background: - he's lived in paris most of his life and is 65 now - he's an absent father to me - i always found him quite cool on my yearly visits to him his politics, tastes in music, artistic persuits and general outlook. So out of the blue i get this email: ******* "....I have spent a couple of days in the hands of the police for something bad I did 12 years ago. I cannot move from Paris until the trial. It could be jailed for quite sometimes that means that might die in. Don’t be surprised if you and your sister are questioned. No matter what is going to happen be sure that also I have been an absent father I never did anything wrong with any of you. I love you. Carry on been a good chap and be nice to your mother Don’t ask me questions. We can always keep in touch by E-mail. If you happen to be in Paris within the next few weeks let’s hope we shall be able to see each other." ****** This is the biggest WTF?!! ever. All sort of shit is going through my head: - rape, murder, sexual abuse (given the "i never did anything wrong to any of you" statement), robbery, assault. He's a passive guy and was a concientious objector in the french/algerian war in the '50's for which he was imprisoned for 6 months. He did aikido for years and was a gentle old soul. He has always been quite poor though. 12 years ago i was 18 and nearly conscripted to the french army as i was born there. At the time my father was questioned as he should have registered me but didn't. I suspect theres a connection but can't see what it is. Shit... i'll have to fly over soon to visit him. This is MAD! |

Woah! Wierd, Wild. |

wow, maybe he beat up some bad guy? (stressing that he didnt do anything bad to you..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, that "I never did anything wrong with any of you" is rather a unusual comment to make. nice that he doesn't want you to ask questions. if I were you, I'd still ask questions - it's not very fair to dump this on you lke this. |
||||||||

"Don’t ask me questions." How reassuring. Now even I wont be able to get any sleep tonight. |

Your dad sounds nice. I'm sure it's just tax evasion or something. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
cor blimey! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it could ofcourse very well be that he doesn't want questions asked because he might be afraid the police is monitoring his communications and he could worsen the situation for himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess he can answer his questions after the hearings.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt they'd let him go if it was something that serious..i hope it works out for him/you! |

Wow that's one hell of a head-fuck. Hope you're not too messed up as a result. I was thinking the exact same as yourself and then qrter as i read "I never did anything wrong with any of you".. And i'd agree with qrter too in that he should allow you to find out what the fuck is going on and why.. Hope everything works out alright. |

yep its a weird one.... i reckon its something like tax evasion alright. I'm wondering would he take to jail ... he mentioned it would kill him.... maybe "he" would kill him, given the choice of that or facing incarseration. I don't know him that well actually outside of the odd email and anual visits. It could be anything. (I posted here cos it's a whacky story - he likes autechre and squarepusher, if that helps) |

fucking A! and i thought my dad was cool for getting me into st germain and digging dj shadow and drukQs (he has a bit of a problem with the pusha though) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha way to make the story on-topic in this music forum. 'my dad may be going to jail, i have to come to terms with knowing that he may have a criminal lifestyle....btw he likes ae and sqp' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is all very curious. I hope you find out some more info. |
||||||||
|

|

hey, i was the first one reading close enough to spot that remark (and saying why he may have said that (the hearings) poohoo) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i'm so sorry please accept my apology : |

'I have been an absent father I never did anything wrong with any of you.' Sounds more like the sort of thing you WOULD say to your kids if you were an absent father facing some time in prison. It doesn't necessarily have to relate directly to the reason for his being arrested/charged. He might just be trying to reach out to you and be nice, despite having been absent. I've heard that the police are particularly harsh in France (compared to over here at least). It could be any number of things that don't amount up to something nearly as bad as rape, murder, sexual abuse, robbery, assault, etc. That's just my irrelevant opinion, anyway. It might perhaps be a bit dodgey having posted his email in this thread. Could it adversely affect his case in some way, do you think? Just some thoughts. Regardless, I hope that it all turns out alright mate. Best wishes and all that. |

Man that is really quite freaky. :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.. freaky but entertaining. :p I'll ring my sister and ma later and see what they have to say about it... i'm sure they don't know yet. Bloody hell. |
||||||||

I thought he meant he would be in prison long enough that he would die of old age. Dunno. This isn't really that big of a deal if you compare it to the whole thread closing fiasco here on the internet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if he's in prison that long.. 10/20 years..(he's healthy as fook).. then it ain't tax-evasion. He better spill the beans .... laying this shit on me. On a positive note, if he does got to jail, his apartment in paris is rent controlled and could possibly me taken over my yours truly.... ooh la la! |

Congratulations, if it is serious and they check your internet traffic you have just posted an admission of guilt from your father. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure he meant I never did anything to hurt you. But probably had to write the e-mail quickly because the rozzers were at hte door or something. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wow |

I just realised my message could sound kind of heartless. I didn't meant it to. |
||||||||

|
|
That really is fucked up, I hope you'll get an answer to all your questions soon. |
||||||||
|
|

You're right though. His english isn't spot on it would seem so don't read anything into the specific wording. |

Maybe somekind of politically motivated terrorism? |

|

ah now the irish of all people aren't well known for that, i mean.. well ... ehh... wait a second.. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

if the history is real, then it could be some of the most interesting things seen in XLT in a while. Someone has broke the silence finally, justice must be done. I'll follow this closely up to every detail. Fav+ |

"Maybe somekind of politically motivated terrorism?" "Funnily" enough, my wayward pa-pa got himself involved in the cunting IRA cocksuckers in the 70's around the time he met my mother. He ended up minding a safe-house for them in the middle of Ireland. He did all this cos he was involved in anti-establishment stuff in france, moved to london met some irish and came over. They heard that he had been in the algerian war and wanted him to shoot somebody in Northern Ireland but he refused and ended up driving a get-away car as the IRA sprung one of their captured big-boys from hospital. He maintains that it got a bit heavy for him and gradually disassociated himself from them, realising that partying with my young ma was a much better idea! He went back to france in 74. He's always told me that he felt he was definitely known to British authorities and is sure his apartment had been searched a few times over the years... like when a British dignatory was visiting France. As far as i was concerend it was all history and not something that could come back and bite him isn his french ass. He describes it all as a sort of misspent middle-age and is adamant that he didn't get involved too deep. Since then he';s more or less lived in Paris writing, becoming a psychotherapist (i know!) and generally being fairly poor and a bit of a stoner. I should write a friggin book! No reply to my emails to him this morning. I'll be talking to my aunt (mothers side) about it today as she works for the cops here and is very worldly wise. I ain't told my sis or ma yet but they're generally niot in contact with my dad as much as i am. Its surreally exciting innit? Injust hope he ain't hurt anyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd imagine that'd be it then.. sorry to hear that. i really do hope he's not in for a rough ride. |
