Yes, it's that time

Yes, it’s that time.


As I read over the blogs today, I realized that a lot of what another blog has posted is very true. When is the gay community going to stand together and support one another? Regardless of what you think of Harlow and Joe and their innocent or guilt, when is the community going to stand together and unite as one? In this case it will never happen it does not seem.

I live in an area where there has been racial riots, demonstrations and flat out war against the police or the city council (or any other branch of government they thought would listen). Regardless of what the person was accused of and regardless of what the evidence proved, they stood together and fought.

One case was over a drug dealer shot to death and the person that shot him was approached by the police and they said they wanted to talk to him and immediately an area of 50 blocks was shut down. The swat team was called, all off duty officers for this City called in to work. Shot were fired at people driving by, bricks where thrown at car driving down the road unaware of what was happening. Now some details get a little crazy over this case because once the police announced the area was shut down, the people started breaking into each others homes and vehicles. Well actually that was a lot crazy, not sure how vandalizing each other would help prove a point, but none the less it happened. This situation was finally controlled by the police and law and order was restored to the neighborhood… Some time later that person was convicted in a court of law.

Not that I think we as a group need to form any riot or violent demonstration. The point was the entire community stood together and fought for what they thought was right and to show the entire area that they were not afraid to fight against the government. In some ways they have accomplished a lot of major mile stones in what they have done.

I guess the concept of pulling together and truly uniting cannot exist in the gay community. It seems with the gay community that everyone only wants to believe what they believe and screw every one else. This applies not only to Harlow and Joe, but also applies to a lot of other major topics in the gay world.

Regardless of innocent or guilt of Harlow and Joe, is there any reason people could not support the cause to ensure they receive a fair trial? Of course we have a few that will scream they can receive a fair trial with the public defender. Of course one would never hope these people never need the services of a public defender. I have no doubts that there are some qualified public defenders that are more than qualified to handle a case like this, but we have to remember the case load and how willing they are to actually work for the defense. With the dealing I have had with public defenders, they seem to be over worked and under paid and may not be the best of the best in terms of the time and dedication they should have for a case like this.

Now that the PA DA has announced he will seek the death penalty, it’s almost better for Harlow and Joe. When one looks at the track record of convictions in the death penalty, chances are slim to none they will obtain the conviction they want. The DA has just stepped up the work load of whoever will prosecute this case. In a purely circumstantial case this is going to be hard to obtain a conviction, not to mention Harlow still claims he is innocent. Not to mention the DA now will probably not be the one to prosecute this case. So I have to wonder if he actually announced the death penalty for political reason or has he found the “smoking gun” evidence to obtain the conviction he wants. I'm leaning more towards the political reasons, got to prove to the community he is tough on crime.

People still want to scream that the State has already presented enough evidence to convict them and I still don’t see how so many can make so many bold statements like that. I have read over the Arrest Affidavit time and time again thinking I may have missed something, I have done the same with the recent magazine articles that have been published thinking I missed something that proves Sean and Grant have been exonerated in this case. It’s funny that so many are willing to take the word or Sean and Grant as the God’s honest truth and then bend over backwards to prove all Harlow and Joe can do is lie to “save their life”.

When I review the articles I have read nothing good about Sean or Grant in either article. Did the reporter make these details up? Now the funny thing is when you read the articles the only bad thing about Harlow and Joe was the attitude and anger of Joe. Not one other bad thing was published about them and for some reason people want to believe the worst of the worst of them.

We have people that have spun and twisted every single detail of this case to try to prove the point they are trying to make. The sad part about this is I still don’t understand what they are trying to prove. They want to scream Harlow and Joe are guilty, but the many have not done anything to prove what they have to say. We read one post recently that was trying to equate everything that has happened into some mathematical nightmare. How this case converts to anything mathematical, I will never understand.

The post of the past keep coming back to memory today, mostly the sad state of affairs comes to mind time and time again. The entire situation with Harlow and Joe has become a sad state of affairs because of some posters trying to prove they know everything about this case and the more they post, the more they prove to know nothing at all. The un-unified community support is one of the worst of the worst state of affairs. Now we have people trying to claim the support team for Harlow is operating a scam. What in God’s name is wrong with people? There are some awesome people helping Harlow and to even think they are trying to scam the community is beyond belief.

Then we have people that are trying to inject themselves in this case for some reason. This I will never understand. Why would anyone want to be involved in a murder case? Oh yeah they want the fame and glory of being the first to report on this case. These people claim to be supporting Harlow and still speak against Harlow any chance they get. This is something I will never understand.

We even have people posting and making comments because I have talked to Harlow and that my thoughts have been altered because of talking to him. People just have no concept of me supporting a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. We have never once talked about the case, not once. I’m not sure what people think we talk about when we do talk every so often, but it has never been about the details of the case. Then people want to claim that my opinions are altered. Once again a prime example of people talking about something they have no clue about.

My opinions of the case come from the evidence presented by the State so far. The State just stepped up the case and has stepped up the evidence needed. The State at some point and time will have to start pointing fingers and proving beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury they are right in what they have assumed to be the truth. Oh yeah, some want to claim the State has Justin to testify. That’s the end all of Harlow. How stupid of me to forget. I forget, who did Justin say killed Bryan? Oh yeah that’s right no one. As people scream about Justin, I ask once again when the last time he lived with Harlow and Joe was. Of course no one has taken the time to find out. They just want to scream he is the answer to the conviction the State is seeking. One has to wonder where Justin actually got his information from.

Tomorrow Harlow and Joe should appear for the arraignment. I think we all know the outcome of what will happen tomorrow.
Judge: How do you plead? Not guilty says Harlow and Joe.

Of course some I’m sure some will have many new details of what takes place tomorrow. It should make for some interesting reading to say the least.

Harlow and Joe you are in my thoughts and prayers.
