[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8519003, member: 19675"] I agree that people who have done the punishment assessed them by society need to be reintegrated back into regular society…if they can. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to be able to do whatever it was they were doing before. Besides ongoing legal issues that may be a roadblock, there may also be lingering anger from the fanbase. And the fact that others in that field may not wish to associate with that person anymore. I’m not talking about a lack of forgiveness. I’m talking a lack of trust. Over the past few years, the poster child (for me) has been Tim Lambesis- founding member and lead vocalist of American [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalcore']metalcore[/URL] band [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_I_Lay_Dying_(band)']As I Lay Dying[/URL]. He was arrested in 2013 after attempting to hire a hitman (actually an undercover police officer) to murder his wife, pled guilty in 2014 and was sentenced to serve six years in prison. Lambesis was released on parole in December 2016. Supposedly, he and his wife have somewhat reconciled. He was welcomed back into the band. AILD recorded a new album and were slated to do several concert festivals. ….but other artists- some of whom had been friends with Lambesis for years- didnt want to be on a bill with him, and threatened to walk. Some fans also threatened repercussions. Ultimately, AILD was dropped from several lineups. AILD continues to record & release albums. They still haven’t been welcomed back to all of the tours and festivals they used to play, though. [/QUOTE]
