[quote=flu]Folks, I apologize. This thread took it for the wrong direction, and it’s partly my fault.. That wasn’t my intention.
If it’s ok with all of you, I’m asking if Rich can delete all the comments on this thread.
Because the entire point was to get people to help, not to throw everyone into a slapfest. And I should have known better (I had this rage going on for the past couple of days, that I haven’t even gotten much sleep over this over the past couple of days, let and alone did pretty shitty at the autocross yesterday too)…So I’ll take the accountability on this one.. (Yeah, I know, foreign concept)…
Anyway, if folks want to help, send us a message on
facebook.com/JusticeForAlexianLienNow
If you don’t, that’s fine too. We have about 15,000 people so far that are following us and there’s soon to be another 8000 or more once we complete merging a few other groups…
Besides just “liking” this, we’ve been getting a lot of help from people who are on social media who have stumbled across videos, blogs, IM’s, instagrams, etc from people who are affiliated with these mobs who are now trying to delete things.. Obviously, in the day of data caching on the internet, one can’t really “delete” things once it’s out there, so folks have been really helpful and sending us stuff that people are trying to delete.
And it’s working because as terrible as analogy it is, it’s like having 20,000+ workers that’s watching these folks on the grid, which is probably even more effective than the NSA….
If you want to help, and you’re active on social media, that’s where we can get help from.. More information, more data, more evidence you come across, even if you think it’s a duplicate. That’s fine. Submit it to us, and we’ll cull it to see if it’s a dupe…..
The rest is up to the justice system to decide…
With that, I’m signing off this thread because duty calls…[/quote]
I for one, am glad you posted about this. I actually didn’t know about this till coming here since life is busy and I follow these forums loosely now (and don’t follow much news unless it’s financial). I think you’re also raging for the simple reason that you see that this could’ve been you. Me as well.
Since I’m not a rider, but have a family and kids, I could’ve just as easy been the SUV driver and ran over these guys.
For the people who are more supportive of the bikers, do they have a family/wife with very young kids and do they ride? That’d probably explain a lot of the back and forth since we’re all predisposed to prejudge based on our background/experiences in life and what/who we relate with.
I was raging over this case as well, but my wife didn’t seem to care to much. Maybe it’s cause women always had these fears all the time in general.
