Subject: Reply to Mock Jogger from another thread

This is a reply to a post from July. I thought it would be a good idea that I would post this reply in a new thread since the thread it was originally in drifted way off topic.
I think that there are many good discussion points from Mock's post to kick around, I mean, what is a Brian Jones message board without a hearty death discussion, right folks?
The post I'm replying to casn be found here:

Here we go. First of all, I'd like to say it is good to see you back here again Mr. Jogger. You made many good points and I'd like to make some comments and observations on some of them.
I'd also like to add that I'm going on the premise that what the person who commented on Sam Cutler's blog in regards to Louisa Jones, is true, so humor me folks.


"It's highly likely Brian's parents were exposed to pressure after his death. Close relatives and friends of victims of accidents or criminal actions usually want to know EXACTLY what happened and WHO is responsible (or whom they can make responsible)"

Putting myself in Brian's parents shoes, I'd want to know EXACTLY what happened, and who, when, etc. It seems to me that they willingly accepted the misadventure verdict, as it seemed plausible at the time, so perhaps there was no need to lean on them until later on.

"and in case they don't get the support of the authorities they want they go public and display an impressive energy in the process. (I could write down a lot of prominent examples, but I guess nobody would deny this anyway.)"

I'd have to say that it certainly more the case nowadays as opposed to 1969 when there were not as many media outlets for one to vent their outrage at injustices. Look at what Scott Jones did with Brian's story - he got it out there world frickin' wide. Can you imagine how much pressure Sussex could have felt if Brian's family and the media kept pushing at this and keeping Sussex under the world magnifying glass? Granted, I don't think that would have been possible in 1969 for Brian's family to grab ahold of the media and scream injustice, especially if they hadn't realized there was one.
As far as Brian's parents finding out about their son being murdered, I'd guess that realization didn't come to them until well after Brian was buried, possibly years after.


"The way Keylock took control over Brian's possessions and over the funeral was certainly a way to frighten his parents - people who lived a reserved home life and were not used to criminal characters"

If the following picture doesn't illustrate your point Mock, then nothing does.
graveside


Not much to say after seeing that pic. Brian's family is completely surrounded by what most likely, are the people directly responsible for his death. At minimum, I count 5 people who had to have known exactly how Brian died, and I'd go as far to say that probably all 5 of them were there when Brian was killed. Especially Tom Keylock, who I personally believe to be one of Brian's killers.


Here's another funeral pic I'll throw in here

Photobucket

The guy on the left is one of the builders, who can be seen standing behind Barbara and to the right of Frank over the grave in the previous picture. Check out the face on Shirley Watts and others (Astrid Lundstrom can be seen at far right) glaring at this guy, who looks guilty as sin. Why would something like this scene take place if Brian had died accidentally? Are they mad at him for doing shoddy work at Cotchford? Why would Charlie and Bill's ladies be ticked off by someone by someone they most likely never had met and who supposedly wasn't even at the scene of Brian's death? Unless he was.

I'll stop here, hopefully get some feedback for now and in a week or two, I'll reply more to Mock's post in regard to Sam Cutler's blog.
