst to Ms Mistress... I thought he was the creepiest motherfucker out there.

I'm no Phish fan or non-fan for that matter, I could care less. I like all sorts of stuff but that technical jamming has no soul. Irregardless of his musical talent, I hope this fucker gets slammed at some point.

Fuck the dirty phish fucker! Ha! Multiple puns! El Asso Wipo strikes again!

i knew there was a reason i hated that band...my friend "D-day" smashed the window of a car just because it had a PHISH sticker on it...yeah he rules


some names might have been changed to protect the innocent.

So are you saying that people convicted of child molestaion, pedophilia, victimizing multiple children, and being an out of control sex fiend are not grounds for locking someone up for life? 20 years, then, maybe?

God save me from illiterates...

Read what I wrote again.
He wasn't ACTUALLY convicted of those things, and has never even been charged with them. People *in the thread* were convicting him of all that based solely on what was mentioned in a similar newspaper article, and calling for him to be locked up (again, based only the information reported here).

No need to get pissy, Helter, your point was simply unclear to me and I was asking for clarification. Throttle back, Turbo. ANd you still didn't clarify, really. Do you think that, had this person actually been convicted of child molestaion, pedophilia, victimizing multiple children, and being an out of control sex fiend that a life sentence isn't warranted?

Maybe YOU should re-read MY post and use some decorum before calling someone an illiterate.

Hence my comment about illiterates.

Yeah I did. You asked "are you saying that..." I think even you could see that my answer was an emphatic "no, that's not what I was saying".

Sure, but that has absolutely no relevance to what I was talking about, which was how damaging accusations like this can be, and how quick people are to assume the worst in these cases.

No really I don't have to. I already read it a number of times before I responded. You were asking if my statements meant something, which they couldn't possibly be interpretted to mean unless you hadn't actually read them, or are partially illiterate.

Let's recap.

Someone says: What sucks about these situations is that just the accusation, or even appearance is enough to fuck someone for life.
I say: yeah no kidding, this was posted before and everyone had pretty much convicted him and wanted him locked away forever based on nothing but what was in that article.
you say: so are you saying that convicted pedophiles shouldn't be locked away?

RIDICULOUS! There's absolutely no reasonable way to derive what you did from what I wrote.

Do you have a link to a news story about this or some other kind of source?

Helter, I was asking you whether you thought people convicted of the crimes you listed should be locked away for life, I wasn't commenting on whether this particular person was innocent or guilty or whether this person should or shouldn't have been tried on boards like this by people that don't have all the data. It was a very direct and simple question, I thought.

Except that you weren't asking that. You were asking if that is what I meant with my statements, ("so are you saying...") you even alluded to as much in your previous reply.

I hear there are brands of decaf now that taste just like regular coffee, Helter.

yeah, bring on the source. where was she when the cops hauled him off? doesnt make sense.

Well, we ARE talking about a biker chick at a dead concert here... I'd lay money on everyone involved being at least a little fucked up. Hell, she might have said that he could take the girl, then forgotten about it and called the cops.
