LAMB OF GOD Fan Petitions White House To Help Secure RANDY BLYTHE's Freedom - July 6, 2012
A LAMB OF GOD fan from Brandenburg, Kentucky created a petition in an online forum on the White House web site to ease the process of petitioning the government to help the band's frontman, Randy Blythe, who is facing manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic. As of this morning, more than 300 people had signed the petition.

Blythe, 41, is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer allegedly either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel N. — a guitarist in a local metal group — and that person died almost a month later of bleeding in the brain.

Randy has been charged with causing "bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan" and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Blythe remains in detention at Pankrác Prison in Prague even after the band's manager posted 4 million Czech Koruna bail (approximately $200,000) on Tuesday. But the bail system in the Czech Republic is not as rapid as in the U.S.

Although bail has been posted, the decision to release the singer is still subject to appeal and so it will take some time for the state prosecutor's office to give approval.

the White House has a petition section on their site. you can start one for pretty much anything and, if it gets enough sigs, some staffer will start looking into it.

Rachel Maddow did a story on some coal company lobbyist putting up 4,000 phony sigs for some "let us pollute" petition. The beginning of the story had a screen cap of the WH petition page, and there was the LoG petition right on Page 1.

This situation is pissing me off.

Typical. Any other guy could rot, but since he is a metal guy let's disrespect the foreign countrys laws, and apply your own to bust him out. What part of "he is being held in a foreign country" don't you get? Every country has its laws and you should obey those, not your own.


He is indeed being wrongfully acused and should be released as soon as possible but that's no reason to ignore czech laws and aply usa ones. You don't own the fucking world. You wish you did but you don't so let the process roll.


Question: if a foreign is caught in the usa would you let him out based on that foreign country's laws, or would you apply your own? Thought so.


So stop acting like there's no other way but your way. Stop acting so self righteous. You have way worse cases of injustice in you system, fuckheads.

I am not sure where you are coming from. He posted the bail and they are still holding him. If the prosecuter had the right to object to the bail, why not do it before they accepted the $200,000. Something here does not appear kosher and people want to bring attention to it. Is your suggestion the man sits in a jail cel for the next month before anyone says something?

I would not think the justice department would look to get involved yet, but if this extends another week or so you would likely see some form of action.

This is not a republican vs democrat thing. A US citizen is being held for a crime in a foreign country. if they continue to do so in an unjust fashion something will be done, just dont expect it would reach the level of the president

..actually think that Obama is gonna be concerned? As if Obama doesn't have enough real issues to deal with, like say, the economy.
I bet his reaction to the petition was like this:
"Lamb of God? is that a church? Who's Randy Blythe? A reverend? What is he doing in Czech Republic if he's a reverend in America? OH, its a metal band.........Secretary, throw this away, please!"

Seriously, not saying I don't care about Randy, the situation is pretty shitty, but I'm pretty sure the president doesn't even know who the fuck he is, or could care less as he has enough on his plate as it is.

Yeah because he's been so good at dealing with the real problems in the last four years; he's taken more vacations than any other US president, worries about getting camera time with Jay-Z and Beyonce, finally manned up on his gay marriage stance (again, how does this help this country?) and wanted to make sure he got camera time on the whole Travyon Martin shooting...yeah he's done a real number on fixing the economy

Awful situation all around, but facts are facts.

1) He is in a foreign country and privy to their laws and legal practices. End of Story! When you go abroad and check in with the State Department, they make it blatantly clear that if you violate a law in a foreign country, the US will make no attempt to alleviate your situation. (Look it up)

2) Yes, he posted the bail money, but isn't free. In the Czech Republic, posting the bail money is a good faith effort to show your cooperation and further your legal proceedings. If you read up on this subject, he's still being held so the court can re-evaluate his case and examine the particulars before they release him, and its taking time because the Czech government is currently on a federal holiday. In America, we do the same thing, but in our case, the defendant in question is evaluated before bail is posted. Seems backwards in the Czech Republic, but hey, that is what you deal with when you leave the US. And yeah, our courts are closed for federal holidays too. (Refer back to #1)

3) The White House won't do anything, period. As someone else stated, this is not a political issue, or a heavy metal singer being ignored issue. He's not a political prisoner or being detained under any illegal circumstances. Yes, this is entirely unfortunate for all parties involved, but please refer back to point #1 and do some reading up on the subject.

Again, yes this sucks, but unfortunately things in other countries don't work the same as in the USA. When you enter a foreign country and are suspected of breaking the law, you are prone to their punishments.

Why would the US even get involved with this until after the trial(if it goes bad). Right now he's an accused murderer who is supposed to be getting a fair trial. It has nothing to do with Obama's music preference. Geeez!!

I wrote a whole post then watched the attached video. According to the report he has been released on bail.

And money aside, the whole story seems fishy. O. The dude jumps on the stage 3 times and goes at the singer, and 3 times the singer, stage hand, or security gets him off the stage. It's not like they punched him in the head then lifted him up and threw him off the stage.
