Heyesey Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 why is everyone so quick to defend these two Because they're innocent? Unless, and until, found guilty in a court of law, they're innocent people. So far there's no sign of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyMafia Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Their plane is due to land at East Midlands airport at 12:20. I think this post sums up better than any other the ridiculous sideshow that is 'the McCanns' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidUser Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Because they're innocent? Unless, and until, found guilty in a court of law, they're innocent people. So far there's no sign of that happening. O.J. Simpson? I'm enjoying them being hoisted by their own petard. They demanded the world stop and look for their child when is suited them, now they plead for privacy. The media is theirs to command when it suits them, now they're in the frame they start spouting about privacy. Well, it won't wash. They've had their part of the deal and now it's time to pay the piper. Finally, they're paying the price for negligent parenting, if it's not much, much worse than that. There are many difficult questions for the McCanns to answer and their bolt back to the UK when the investigation doesn't go the way they like is very telling. It doesn't prove anything but people are entitled to come to their own conclusions based upon the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far there's no sign of that happening. Legally and morally guilty are two different issues,whether they are charged or not they are both morally guilty of at least negligence,to that reason only I cant understand the fervour in which people are defending these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Is anybody else finding this morning's constant coverage of the McCann's every movement really quite appalling? They're tracked by news helicopter in their car to the Portuguese airport, with regular close-ups of their faces; they get on the plane; as soon as they appear again on British soil at the East Midlands airport, their every movement is again followed by a news helicopter. They're currently driving home in their car, being constantly followed and filmed by a helicopter. Now they've reached home - and yes, they're still being filmed. This is beyond harassment, surely? The media is acting like a pack of hungry wolves, closing in on their victims, harrying them at every opportunity. It is such irresponsible behaviour by the media, why do they think they have the right to harass people like this? Aren't there supposed to be laws to protect people? It's total prurience - I'm really quite sickened by it all. StarSparkle I totally agree with you, StarSparkle - I think it's disgusting. Apparently there was even a Sky reporter on board the same flight....and then BBC's Jane Hill was "sort of" condemning the media pack for crowding/following the McCanns to the airport whilst showing the bloody film!

They seem to stick together and close ranks when a parent is suspected of wrong-doing. I've heard many defend the practise of abandoning children while dining out. Contrast the treatment of Murat and the McCanns. Both suspects in the case but people are reluctant to believe the McCanns are guilty as they don't fit the comfortable preconception of a lonely male child abductor.

Rotherhamer Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 addenda to the above post,If this had happened in England,the Mc Canns would now be two people facing charges of negligence,giving the police time to investigate the other main issue thoroughly,they would have already appeared in court and been remanded on bail,or if the police objected,on remand,its whats generally called a holding charge.I have a strong feeling that the pro McCanns thats bleating about their rights would sing a different tune in those circumstances.Child neglgence is a criminal offence in this country and even the staunchest supporter of the McCanns cannot dispute the fact that they are guilty of negligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidUser Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 even the staunchest supporter of the McCanns cannot dispute the fact that they are guilty of negligenceYou're in for a shock. Patents don't harm children, paedophiles do. The News of the World says that's how it is so there! They only left them for a short time while they socialised with other middle class folk, how can that be a crime? Everyone does it, right? You have so much to learn about the world of denial parents live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazbat Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 As someone already said, the McCanns have courted the media when it's suited them; they even managed a quick pose for the cameras as they got in to the car to drive to Faro. If they wanted privacy so badly I would have sneaked to the airport under cover of darkness and in a blacked-out car. If in the fullness of time they are proven to be involved in their daughter's disappearance, the public outcry and subsequent backlash, not least from the media, is going to be off the scale and there will be a very loud thud when they hit the ground. There's something very odd about this whole thing and I'm afraid I've had them down as somehow responsible almost since Day One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
