Lostprophets Singer Suicide Watch

2013-08-15 by andcas | 123 Comments
Ian Watkins has been placed on suicide watch five times an hour as the Lostprophets singer prepares to stand trial on accused charges of raping a baby. A clinical psychologist has suggested he receive anti-psychotic medication and be moved from his current prison cell into a psychiatric hospital.

This course of requested action recently came from his defense attorney during an appearance in a Wales courtroom where the official hearing date has been set for October 14th. The two women who have been implicated in the case also appeared before a judge. The 24-year-old is denying her charges while the 20-year-old admitted to sexually touching and distributing images of one child.

All three are being held in custody without bail until the official trial gets underway.

Yeah I don't listen to them anyway cos I always thought Lostprophets were bobbins and this doesn't exactly help.

"The question is, are these the actions of an innocent man feeling his entire world has collapsed, or a guilty man trying to escape his impending punishment."


That's a fair point (although all signs point to him being guilty). If I was falsely accused of something like this then I would probably be at that point as my life would be completely ruined because of the accusations.

anyways, my point is just that the fact that people who haven't heard of this story yet (there are some of us who don't follow news as closely as others) don't immediately condemn him as guilty just because of this article is actually a promising sign for human intelligence.

Im going to specify that I don't have an opinion on this particular case, but I have noticed that the more "uncomfortable" the crime in question--the quicker people are to immediately assume guilt of the first suspect presented to them.

Don't know anything about that and I don't really care. I'm not saying anything about the case itself, I don't know how many
damn times I have to say it for you to realize it. Don't know anything about it really, don't care honestly, justice will most likely
be served as best as possible and everyone involved or not even involved will move on with their lives. And if justice isn't
served then there's not much we can do about it anyways.

Just pointing out how idiotic this thread's response to critical thinking has been. A point you continue to illustrate.

I'm on you side evilford, Ian is definitely innocent. I'm joking, I'm joking, I was simply relieved to see your answer to:
"Guilty until proven innocent. Why you fucks would be giving the benefit of a doubt to an accused baby rapist is beyond me."
Which was:
By this logic you could pretty much destroy someone's entire reputation and life with a single complete lie, because no one questions it.

I think that judging and condemning (and making untasteful jokes) is also a way of coping with the truth of something horrible and therefore, when hearing a shocking story like that we automatically need to find someone to put the blame on and punish, even if only in our minds, so that it becomes more bearable. In that situation, someone who takes a stand similar to "not so fast" deprives you of a psychological relief and thus exposes you to the crude reality. He/she is thus easily associated with the criminal as psychologically he/she plays a similar role, hence the "Why you fucks." There is no room for a dissident opinion because it is unbearable. And... and... and...

Guess I don't necessarily declare that I know who is guilty upon my first hearing of the case

In the case of the gaza singer, that seems like a situation where the allegations were possibly false, and obviously it wreaks
havoc on the accused's reputation, career and life. Cuz yeah when it's such a fucked up event that people can't even fathom
what happened, they don't want to look bad by being the first person to say "hey maybe we don't know everything about this"

They'll probably take a good amount of time off, AFTER Ian's fate has been determined. Then they'll either continue jamming together, find a new singer, and rename the band; break into smaller projects/other bands; or leave music all together since they have families. I could see Jamie (their keyboardist) joining another band at least.
