Korn Fan Dies

The hospitalized Andy Richardson, who was beaten at a Korn concert for trying to protect his pregnant girlfriend in a mosh pit, died yesterday. Police have only a vague description of the two men, and Korn have yet to release a statement.

This is Korn's chance to alter this sentiment--to change their live atmosphere and to preach something more positive--but somehow I doubt it. If they respond I think it will be a simple offering of the condolences.

The two (I guess we can now call them) murderers, must be flipping their shit. There are three kind of people in this world. The rare group who would feel nothing about this situation, who might even trick themselves into believing their decision was virtuous and that person had to die. It was a moral obligation. You know, the real psychopath types.

Then there are the ones who feel thoroughly guilty. "Holy shit. What have we done? What have we done to that man's
baby who lives inside the belly of his girlfriend?" Real overwhelming sense of dread, to the point where even if you're an atheist, you're like "I have to be going to hell or at least reincarnate as a roach. I will live through World War III as a roach, until there is nothing left but roaches feeding off the radiation-soaked dead." You can't sleep at night, and you start aging more rapidly. Hair starts to gray and fall out. Wrinkles form. The stress and guilt are so overwhelming that all you can do is turn yourself in. The time frame varies slightly for each person.

Lastly, there are the people who are just frightened by getting caught. They worry terribly. They know they fucked up, and the affects are similar to the previous group, except they do not concern themselves with the consequences of their actions for the people they affected, but only the consequences that will wound them. "I can't go to jail, man. I'm just a simpleton who listens to Korn. I can't stand up for myself." But they do. They have to stand up to survive, and they will, until they are reduced to the state of everyone else in that shithole of an institution. I think these two fall into this category. Word.
