"We love you Gary Glitter" - What the actual Fúck ???

Lapin

Just watching the scenes outside the court as that raping nonce monster
Paul Gadd AKA Gary Glitter gets sent down for 16 years.

There are actually a crowd of supporters wishing the bastard well, waving their 1980s Glitter annuals and albums and singing his songs.

What a shower of cúnts.

They should all be investigated for pedophelia.

And Gadd should have his bollox cut off.

How can you be a fan of someone who rapes eight year old children?

I'm not.

When I was a kid growing up in the 70's I had a Gary Glitter picture on my wall not knowing that my picture was probably on his wall!

Never underestimate the blind stupidity of the general public.

They probably think he's innocent or not to blame. Idiots who hero worship someone to that extent will find any rationality they can to explain away evil deeds.

I wonder if any of them have ever been abused / raped as children.

Would never wish it on my worst enemy, but to these muppets, just feel the pain of that and the effect it has on your life, and then go and support him.

I once liked a Gary Glitter tune as a kid.

I'll hand myself in.

People are entitled to their own stupidity.

But anyone who proclaims public support for child rapists is suspect in my opinion, and merits a thorough investigation for the protection of society in general.

A complete search of their properties, phone records, computer hard drives and who they associate with is well in order here.

Shower of creeps.

Investigating those morons for pedophilia is equally ridiculous, if you're serious.

They're just morons. They'd be supporting him no matter what the crime was.

Talk about using a totally unrelated case involving a very different situation to make a point that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Would you trust people like them around your kids?

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31657929

"Sallie Bennett-Jenkins QC, defending, told the court that Gadd had been subject to a "very high degree of vilification" and "demonification" in the press after being jailed in Vietnam in 2006 for molesting two girls aged 11 and 12.

She said he had led "an increasingly isolated life" for the last decade and had been unable to walk down the street "without being the subject of vilification"."

My heart bleeds for him.

Seriously, I know we're all entitled to a defence and all that, but hate that sh1te.

How is it different?

If Gary Glitter supporters should be investigated for being pedophiles, surely Mike Tyson fans should be investigated for being rapists, no?

Or is it different just because your sense of moral outrage says so?

I hope glitter rots in a cell and has nasty things happen to him but your post is idiotic to the extreme.

They are fans of the guy, its amazing what people forgive. They probably would look at someone in a similar situation like Savile, priest etc and condemn them but they love Glitter so they can find excuses. I've seen it myself, ah sure he wasn't aware of what he was doing, he didn't mean any harm, he's sick yada yada yada. When you have an emotional connection with someone you will overlook some of the most disgusting behaviour.

Lapin jumps the shark - finally. The world is full of people who support and sympathise with dreadful people. This crowd are no worse or better than the rest of them.

I'm somewhere in the middle.

I see completely where you are coming from. But at the same time, know that if anyone ever felt anything good towards the scum who raped and abused me as a child, or excused them in any way, even if cos of an emotional connection of some sort, I would definitely be in two minds about letting them near my kids knowing that.

And because of that I'd find it hard to thing that way in that personal situation and not think similarly towards towards people who excuse / like high-profile scum who've done something similar.

I think each of our own experiences of life will obviously highly influence our thoughts on this.

Although on thinking about it, I don't think the not being sure about letting them near my kids would be so much about what they might 'do' to them, more about the type of person they are.

I don't know any of them. They sound like blind fan types. The focus is Glitter, not a defacto support of child molesting.

While we are at it will we do a similar search on all such property belonging to fans of Roman Polanski? He has had plenty of public support from figures such as Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Michael Mann, I assume that makes them suspected child abuse supporters too?

Michael Jackson had a big support group and still huge, still referred to as the king of pop. I do believe with him there was no smoke without fire and he was accused of many things and settled out of court. You only have to watch that oprah or bashir interview with him to see that he was mental and had a strange way of justifying his unusual behaviour. Even maybe people excuse it because he wasn't convicted but Gary Glitter has been convicted.

I do think its wrong of people to support Gary Glitter. Im not sure about investigating each one but they clearly have their wires crossed somewhere. He reoffended after being caught and obviously doesn't think he has done anything wrong. Anyone ever see that creepy clip on youtube of him on "this is your life"??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2p8_4pqTI

Anyway I understand that people like the songs, but to go and offer your support to him outside the court is very bad taste. By supporting him, those people are sending a message that if you are celebrity that no matter what you do, you still have people behind you. People actually taking their time to go out and wish a convicted paedophile well is sick and may give other paedophiles a sense of what they are doing is ok or acceptable.

I was just about to say, half of Hollywood had their arms up in support of Polanski.

Hell, I'd even go as far as saying he's a creepy **** who should face charges for what he did, but there's no denying he makes a damn good movie. I'd be lying if I said I didn't love Chinatown or The Pianist, or that The Ninth Gate is a seriously underrated gem and one of Johnny Depp's best roles.

Glitter deserves to be hung.

Simple as that.
