What I am getting at is this, he should not have put that photo of him, and Ivan, standing side by side, outside the court room. That, alone, could be taken as reference to his case, and his victim. If May had thought this through he could have eliminated any ambiguity.
Each to their own. I hope May is gone, to be honest. I think he may be.
Exactly right, it was a stupid post which wasn’t clear. The media ran with the worst possible interpretation, which in my opinion, didn’t make much sense.
I think May most likely did not mean to cause offense, however, thinking does not seem to be his thing. Anyway, it seems like the powers to be, may be cutting him loose.
Hi Luke -he had a photo of him and Ivan leaving court during his criminal proceedings with his post at the same time.
He posted a picture of him being supported by his coach whilst he faced the music.
Hi Luke, most folk had a different interpretation. I explained it above. I think your opinion is optimistic, matter for you of course.
That’s because most folk are easily lead by the media.
I'm with Alice on this. I think the current carry on both on social and mainstream media is completely out of proportion to what has transpired, and quite ugly to be honest. However, I do support the NRL sanctioning him with a fairly moderate fine, only because he and/or those close to him should have foreseen the outcome. Our society is brim full of those looking for witches to hunt. Israel Folou has gone quiet, so there is a vacuum, and nature abhors a vacuum.
Or it could have been a reference to his case, and the darkness it brought to his life, and those who stood by him in those times.
@Aliceinwonderland can live with the fairy's as far as I am concerned. Folou is just a bible munching, homophobe, who just preaches hatred.
See I have a bit of a problem with this. If I'm to post soomething derogatory about women, gays, or blacks, I will be castigated and my post will be deleted. And rightly so too. But you are able to post in derogatory language about a religious person, and displaying some hatred of your own as well. You do realise this is why the Government is passing laws in this regard. And I'm not especially religious but I do have sympathy for those who are in our society.
He said “ dirt on my name” he was referring to his detractors.
Normally I do not give a toss about religious views, however, I know of people, who were, and I stated were homosexuals, who are now deceased, through suicide. Homophobes brings out a nasty side in me. Also, he blame those fires on homosexuals. Once he was terminated, he sued, and won.
