eremy: wah?
4:32 PM it’s mfing mardis gras tonight
me: what?!
Harm-Stop: I didn’t know I was going to get drunk tonight
me: i did- its our dinner tonight
4:33 PM with ian
today has been nuts
reporters have been calling me
Harm-Stop: why?
because of the blog?
me: yeah
i got some backdoor info
and posted it
evidently people went nuts
4:36 PM you read the updated info i had put on there?
Harm-Stop: just now
well
me: i had put on some updates earlier
Harm-Stop: that’s pretty ballsy of you to do that
4:37 PM you may be slightly turning public opinion against a wrongly accused
man
me: i took it off
4:38 PM if you just looked, you shouldn’t see the info anymore
all i have on there now is publicly available stuff
before i had posted on there that the security tapes showed that trickle dude murdering him
and said a whole bunch of other stuff
i did turn public opinion against him
Harm-Stop: was that true?
4:39 PM me: fast and hard apparently- graham, a guy who is friends with the killer, said he was getting tons of phone calls
yes it was
but it’s not public info yet
Harm-Stop: yes it is
me: i had no idea my blog would catch on fire like that
actually i kind of did
4:40 PM i put up a link to it on Ourspace and Faces-Open
and a bunch of people picked it up and reposted it
i didn’t know reporters would start calling like they did
Harm-Stop: that’s a little too much playing god
me: yeah, that’s why i took it down
i just left up public info
Harm-Stop: you only had hearsay
me: yup
Harm-Stop: hope that is was true
4:41 PM me: well hearsay from the family
who had watched the tape
4:42 PM yeah, i think i rapidly changed peoples ideas
Harm-Stop: yo, this gets me thinking
you shouldn’t fight people
4:43 PM it could change the course of your life with one slip
you are the most prone to this of my friends
me: hmm true
Harm-Stop: says the ex motorcycling friend of yours
me: lol
4:47 PM Harm-Stop: you just added more directly to somebody’s incarceration/ public haranguing than most people ever do
crazy world this
4:49 PM me: shit dude got another email from reporter dude
4:50 PM he wants a picture of fred
i called another guy and the decision at this point looks to be to cut the press out
its crazy how i became the go to guy when someone i haven’t seen in like 2 years dies just because i stuck up a blog
4:53 PM Harm-Stop: I guess the way to honor him is not to bask in any type of attention you get, and try to leave the image of him he would have wanted when given the opportunity
I’m sure you will
me: yeah
look at my post
any suggested changes?
4:59 PM me: what do you think?
5:02 PM Harm-Stop: I think it’s more tasteful if you left it alone
me: what do you mean?
Harm-Stop: I don’t know though
if it had been me
5:03 PM maybe I’d want you to aggressively pursue the murderer
me: that’s what Moham said
he wanted me to tell the world about the murderer
5:04 PM lol… its pretty fucked up
but i also should respect the fam
hmmm
the cats out of the bag, but is there anything i can do to make it more tasteful?
5:05 PM Harm-Stop: dunno
it’s a difficult line to balance
if your motives are pure, who gives a fuck
or that was my old theory
with DTS
things are different
me: what would DTS Harm-Stop do
?
5:06 PM Harm-Stop: then you have to care what other people would think of your actions
5:07 PM but honestly I think you have to throw other people’s and your opinions out the window, and think to of that dude and his family
me: and what would be best from that perspective?
5:08 PM Harm-Stop: literally think of his grieving family
and what image he wants burnished of himself
what he was proud of
friendships, siblings
5:09 PM I kinda just went through this
5:10 PM my stepdad just had a few heartattacks in succession
emergency surgery, and he’s making it out of it
he’s treated me really well, in fact I’ve become a his friend
5:11 PM I’ve talked with him, called him several times
told him in so many words how much he means to my Tron
you could call his parents if you feel that is your place
5:12 PM me: dude, i dont even have their number
and that wouldn’t be my place at all
lol
shit
i sorta dived into a pool with no water in it
5:13 PM i altered my post a little more
i gotta go home
5:14 PM kind of nervous about leaving this alone though
Harm-Stop: yeah
be careful about slander
me: yeah, i took that stuff down
5:15 PM Harm-Stop: happy Mardis Gras!
tell Ian and Fletch I said YO!
me: you too stud
Harm-Stop: Thx
V
5:47 PM Harm-Stop: so what’s on the menu tonight?
any herb for desert?
me: lol
going out
pizza probaboly
5:58 PM Harm-Stop: I’m in the process of hiring some mexicans to move me
me: lol
Harm-Stop: the cheap labor here is ridic
5:59 PM if I hired a “massage therapist”
what else would I need?
6:00 PM me: lol
Harm-Stop: a chef
that would be nice
I could probably find something reasonable
they come and cook me food for a week
wow
I can’t wait to be done with law school
that will be a reality
