Quiet Cats, a HUGE R.E.M. fan and Murmurs stalwart is rotting in jail and hardly anyone seems to give a shit.

Im fucking disgusted at the lack of compassion and support shown to a moderator of 10 years standing, a member with over 3000 posts, a FAN, one of US.

I hear plenty of bleating and do gooding when it comes to Oxfam and Amnesty Inernational on here, but not a fucking word when it comes to helping our own.

Can someone point me in the direction of organising an online petition. Can someone post the address of the prison so we can bombard it with gifts and letters of support. Can someone help me with setting up a facebook?

Does Ethan know of this, can REMHQ kick in some bucks for an appeal? Can we make this world news and get aome action?

I cant do it on my own. If it was *** sitting in the slammer for the same thing, protecting one of his children, you would all be frothing at the mouth with rage. Theres no fucking difference, we are a faamily or we aint.

The media will help if we ask.

So I ask you all to put in one giant effort, for friendships sake and make a difference.

Um... What???  Think you need to work a little on your appeal for charity - perhaps by explaining what is going on rather than ranting and raging at people who haven't got a clue what you are talking about.  Let's start with a measured approach which sets out the facts and then let's go from there.  I think it is presumptious in the least to think that REMHQ will want to contribute to an unknown cause, and as for getting it onto the world's news - good luck.  I'm not passing judgement.  As I have intimated, I haven't got a clue what you're talking about.  But maybe everyone else here does - in which case, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Robbbin - I'm with you with the concern. Per my post in the other thread, I may like to help. I'm aghast.

Though, if we're able to keep it to the one post, we may be able to coordinate our thoughts better.

What?!! I had no idea. Let us know what we can do to help.

Error:
That petition is closed and is not accepting signatures.

Is there any other online petition we could sign ?

If not, we could create one.

The moderator approval thing has been annoying in this instance as it has looked as though there was a lack of original response. I thought people didn't care much either at first--but of course they do--the replies were all stuck, waiting for apperoval. I think that has maybe been lifted now, as my last comment went straight there.

Robbbinn, Julia was also a Facebook friend of several people from this forum. Several people have sent their support through there as well.

Does anyone know how to? I guess it's not too hard. I'm being kept busy replying and sending out addresses, so if anyone would like to go ahead I'm sure Julia and tim would be delighted.

The only real way I can see myself getting over this terrible news is by vociferously reading http://www.edgaralle...y.wordpress.com
I'm really not sure if there's anything else I can do.

Maybe we don't like being spammed.

While I don't know this person, I'm willing to help.  Keep me posted.

Ronja, Julia is back home with her family now. I'm not sure how the appeal process is going on - but I hope that they see sense and overturn it. Nobody deserves to have  a mark next to their name for trying to protect their child. I have had the pleasure of meeting Julia at gigs - she is a wonderful person with a bif heart. She would quite literally giver her the shirt off her back if you were in need.  One of my favourite people here.

She sounds like a great person from what I have read here.
