what pisses me off this week
Current mood: annoyed
Category: MySpace
I have decided that from now on I am going to be posting something up here every week. and since I have noticed that at least a few people actually look at this I am going to stick to that and probably add a few things this weekend. but now on to the rant.
now I usually enjoy all the weird and somewhat useless posts that pop up on here. I find them generally entertaining and amusing. to be honest if I was better at responding to anything I would probably let people know that they make me laugh. which is something rare enough in this world.
but yesterday when I log on I see something that ends up pissing me off. I had at least 3 posts on my list and this post was titled myspace murder.
now the first thing I thought was hmm interesting. then I read it, well I read all 3 of them to make sure that they were not all the same. they were.
now on the surface I saw nothing wrong with this. I figured everyone has a right to honor the dead in there own way. cool I can let that stand. good for you.
the I read the other 2 posts. they were the same god damn thing. still not that big a deal. but I happened to read all of the posts. it starts of by saying "I hate when people post worhless shit." ok first I think it is kind of presumptious (pardon the spelling) to assume that people think this is anymore important than whatever it is they post up there. now a persons death is serious business there is no doubt about that. but people die every day. and given the amount of people on myspace to begin with, people on here or anywhere else meet there death pretty often. but ok I was able to over look that until I look farther.
now after that it goes on to call a certain person a murderer, and I thought to myself "self" I said "that is a pretty harsh thing to call someone unless its absolutly true." so being that I have way way to much free time on my hands I went and checked the story out. (yes I am that lame. and I really had nothing better to do at the time)
first things first. the title myspace murder is misleading. yes the girl who was killed had a profile on myspace. (although I am not going to name it here.) although that is the extent myspace had to play in anything. the man who supposedly killed her did not (as far as I could) have a profile on this site, nor did they ever talk on here. (if I am wrong send me the link)
now this did not piss me off yet. but then I read the meat of the story. they guy who being labeled a killer has not been arrested for the crime nor is he the only viable suspect. reading the article one can find (especially if they know how cops release info in a homocide investigation) that although they claim he is a person of interest they also have their eyes on other people.
now what pissed me off about the whole situation is that I always thought that in this county people were innocent until proven otherwise (not that I am naive enough to believe that but still.) The only thing the guy has against him is that he is older and he was friends with her. that is about it. He WAS NOT the last to see here alive. and a search of her car led not to him but to someone else. (at least as far as has been released at the time of the article I read)
so what I saw was a crucifiction of a man who while I admit makes a likely suspect, has not even been arrested for the crime in question. and appearently this guy is being accused of it on many blogs in many places.
Do I think the guy murdered her. most likely. but I also know that until all the cards have been dealt there is no reason to accuse someone. because there are still things that are unknown.
but to get to the point of what pisses me off. I do not want to have to look at 3 + (there were more today) of some stupid post that does not even have all the facts straight (plus it has all the guys personal blog sites listed in it) I mean come on now one post is enough. poeple die every fucking day. I could see if the post mentioned that it was a family member, or a childhood friend or something deeply deeply personal (although I do not see why you would post something like that.) but to put up a post about some one who is going to end up as a statistic to the majority of the people who read it, and written by someone who seems to be crusading (I am sure most of you know what I mean.) Now for the person who posted this. if it was a dear freind or a family member I am sorry for your loss. I have been there and I know how it feels. but if it wasn't then let the poor girl rest in peace and if he is found innocent I hope you find a way to sleep with yourself at night knowing that you had a hand in crucifying him. (although if you are like me you probably just did it for fun and if so Kudos to you.)
well I am sure this would not piss off most of those who read it, and in fact I probably look like the bad guy, but oh well fuck it. thats how I feel. I am a cold calluss bastard who would rather be amused than read about how some one got murdered.
and that is what pisses me off this week :)
And now for the man prayer
"I'm a man, and I can change, I if I have to, I guess"
