I have read everything on the net and everything availiable on this case. And watched the documentaries.
And while I feel bad for the many young people who are discriminated against in conservative communities because they choose to be different through their appearence and what they read or the music they listen too I feel these three are in fact guilty.
Being a musician myself I can see why celebritires like Eddie Vedder and Henry Rollins who I respect would be more then willing to give these three far more then the benefit of the doubt since both im sure have suffered the same kind of unfair treatment as young people(I did as well) in this case I think their sympathy and support is misguided as their indentification with Echols and Co. has blinded them to the sad truth.
Just because you wear black and listen to alternative music doesnt automatically make you a saintly individualist struggling against a backdrop of rigid conformity harried by jocks and bible thumping rednecks.
People have tried to make the same case for the Columbine killers in a misguided attempt to mitigate or equivocate their attrocities and to indict the Conservative communities they lived in .
And im sorry im as Liberal as they come and it doesnt wash.
Murdering psychopaths can like alternative literature and music too.
