Free Randy Blythe White House Petition

[Dv5]

Whether you are a Lamb of God fan or not, I encourage as many of you to sign this as possible. I am sure many people here are aware of the situation so I will just leave the link to the petition.

He is currently being detained in the Czech Republic where he has not been formally charged with manslaughter, yet is still imprisoned even though all evidence points towards him being innocent. There are multiple videos online that clearly show that he did not cause the death of the 19 year old fan who repeatedly rushed the stage and unfortunately died as a result of his choices. Again, I am sure many of you are aware of this situation. If not, I encourage everyone to do their own research on the matter. This isn't about musical preference, it's about a person who is wrongfully being held prisoner in a foreign country. It's absurd and hopefully we can send the message that we are more than "fans", that we're proactive and aware of how unjust this is. Not only that, but also we're not going to sit back and watch it happen. Pass this link around to as many people you can. Get the government involved in order to end this stupid bullshit (for lack of a better word because there isn't one).

I encourage finding an alternative petition like the one I signed a few weeks ago:

Drop Charges Against Randy Blythe - Change.Org

The one mentioned in the above post is a link to WhiteHouse.gov 'gov' being the keyword in which you have to create an account giving them your E-mail/Full Name.

Allowing a US government (or any other government) website to log your IP address plus willfully giving them your e-mail and full name? Nah...there is a better way.

This is dumb. Just let justice run it's course.

It doesn't seem as though the Czech Republic quite understands the concept of "justice".

I've watched that video and I think he was pretty involved in tossing the dude off the stage. Kinda don't get the people who claim it was all the security guard since you can clearly see the dude from the shitty band following through after throwing the guy.

that being said, if he's posted bail he should be released

America on the other hand is built on justice and freedom

The comments vilifying the security guard are moronic. It was an accident. Nobody was trying to kill the guy or doing anything out of the ordinary. The guy just took the fall all sorts of wrong and died from his injuries. It was tragic but nobody is to blame for this and I'm sure Randy will be released soon as the evidence is properly observed. If he isn't, then we can laugh at the irony when reading Randy's lyrics about hating life and not having one anymore.

have to point out that in a criminal court, "accident" and "just took the fall all sorts of wrong" are among the weakest defenses in any manslaughter trial. and at the very least, Blythe will be sued and in all probability lose any accidental death civil suit.

LOL "shitty band" my ass. Anywho, you can clearly see in the video the security guard using both hands and foward momentum to fling the guy. Randy looks like he's just doing a haphazard one-armed push.
