He seems to have good faith in God and religion.. would have been fun to have him on with the lot from few weeks back who were complaining about religion being pushed upon their kids in the Catholic schools that they knowingly put their kids in:D

Hard not to like the fella lol

I've forgiven many acts from many people in my time. I forgave a friend that strangled me when I accidentally killed his pet. I forgave my cousin when his sister died and he punched my mother. Most of all I forgive anyone pretty much anything when they are staring at the corpse of their child.

Grief is a personal thing and none of us will ever know how he felt at that point, how his mind thought. It is often at these points that you think most clearly.

He never wanted to lose his son, he wanted him to be a part of him forever so he did what he believed to be true, he consumed a small part of him.

I'll not judge this act, I hope I am never in the same position. He will never forget the pain of that loss.

Why is everyone talking about cannibalism? I watched the interview and all he said was he drank the young lad's blood.... never heard a mention of eating flesh

I can understand the sentiment behind what he did.. but it doesn't make the act itself any less hideous IMHO.

Although I'm sure logic and 'what's appropriate' probably goes out the window when someone is the deepest throws of grief.

Plus many (usually lurid)reports of cannibalism among tribal types were actually funerary rites. Where people consumed parts of loved ones and even vanquished enemies as a respectful act. It seems to be quite a deep seated response. Sure it may shock most nowadays, but quite a number of cultures out there would have looked on that interview and nodded.

Seems as inhumane and vile as burning a family members corpse and keeping the ashes on the mantle piece, which is a very acceptable form of grieving in many countries.

In india they burn bodies and let them float down the river.

It was not like he tucked into a medium rare steak of his sons calve muscle.

It was a symbol (i wouldnt do it but i dont think its barbarian, just unusual)

He has a different way of life and set of morals than most of us and i dont mean that in a derogatory way.

Table Top Joe · 17-09-2011 10:14AM

Jesus Christ,just saw the interview,he drank a little bit of his dead sons blood in his overwhelming grief,didnt make a sandwich out of a baby or anything,it was actually very moving when he spoke of him,people who havent experienced that kind of grief have no idea what its like....

temply · 17-09-2011 10:24AM

Delighted to see the compassionate replies goys...:)

dave1982 · 17-09-2011 10:31AM

honest to God

soterpisc · 17-09-2011 10:38AM

He is actually not too bad.. Interesting Character.. Was the best part of the late late..Certainly paints travellers in a different light,

eyescreamcone · 17-09-2011 10:40AM

A lot of people believe that they eat the body and blood of their man/god, Jebers Kriste, every Sunday morning

Cannibalism is rife nowadays!!!
(or at least the perception of cannibalism)

lovely fella yeh!

Mint Sauce · 17-09-2011 11:04AM

Seems like a likable fella if you got to know him. Unfortunatly had it pretty rough with the death of his son, as for the eating and drinking of some of his sons flesh, not defending his actions, his reasoning in that moment of greaf is understandable, but my understanding of watching the interview it was less than a mouthfull.

As for him talking, I understood most of it fine.

Putting all of that aside, apart for appearing on another reality show, whats he famous for?

Teyla Emmagan · 17-09-2011 11:12AM

I like this guy. He seems honest, decent enough.

Utterly mental thing to do of course.

I have no idea how people are trying to make an excuse for cannibalism. Losing a son must be devastating beyond imagination but I've never in the past heard of a person come out in an interview as having nibbled on the corpse. Its barbarism and nothing else.

hondasam · 17-09-2011 04:40PM

Very enjoyable interview, he came across as very likeable. The bit about drinking his sons blood, I wouldn't do it but it's what he believes in.
I had no problem understanding him.

ItsAWindUp · 17-09-2011 05:22PM

Really likeable person.

Solnskaya · 17-09-2011 05:23PM

you either get him or you don't. I like him for what he is, a lot won't because they regard him as a throw back. Personally I like throw backs, and as for the video of pd and coyle offering out anyone who wants a row, thats their world, fighting is a way of life. A lot of people would have fought a lot when younger, I know I did, and until you have faced another man toe to toe surrounded by a crowd who are either trying to kick the legs from under you or shouting you on, you can't really judge. I have fought in front of crowds, some of whom were totally sickened by the blood and gore, others who just watched it as a spectacle, some who called me an animal and ranted and raved at me afterwards. If you come home enough times with your head busted up and your nose off to one side, blood and guts lose their eugh factor. My mam became immune to the sight of me covered in blood, much as she dissaproved. Some lads would spit blood from their busted noses into my eyes to try stop me seeing, so Doherty talking about taking some of his dead sons blood is really no biggie. Its only blood.

To eat pieces of his dead sons still warm flesh is part of his culture and to criticise him would be to discriminate and we just cant do that can we?

I can understand the sentiment. I wouldn't do it, but when he explained the emotional motivation behind it (wanting to have his son with him and in him and all that), it sorta made sense to me. I don't have any issue with it. It's not like he feasted on his son for the gratification of it. I'm sure there are plenty of cultures elsewhere outside the Western World that do similar things.

My Ex used to bite off my hang nails and eat them, of all the names i called her i never thought of calling her a cannibal.
