    They play benefits for Murders...
    Hell, they even let a murder co-write lyrics to one of their songs...

    please elaborate.

    They may play for money, but the band is really about politics and social justice. If they played Israel, it would mean they support what's going on there, because they are all about awareness. But that won't happen because they barely tour to begin with.


    I find this opinion interesting... pj wont play Israel cause they barely tour anyway? really... that's why you seriously think they wouldn't tour Israel?

    when I look at this issue I see it more as more pertaining to justice rather than guilt... that its about the accused getting a fair trial.

    It's a fact. If the band only tours a handful of shows a year, the few cities they are going to pick to play won't be a controversial one, unless they are doing it for support and awareness to the issues plaguing the area.

    Anyone who knows anything about this case knows the WM3 were stitched up.

    Still, out of curiosity, why would you follow a band if you believe that band plays 'benefits for murderers'?

    Eddie Vedder should learn to be more "responsible" with his celebrity power. What is he doing now about the justice of the 3 kids who were murdered?

    eddie is being responsible by seeking justice for the victims through seeking justice for the wrongly accused. don't you want to know who murdered those children?

    Well, for a start he helped to free 3 innocent boys wrongly convicted of the murders, thereby increasing public awareness about the crime in the hope that the real perpetrators would subsequently be brought to justice.

    And what are you doing about it?

    Anyone who know anything about this case (outside the of the documentaries) Knows the WM3 are guilty.

    Am I not allowed to like their Music? I don't look to musical groups form my opinions or identity...

    So you're saying that the campaign group who fought to free the WM3 based their whole effort on the content of the documentaries, and didn't read the case records in their entirety? Because they did familiarize themselves with the case in it's entirety, and you know that. So why are you pretending otherwise?

    Come to think of it, wasn't it you that got banned for starting two threads calling Eddie a liar, and in the process was exposed as lying on multiple aspects of this case? Or am I thinking of someone else?

    If Eddie is being responsible, then why did he lie about facts on this case in his SOLO tour (09) playbill?
    Why raise awareness to a case with lies/half-truths?
    How are you seeking justice for the victims when your only information is through half truth and one sided facts from a HBO documentary?

    why raise awareness to a case with lies/half truths? is justice not about the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

    LOL...
    I did start threads calling Eddie Vedder a liar, and you can still view them, never once was I banned or exposed as lying on any aspect. Your free to look those threads up and point out to me what lie I was exposed on?
    If your going to make your claim I expect you to do the research, much like this WM3 case, you won't, you'll just continue to believe what you want.
    A campaign group headed by a bunch of musicians and movie stars??? LOL

    Calling him a liar again? Unreal.

    You were exposed as lying about the WM3 case back in 2011, and yet still continued calling Ed a liar, claiming that he based his whole knowledge of the case on the documentaries. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=167532&p=3869050#p3869050 You were then given a lengthy ban, and yet here you are two years later singing the same tune. That must be some chip on that shoulder of yours.

    You lied on a number of points. I remember that as clearly as I remembered that the person who was caught lying was the same person that started those threads. And I don't need to go searching through those threads now looking for the finer details.

    And no where was I caught lying... If you can prove it go ahead... I know you won't because you can't.

    I can, because you did. But I refuse to play your game, despite that cute little prompt at the end of your post.

    Ed Ved is a liar, plain and simple.
    I have never been banned on this website, plain and simple. (why don't you just ask KAT)
    So far your 0-2 today...

    Teaser, I know the "research" effort you put into the WM3 case, and figured it would be the same for everything else, Your to lazy to read a thread to support your opinion/accusation and you want me to take you serious on thousands of documents on a murder case... LOL
