ITP V.012 EDITORIAL: ON RANDY BLYTHE's (PENDING?) MANSLAUGHTER CASE


Regarding LAMB OF GOD vocalist, RANDY BLYTHE's situation as he was arrested for bodily harm 4th degree or manslaughter 6/27/2012 in connection to the death of a stage diving fan at a 2010 Prague, CZECK REPUBLIC show.        
While I'm NOT a fan of PANTERA clones nor LAMB OF GOD,  nor mall core, we all should know the story now. It was the bouncer whom pushed Daniel Nosek as he rolled off stage that fateful night, (5/2010 LAMB OF GOD show) in Prague, CZ..Nosek climbed on the podium to stage dive (three times) and walked right into the bass players instrument, Daniel collided with the bass guitar (accidental) as the bassist walked forward to step on his peddles, idiot CZECK metal hatin, fuckin Commies.                                                                                                                                                          While I find the whole BLYTHE issue ironic to issues in my life (2010): I've met two people from the CZECK REPUBLIC (former housemates, New Paltz, NY neighbors 2010 in a boarding house) whom I HATE to this day,(and I hope they're reading this and get their foreign exchange asses out of my country)  obnoxious drunks with a false sense of entitlement as I too had to protect myself from them and my U.S. neighbors.  A U.S. neighbor  (Joesph Thurston a religious wingnut: http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2011/05/09/blotter/doc4dc8528fb5b4e521820055.txt ) went on to rob a bank (2011), ironically I protected myself from HIM (2010 I didn't kill or hurt anyone, as NPPD racist pigs did nothing to prevent Thutston from touching me, and I was forced to protect myself, and I'm proud I did, as now New Paltz is stuck with the cowardice they created, Thurston went on to rob a bank, I go on to great things ) from him stalking me seven months earlier, and the sick racism from "doyle" (GENESIS DINER manager) as the CZECK neighbors were nothing but provoking all of that.. However, no idiot here or abroad is going to stalk and rob me, I stood my ground, and U.S. criminal justice system can suck a dick, (I hope they prosecuted Thurston him as NPPD did NOTHING TO PROTECT ME) and you all know whom you are in New Paltz, FUCK YOU!
Speaking of the CZECK REPUBLIC, we here in the USA have always treated tourists, foreign exchange students, touring acts with the utmost respect. The irony that Serbian authorities were reluctant to extradite   a Serbian moron whom beat nearly to death a SUNY BINGHAMPTOM college student in 2010:
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Former-Serbian-Student-Charged-With-Assault-for-Binghamton-Beating-86017532.html                                                                                                                           Consider the CZECK REPUBLIC an EX Communist block country in an identity crisis as their new generation of kids are moshing out and stage diving to metal and grind core, and drink like fish at home and abroad.  The CZECK REPUBLIC's OBSCENE EXTREME and  BRUTAL ASSAULT FESTIVALS are must see festivals, as OEF features an hilarious trailer of interesting stage diving and costumed fest goers..                                                                                                                                                           The biggest problems in the CZECK REPUBLIC:
A-Nazi's, that's why ANTIFA exists B-Bigotry vs. "gypsies" or immigrants C-Government detaining anti communist dissidents as recently as 2K as many of them, ironically seek political asylum in the USA. FROM WIKEPEDIA: Between 1948 and 1989 more than 250,000 Czechs and Slovaks were sent to prison for "anti-state activities" and over 400,000 emigrated.[31]
D-Mafia, alcohol and drugs
The irony, separating the CZECK REPUBLIC extreme metal scene from it's government and not holding two drunken morons (former New Paltz, NY foreign exchange student neighbors) against the whole nation of CZECK REPUBLIC:
However, the CZECK REPUBLIC have an outstanding grind core and death metal scene featuring notable acts sutch as LYKATHEA AFLAME, !T.O.O.H.! , DESPISE, ALIENATION MENTAL, GRIDE, AHUMADO GRANUJO, INGROWING as the last three mentioned bands will be playing MARYLAND DEATH FEST 2013. Of course we are all stoked to see these CZECK bands, and they sure do welcome the offer to play here in the USA. 

Perhaps RANDY BLYTHE's arrest is a symptom of prejudice against metal as metal  culture has historically been an often (misguided) scapegoat for societies dark realities. ITP's author is 42, grew up during the PMRC hearings in the 80's and the trial vs. JUDAS PRIEST "subliminal messages" was just a diversion from insane kids (hallucinating)  as BLYTHE's case is a decoy for incompetent security. 
I hope that RANDY BLYTHE will not be the next WEST MEMPHIS THREE of the CZECK REPUBLIC. 
There's nothing that either RANDY BLYTHE nor Daniel Nosek have done that I haven't, with exception that I stage dived only when invited, sorry to hear of such a tragedy.
Stage diving options at shows can vary depending on the venue, bands and promoters. Obviously it's not cool or even LEGAL to jump on the ball field, or stage at most sporting and musical events. Stage diving is reserved for hardcore, grind, core and punk shows, and even then rules at venues can vary.
Hails to THE GAUNTLET for breaking the RANDY BLYTHE story in JUNE, they have done an excellent job in covering the whole ordeal. For the life of me, I can't understand the CZECK REPUBLIC police as THE GAUNTLET posted UN-EDITED footage of the stage diver in Prague. THE edited version of the LAMB OF GOD VS. STAGE DIVER video conceals the identity of the person whom pulled the stage diver off the stage. Towards to the END of the video, the man with the black painters cap, smoking,  whom is arguing with Nosek, as that indeed is the culprit.
The only question is: Whom is the man in the black painters cap, venue or LAMB OF GOD security, or just a spectator? I'm sure the ABATON's insurance company would love to know whom this man is, to make a distinction between LOG and crew vs. venue securityor a fan.. RANDY BLYTHE's pending case of manslaughter via the stage diver Daniel Nosek will (hopefully) be DROPPED. Notice Nosek continues to headbang after being thrown off stage and knocked out, although concussions resulting in brain injury can show symptoms days later. 




Stop yelling about RANDY, or anyone else whom isn't me, support BLYTHE via contributions to his legal fund: 

As many of you know, Randy is being held in Czech jail for a crime we believe he did not commit. We are still learning about the legal system there and the situation is fluid. We have retained local legal counsel, have support from the US Embassy and we are flying over additional lawyers to try and assure that Randy has the best representation possible. As many of you have pointed out, the simple fact is that the legal fees are adding up very quickly.

While we appreciate the outpouring of support, we are not interested in trying to profit or gather press or sympathy from this event. We have assembled this page to make it possible for people that feel so inclined to donate to the expenses incurred in defending this case. One hundred percent of the money raised will go to the legal fees and any remaining balance will be given to a charity of Randy's choice upon his release.

Thank you - Lamb of God
