does Adam want us to trend that now? I really have to get into this twitter stuff, the concert was so much fun because of the twitter fans. Adam is so much fun, so glad I am a fan of his.
Admins: Please!! Notify the authorities & all TPTB to FIND this HORRIBLE INSANE OTT NITWIT & put them behind bars & THROW AWAY the KEY 4 EVER!!! PLEASE!!! NOT COMING BACK HERE until this has been DONE!!!
I think this blog should close down for a few days until this matter has been taken care of. No one should be ALLOWED to make threats like these & have it PRINTED!! If I were in charge of this blog I would monitor & DELETE anything OBJECTIONABLE such as this!!! WHY PRINT IT?? WE don't want to be subjected to such GARBAGE!!
Hi Sister: Good to se that you are back again ... THANX for emailing the Admin but I cannot understand WHY the Admin is posting this?
Thank you Sister. Glad to see you are back. Just wanted to check out this Outlaws of Love song and found this... We need to delete athis hateful mess above, but we need to heed this crazy person's warning, too. There is still a lot of ignorance in the world. Stay safe, dear Adam. There is still a lot of work to do, but I know we are all up for it. We will win this "war" because our weapon of choice is love.
I don't think they review all posts, unless they go to spam and they might be asleep right now. Who knows. This is why this site should go to a sign in process.
I am going to check with a family member who has connections with the FBI and see if he knows of a process for following up on this. If I get any info I will notify Admin directly on how to take action.
In the meantime, if anyone knows how to begin the process of identification and prosecution, please let Admin and the authorities know.
It is those who think they can't be identified or caught are the ones who are.
so what contact the FBI and when they'll discover that it was a prank you'll be charged for providing the FBI false statements !! manage to get your self out of that mess! sistaaaaah
you know what? i don't fucking care do whatever you want !!! if adam lambert is going to die no one is going to change it because he isnt immortal and one day he'll be dead it's his faith !!!
People... It isn't necessary to advocate idiocy by acknowledging it. In this life... You can be revolutionary or redundant. Let's be the former and let those that instigate be the latter.
OMGGGGG ilove that new song and don't worry baby we love you just the way you are :) regarding that hater posting those nasty and disturbing comments i believe that he's just a childish person who should be ignored because by giving him attention and replaying to him we're actually showing him that we do care!! beside i don't care that a person who is planning to commit a crime is actually going to put it on the interneti think he's just tryin' to scare us and get some attention so whoever u are GET A LIFE MORON!!!!!!!
I think we have ignored this particular person long enough and he is hard to ignore, you couldn't ignore him either.Admin will know what to do when they read all this.
Actually from the way he has written those threats i don't believe that he's an american so i don't see a possibility of him committing those things he've said !! so just ignore him and he'll stop posting those dumb comments !!
HMMM Sad_AL, PB, etc. finally flipping out? Seems to be a pattern here. Answering own comments pretending to be someone else, changing tags, harassing posters, professing to be an Adam fan, but always insulting Adam and then trying to cover with professing to buy cds while disliking them. These threats are beyond a prank, but real psychotic behavior. This person has said that comments in the past were also just a prank before the Sad Al tag. This person obviously didn't get the attention or desired response, so off to the ultimate threats. Only this time action must be taken. This person is seriously delusional and sick! Enough is enough. The archives will be a valued resource for all past posts by this person. Whoever killed John Lennon is locked away forever, long forgotten and never got what he craved, just got locked up being ignored for the rest of his miserable days, only being remembered as a pathetic,unimportant,mentally unbalanced creature,doomed to obscurity and silence, not what he was hoping for, a waste of humanity, so sad.
Well, I couldn't sleep so here is what I think. Yes, I thought this could be someone who is trying to get a reaction from us...but I also wondered why? And then I heard the song and read the lyrics. You see, a song like this opens up more doors ( the doors of the close-minded) and that is very scary to some. Adam scares them. Allies of the gay community scare them. We are growing in numbers everyday. We will continue to educate and advocate. Now I can get some sleep. Thank you Adam for your honesty once again. You are a great teacher...and a thank you to the "prankster". You have lit a fire under a lot of people on this site I am sure. Long live the Glamily. May all are children remain safe.
I totally agree with you lmb !! Those comments have sth to do with the song , especially the part where Adam says " They say we'll rot in hell But I don't think we will" that's why he kept threating him and us too with stuff such as burning in Hell or whatever if we keep supporting Gays !! so yeah i believe he is indeed trying to scare or catch a certain reaction from us !!
(cont.)I really believe Sony/19 needs to get their people involved now, along with the FBI. This person has been acting out for months, being called out to no avail, even with requests from the admin. There are mentally ill people that can go on to bigger, sicker things, like small children acting out in a destructive manner when being ignored when not getting their own way. There also is a myth that people intent on committing suicide and are vocal about it never do. That is an old untrue supposition. There are always behavioral clues and patterns to those that perpetrate violence. Domestic violence is a classic example of patterns of the abusers. Too frequently those signs are ignored until it's too late. There is a lack of self control here, over a long period of time. English obviously isn't their first language and time zones can be considered with locations. Enough is enough! Better to be safe than sorry. I've also ignored, but this is seriously demented and sick. People always are sorry after the fact. I'd hate to see anything like that happen here. Deliberately not leaving tag this time or for above 1:53AM post. Admin. will know who I am. @ Jim, While I get what you're saying, respectfully disagree. I don't think it's just a trouble maker,attention seeker. I think they're really sick.
If you all recall, only one person said they actually "hated the song" which may have been triggered by the lyrics if they are fixated on homosexuality. Maybe that set them off. Kind of a strong reaction for a long anticipated song. Not everyone will neccessarily like it,if they prefer Adam's upbeat rock style songs,and that's just a matter of taste but hate is a little harsh. I just see so many questionable things over a long period of time with a definite pattern. Poor Eva and Sanni had been targeted and the concert in Finland was obsessed over because Adam didn't do an encore, or only one song, instead of two. It was brought up several times, accusing Adam of slighting Finnish fans. That's when it all started. With the negativity escalating and individuals then being targeted. I don't remember the date of the Finland concert, but that is a reference point. As a result, we lost some really nice Finnish fans.This has really been going on for a longer time than I originally thought.
The admin(s) need to moderate every comment before they can be posted to the public.There are not so many comments in the threads generally so it'd be possible to do.Sauli's weekend style was one long positive thread but other than that...And this thread takes the cake.
If they can't moderate, then they might as well shut this place down.Imagine Adam reading here.*shudders* I can handle the trolls but this one creep takes things to a whole new level.To some place dark that no normal human can understand.
I pray to God, that He protects Adam that evil will not be done to him. I pray that this tortured person will find peace. He is God's child too, but not having gotten the love he needed to handle rejection and persecution, he does not recognize love when he meets it, as from Adam's message of love through his art. The song is of the pain of love denied from fear and ignorance. This person should be able to relate to it, as he clearly acts as though he is rotting in hell. Adam's response to the ugliness, however, is to reject the notion, that he doesn't think he will. How perfectly nonviolent and innocent a retort to such awful taunt. Adam has bared his soul from the pain of society's rejection because of his sexuality(how else to explain the long and tortuous path of his career?), and through song compels us to understand his life's path so that we learn to be compassionate and accepting of others. I can only hope that Adam's songs and example serve as spiritual teacher and healer that will reach through this person's pain in time to realize that love is more powerful than hate, that grace abounds when hate recedes. atm
That fucking hater hiding behind his computer and writing violent things about Adam can keep on spreading his hate around because no one will give a shit !!! beside Adam has greater things to do than worrying about a psycho !!!!
To the person who is out to kill Adam Lambert: This is what you would accomplish... 1) You would lose all credibility for your point of view. You would make all people who hate people who are gays and lesbians look insane. 2) The act would instantly immortalize Adam Lambert, both his singing and his humanity. 3) You'd have to watch the world embrace Adam Lambert and the love he stands for with full force instantly. We are all brothers and sisters under the same maker. Please think about that for a while. Make a pact to love everyone- no matter what. Your world would be much more bearable and beautiful.
This matter should not be taken lightly, I'm sure there must be away of finding out who this person is. I urge Admin to contact the authorities to deal with this problem. I hope Adam is made aware and has good security measures in place to protect himself.
It's a terrible thing to think Adam's courage in speaking out so openly can incite hatred like this, it only makes me admire him all the more and appreciate him for the artist he is.
May I suggest that people stop posting in this thread.It doesn't deserve anymore attention.I'm sure everybody can find better places to post and show their Adam love ♥ This place has been a mess before but just now it may have run it's course.
RIP 24/7..I agree, the less attention the better at the same time I have a right to express my thoughts and concerns in the same way others have, and at least I was expressing my admiration and support of Adam rather than hatred.
"That fucking hater hiding behind his computer and writing violent things about Adam can keep on spreading his hate around because no one will give a shit !!! beside Adam has greater things to do than worrying about a psycho !!!!" ... and these are the words of a non-violent person who spreads only love around and doesn’t ‘hide behind a computer’... I wonder whether I am a better and more loving person just because I use a tag. Am I?
Aren’t we all blessed... with innocence? Police? FBI? "Checking the internet threats more carefully now, after the Oslo/Norway attacks"? "The archives will be a valued resource for all past posts by this person." THIS person?
The Admin might actually have a life of his/(or more likely)her own, you know? The above comments will be deleted, I'm sure of that. That doesn't mean Adam will be more or less 'safe'. Just means that we are 'safe' from... seeing the threats. I'm sure he gets a lot of 'sweet-talk' on different.. channels.
"This is why this site should go to a sign in process." - That's the only thing that makes sense. But then again, turning the light on won’t kill the monsters, but numb some of our senses in favor of others. Nevertheless, we’ll stay ‘in the light’ and isn’t this the entire point of being a Glambert?...??...
GLb
PSs:
Yeah, let's pray! That will definitely work out! You know, there is one 'glam quote' I love the most: "I don't pray, I trust". I love the absence of 'the object' in that sentence!
Anon. July 31, 2011 5:34 AM, you're right, but it was itching me badly. I had to scratch and I couldn't do that on a more 'well-behaved' thread. Where else but here to play the ape? The Naked [and talking] Ape... You know, I've always thought that 'Planet of the Apes' is actually a docudrama; a re-enactment of... us! Yesterday, today and tomorrow. :-))
Like I have said so many times before, this comment section is very useless. I don´t get it why admin(s) won´t delete this. This forum would be great if people were not allowed to post any comments. As You can see, some of these comments are just too crazy and so OT. delete this comment section and everything will be fine.
Did it trend?? As for the hater he should be in jail for the threats. I know some of my comments have been deleted in the past and I wasn't being mean at all.
Maybe Admin doesn"t work on weekend...why else would this still be up....does anyone have some phone numbers.......admin , internet security....what about GLADD or is it GLAAD
I barely have time to do my laundry so i can't imagine someone WASTING so much time on this senseless hate. Get a real life in the sun not in the dark. Threatening someone in this manner IS a crime and I am sure the FBI has been notified.
what July 30, 2011 11:34 PM said it´s definitely NOT acceptable. I´ll doom that comment and It´s really illegal to say something like that. But, some of the comments to respond to that person are not acceptable either.
"i'm going to fucking murder him and no one is going to stop me" that´s a a serious threat too. that comment too should be deleted. and also all those comments with rude words should be deleted for good. I´ll kind of understand You´re angry to that person who posted the "dead comments", but do not sink to his/her level. that person is obviously sick minded and when You´ll respond to him/her by saying You´re going to kill someone, You look like very sick minded person as well.
I am not defending the first commentator. that one & July 30, 2011 11:39 PM they both said something really bad that I can´t accept at all.
"This forum would be great if people were not allowed to post any comments. As You can see, some of these comments are just too crazy and so OT. delete this comment section and everything will be fine." - the thoughts of a very democratic person, a fighter for equal rights and justice, a true Glambert, no doubt about that! Better yet, Admin should make this blog 'private'!
"Everything will be fine".... I'm sure, as this place is protected by all these Warriors of the Light! Nevertheless, do beware how you handle the 'swords'! You might behead the 'wrong'... ones! Anyway, I guess there'll always be enough ..Berts out there to replace those 'killed' by mistake...
Of all the times to be away from home and computer. :(
I'm confident that when admin becomes aware of this thread and the hateful comments posted here, it will handle things appropriately. They are probably not yet aware of what is happening in this thread.
In the past, RCA has investigated hateful and/or slanderous threats about Adam. No matter where these hateful words came from, they sicken me and break my heart. Adam has had to endure these things for years and to see them written in a blog dedicated to him is just too much to bear. Adam is the epitome of peace and love and respect for diversity. How anyone could spew such venomous hate is a puzzlement,even though we know that some people are blinded by hate themselves and must be miserable creatures indeed.
24/7 is poplated by many open hearts, minds, and souls and I would be deeply saddened to see it discontinued. We should not give in to this hate. I personally will not.
Adam's new song "Warriors of Love" is a beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking song when listened to in light of the hateful things said by whoever it was who said them on this thread above. Please may the hate stop here.
My love to Adam and to those here and elsewhere in the world who love and support him and his message of acceptance and equality for all human beings. Peace and Light.
I meant "Outlaws Of Love" in my post above. I guess I was inadvertently and unconciously referring to myself, as a "Warrior" for Adam and his peaceful message of love, equality, and respect.
To all of you fans : it all started as a Prank with some of my friends because nobody was commenting , but as i can see it turned out to be a bad one , so don't take it seriously because your GOD ADAM isn't in danger of being shot !!! so can u relax now and just forget it !! it guetting kinda annoying !! and i'm truely sorry for the frightening we caused by posting this threats !
Anon 7:23 am, That second threat to kill was NOT a response to the person threatening to kill Adam. It was that same person threatening to also kill one of us. Read the comment that followed the second threat. The person admitted as such.
This is not a funny prank, even if it started out as one. The authorities should do what they can to identify this person. Who in the world would think this was funny or acceptable? If 8:19 really started this, just saying sorry isn't enough. DRG
Yes!!!!!! who ever did this threat you know that you are very sick person and you need help. For you @ 8:19 you need to help your friend and notify his/her family about this. You know in your heart this is not a joke.... He/she is very sick and needs help!!!
i do really know my friend and i don't think that she needs help !! she is a normal person!! she just tought that threating you of killing Adam would be funny as hell because we already what would be your responses!! i've already said sorry not because of authorities or whatever but if u still want to go with it just do it because honestly we don't care!!! it's not like we're going to jail ( not 18 yet haha)
@anon July31 Where is your sense of decency? Don't you know that our LGBTQ children live in fear of getting hurt, beat up, shot at etc. EVERYDAY. The other day I had to remove a sticker that just said "Closets are for Clothes" from our family car because when our son was out for a job interview a carload of imbeciles honked and yelled out hateful words? This hate is real, and when you say "your GOD ADAM" it indicates to me that you have some real underlining problems and fears. Children kill themselves over cyber bullying like yours. You have threatened lives on this site and thought that would be funny? Please get some professional help.
This site should have people to login to leave comments!? Otherwise, RCA might force it to shut down. Admin should design it so people can login with their fb, twitter, yahoo, aol, etc. profile names. To threaten some one's life isn't a prank to me. It's not funny. It's a serious thing.
Let's try to ignore this person until his comments are deleted &/0r reported..That may be the best thing.Let's go back to voting for Adam for sexiest man( url under "Enchanted,or magic,Forest"thread)I kept on voting this morning after seeing those awful posts.The other place(most important) to vote is @ the"Do Something" awards @ VH-1.The AIOTM for July ends tonight @ 12 midnight CT..sometimes voting doesn't start right away after that time.All of Adam's true fans shouldn't lose the ability to post here,even if that means registering & logging in.@ least that way,adminis.can trace a e-mail address if need be..I'm gonna vote.
No matter what the motivation might have been for the "Hate Speak" expressed on this thread, whether it be a "Prank" or otherwise, there is no excuse imaginable that can explain or justify the horrible thoughts and words directed at Adam Lambert here. Not funny, and frightening beyond words. I hope the authors will think about the pain, anger,and terror that those words of hate directed at Adam have caused. An apology is not anywhere near enough. I hope we will never hear those sick thoughts expressed here again. Ever.
The death threats have been reported blogger and possibly the police for investigation if it persists. Blogger will find a way to do something about the person who posted those threatening messages.
Those messsages have been deleted but they have been saved for other purposes.
Sorry for the trouble this has caused. We will be more alert from now on.
I have reported this to blogger and the authorities. Just because this is a public forum doesn't mean you can post hate speech and death threats. Blogger take these issues very seriously. I hope for Adam's sake the FBI and others will be involved. The person who posted those messages really sounded disturbing.
I am very sorry that this has happened on the blog. I will be leaving this matter to Blogger to solve.
death threats on the internet from a minor = PERMANENT RECORD. And they have to spend time with psychiatrist or something. I remember a few years ago, there was this boy from high school posted a lot of death threats to a friend on facebook and he got sent to some sort of psychiatrist and prisons for juveniles for a couple of months.
The internet is serious business people. Don't take it for granted.
From what information I have been able to find death threats verbally, written or otherwise are considered a felony. In Florida punishment can be up to 6 years in prison and $10,000 in fines, but can vary depending on location.
I received a reply from the person I contacted and the response was that the police need to be contacted and copies of the posts saved. (I think ethically this is the responsiblity of 24/7 to report to the police and hold copies of the posts.) Reporting to the police will start the ball rolling. I made a copy of all the posts last night up to July 31st, 1:10am. Admin, if you didnt, I can send it to you as an email attachment.
To the kids who claim this as a prank and say you are under 18 years old and can't go to prison. Just know that children under 18 are sometimes tried as adults.
A better day to all and, hopefully, swift resolution.
Thank you Admin! That was pretty disturbing, I was at work, .& this crap just gave me the creeps all night long. & I was sad for Adam, I just don't get what he did so wrong to get this kind of attraction. Why Adam? He just wants to sing to his Outlaw Glamberts of Love! Beautiful song too !!! Mwah!! K
Back to the subject at hand ... last night and into the wee hours, I along with hundreds, maybe thousands of fans were tweeting #OutlawsOfLove to no avail. We were trying to trend it hours before Adam suggested it. Some thought the hastag was keeping it from trending but the #1 Tweet was and STILL is: #reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend. It's a sad world we live in. All the more reason to feel safe in my world of Adam Lambert and Glamberts.
Glad this trouble is being looked at by authorities. Now, for lighter stuff: We can vote for Adam for the Sexiest man on 94.1 against David Cook. VOTE! I know some of us don't like polls, but let's win this for Adam. DRG
.. or Could Admin just delete the copied part of my previous comment written at July 31, 2011 9:29 AM. i was just so angry when I saw her comment and wanted to say what I was thinking of it.
@Admin. Thankyou for taking this seriously and above all, saving these comments for for the authorities. This person may or may not be a juvenile. In either case it does not excuse the violent threats and saying it all is a prank is not acceptable. Murder is not only committed by those over 18 and is not a security blanket from being prosecuted. There is accountability in life for our actions, no matter what the age. This person has an affinity for trying to change their identity. At this point the teenage persona and prank excuse to me is just another story and just as believeable. It makes no difference to me. A hate crime is a hate crime period. A threat to cause bodily harm or murder is just that and all should be held accountable. As I stated in my earlier comments,July 31,1:53,2:27,2:53,3:07 without my usual tag,funbunn40,this has been going on since the Finland concert, Nov.6,2010.(Thankyou for the date, anon4:21AM)I don't consider this a prank, but actions of a very disturbed individual, who needs to be identified and held accountable. I also disagree with shutting down this site and giving this sick individual that power. The perpetrater is who should be removed because of their actions. Just deleting a comment isn't enough. They will go elsewhere and continue to spread their sick remarks and very well be sick enough to carry out their threats. At this point,we're past deleting and ignoring. I know I could not risk anything happening to Adam or anyone threatened with murder. Not long ago a teenage girl killed herself because of cyber bullying with the offenders mother a part of it! That's insanity! I know I couldn't live with myself if a life was snuffed out or someone was hurt because I turned a blind eye. We do have to look out for one another and not accept this sick, unwarranted hatred. I know I've gone on much too long, but I never have been silent when someone is in jeopardy and I never will, if I have any power to prevent it.It just makes me all the more determined to fight for the ones being victimized and not to accept persecution of gays or anyone. @4:57, You offered prayers for the offender. That's a good thing and those that contribute in that way should. It's done in a loving spirit and with a good heart. Mai, Glitzylady and others also had important things to say. I think we all agrre this has not been acceptable and must stop. The admin. has taken appropriate steps and I'm grateful that this isn't being swept under the rug. Again, my apologies for going on so long. Love to all of you, funbunn40
Well said Folks and thank you @ sister that u saved the threat comments so that we have proof.
Especially they are only kids that needs supervision. They think they just gonna get away easily especially they have mentioned that they are under age!!!! You made a big mistake eventhough you are kids or whatever it's still a crime indeed!!!!
@admin Hope you made a copy of this thread before deleting those comments. Kept it as evidence for authorities to look into.
For the idiot person leaving all those horrible comments, I have a news for you, cloud networking is the next phase of internet technology and for people like you it'll be very difficult to hide behind your computer and write threatening comments even if it is for fun (sick). Lives have been lost daily because of people like you "JUST FOR FUN" threaten others on internet. So you better get some help cause if you continue with these type of comments there will be serious consequences and your life will be ruined for ever. Open your mind before it's too late.
I love Outlaws of Love, and in regards to the issue here, don't worry they can and will be found. I have reported this incident and they can track it...prank or not it is illegal to threaten and bully, guess the poster didn't get the memo...all is well in Adamland...stay cool
@funbunn40 Thank you! Pure and simply, Thank you! This should be a happy and exciting day but on 24/7 a lunatic takes over and ruins the joy. So sad! Stop the ignoring and scrolling! Deal with the crazy!
I am a late arrival, thank God, I missed all the ugliness. What kind of human is eaten up with hate or spite or just plain meaness? I don't want to know what was said, I assume it was quite disturbing and disgusting...Sad World!..JAK
@July 31, 2011 7:51 AM Well, I don't know, my fellow ..Bert. The uninspired choice of words maybe? "This FORUM would be great if people were NOT ALLOWED to post ANY COMMENTS". (I know, I know, who am I to talk about word choices, right?) I looked into some English dictionaries to see if they give the same explanations as those in my own language for the word 'forum'.... Guess what? They do! Would you check it out please? Not to say that, usually, the comment sections of the blogs are among the most important of their features.
And anyway, without this section, where else could the 'good' tags and anonyms be offensive to some (arbitrarily called) trolls, 'bad' tags and anonyms, and then praise themselves for their righteousness? I guess it's very comforting to have people supporting you while you say 'go fuck yourself' to whomever, isn't it? I guess it's all good as long as the targeted people are the 'right ones'... Apart from the obvious (like the ‘deleted one’ here), how do you separate the ‘rights’ from the ‘wrongs’ AND be absolutely certain about it?
Btw, another one of my 'life principles' is as follows: If someone speaks wrong about one or more of his/her enemies/acquaintances/friends/loved ones, I have no reason to believe that I (as his/her enemy/acquaintance/friend/lover) will be 'spared' in the future... Can you see my point here? That’s my path to... ‘taking things personally’...
And there it goes, my Sunday... of playing with (the glamed) thorns!
TO MODS: saw the threat copied on another site. sorry no time to read all comments rn. the FBI handles hate crimes and prevention of them. according to their site the posts constitute a direct threat of a hate crime on Adam's life by a group. the 4 steps for reporting it are listed at the link below under the heading "Report Hate Crime/Discrimination"
So, 24/7, did you put 'filters' here or put me on a 'black list'? Just asking 'cause my comment vanished after I posted. I must say, in the last case, my life will be simplified! I'll be happy either way. :-)GLb

PS: Now, let's listen to this new song... July 31, 2011 4:16 PM ******************************
I missed this too. Thank goodness. From what's still here it's obvious this person (and his or her "friend" LOL) is a very disturbed individual. It's a shame they've focused their attention on Adam - but it could be anyone who attracts their sick obsession. I hope they can trace the IP address and track this twerp down before they do harm to someone - if they can't reach Adam someone else might be targetted. A prank? - I don't think so. And neither will the authorities. Sounds to me like someone's panicking and so they should. This stuff is taken very seriously these days (whether you're 8 or 80 years old).
GLb- comments are usually sent to a spam box on blogger. My comments disappear frequently but they appear back in a few hours. Check back in a few hours and I'm sure your comment will be posted. It happens a lot with Blogger.
@Funnbunn40- Very well said! I totally agree with you. Those sick comments were the first thing I woke up to this morning and I was like WTF? I would go as far as to say I don't even believe they are under 18- anyway- thanks 24/7 for dealing with this matter and everyone else that got involved. I know there are strict laws here in U.S for this stuff, but I'm wondering if they are from another country, do they have the same kind-of laws. I hope they or whomever that person is gets caught real soon. Also, will we be informed of this or is this matter over? O.K. on to watching adams videos for the millionth time, had enough stress today.
brownie, I doubt it was an under age person either. It was someone that frequents here and I think they may have just posted again a few comments up. Admin has it under control so I am not worried.
Thank you for posting the FBI link. I have sent them an email with the copy of the death threats from this thread attached. Hopefully, this will be addressed by them in a timely fashion.
I want to say again how disturbing this was today. I am so glad the authorities were notified of this. Threats of that nature should always be taken seriously. Never ignored. I am also so sorry that this blog, which was obviously begun as a labor of love and acceptance for Adam Lambert could today become an inadvertent place of fear and hate. I support and so appreciate the Administrators of this blog, who have been the wonderful source of the latest Adam Lambert information for me for well over a year. It must be extremely painful to them as well. Thank you so much for doing the good job you do.
I was out of town (back home now..), visiting friends and family on a couple of semi-isolated (and beautiful) Islands in WA state, and often even out of cell/internet range for the last two days, and was notified by one of the good people here that this was happening. I was horrified to read the hateful comments here, and was relieved to see that the authorities have been contacted, the comments were copied before being deleted, and the comments deleted afterwards.
We fans of Adam are a very dedicated and protective "family" who love Adam not only because he is immensely talented, with this beautiful voice that is so wonderfully showcased here in this new song, but because he has a kind, loving, gentle, generous soul and does not deserve the hateful things said today, for any reason, and we will do what we can to help keep him safe from harm. Those who say things like that here are hereby warned that true hate and threats against him will obviously not be tolerated here on this blog and they should expect to be deleted or in the worst case (for the perpetrators), reported. And may Adam continue his journey safely, with joy and love..
@Sister Thank you for helping to alert the proper authorities, and alerting Admin initially. I too have some connections to State and Federal authorities. May anyone trying this kind of hideous "Prank", as they called it, again be warned. I spoke with one of those connections this evening about what happened here, and that person agreed this was a serious matter and not to be ignored or taken lightly.
Could I really have stayed away for long from all the wonderful, crazy, fun people here on 24/7!?! :)
I learned about the Bystander Effect a number of years back and vowed to never just be an inactive bystander, assuming that someone else would take action when action was necessary.
The Bystander Effect, for those who may not be familiar, is an interesting phenonmenon that happens when there is a group of people, who are bystanders witnessing an event, but they do nothing, because they assume someone else will. It has been shown that when there is only one person or just a couple of people, that someone tends to jump in and take action. But when there is a larger group of bystanders, helping action is less likely to happen. There is a "diffusion of responsibility".
One case that initially coined the Bystander Effect is the 1964 brutal murder of Catherine Genovese, outside of her apartment in NYC. There were a number onlookers who were aware of the violence taking place and yet, no one took action as they watched her be brutally murdered. After 20 minutes one person finally called the police.
I believe that we are all part of a global community and need to step in take action to help, support and protect each other. And I think most all of us here on 24/7 would be willing to do just that.
There were others here - daydreamin, a couple of Anons, and Admin who responded through action. Thanks to each of you for actively being part of the solution.
I take kids out for the whole day, miss out all that terrible act. In Canada, we have law reinforcement deal with online criminals and most of them are traced and received their punishment. Sometimes their faces and identity are also published in the local news for the public awareness of their act!
People who lurk children/others or possess illegal photo or make threat against one particular group online. When those get arrest by police, it is shown on local TV taken from their home. People who finish their prison term and about to release and determined as an highly repeat offender, their name and whereabout are published for public to aware. I know how many sex offenders are living in my region. One time I even got warning letter from my kids' school to alert parent about someone spying on kids in my area. Anon 1:52am

I would say 11"34 comment needs to be deleted! What a jerk.
does Adam want us to trend that now? I really have to get into this twitter stuff, the concert was so much fun because of the twitter fans. Adam is so much fun, so glad I am a fan of his.
I think admin needs to notify RCA and the police here. This is way over the line.
Can idiots be arrested for death threats on the internet?
Why on earth Admin isn't deleting the lunatic's comments? I think also that this would be a police-matter.
Admins: Please!! Notify the authorities & all TPTB to FIND this HORRIBLE INSANE OTT NITWIT & put them behind bars & THROW AWAY the KEY 4 EVER!!! PLEASE!!! NOT COMING BACK HERE until this has been DONE!!!
Anon 12:13 Agree with you! Maybe there aro no Admin because its night in USA?
I just send Admin an email.
Sister
thank you Sister,please send a hundred more if they don't act within reason.
I think this blog should close down for a few days until this matter has been taken care of. No one should be ALLOWED to make threats like these & have it PRINTED!! If I were in charge of this blog I would monitor & DELETE anything OBJECTIONABLE such as this!!! WHY PRINT IT?? WE don't want to be subjected to such GARBAGE!!
Hi Sister: Good to se that you are back again ... THANX for emailing the Admin but I cannot understand WHY the Admin is posting this?
tess4ADAM
Thank you Sister. Glad to see you are back. Just wanted to check out this Outlaws of Love song and found this... We need to delete athis hateful mess above, but we need to heed this crazy person's warning, too. There is still a lot of ignorance in the world. Stay safe, dear Adam. There is still a lot of work to do, but I know we are all up for it. We will win this "war" because our weapon of choice is love.
lmb
Hi tess4ADAM
I don't think they review all posts, unless they go to spam and they might be asleep right now. Who knows. This is why this site should go to a sign in process.
I am going to check with a family member who has connections with the FBI and see if he knows of a process for following up on this. If I get any info I will notify Admin directly on how to take action.
In the meantime, if anyone knows how to begin the process of identification and prosecution, please let Admin and the authorities know.
It is those who think they can't be identified or caught are the ones who are.
Sister
Hi lmb!
Sister
Too late for calling it a prank.
Sister
This person with so much HATE is pathetic!!!
don't waste any energy or give this idiot any attention!
good night all
Love To Adam!!!
so what contact the FBI and when they'll discover that it was a prank you'll be charged for providing the FBI false statements !! manage to get your self out of that mess! sistaaaaah
B.S.this cannot be dropped. These were real threats and need to be treated that way, it's not our call.
Thanks Sister. I also emailed Admin.
On to better things...pic of Sauli@concert:

you know what? i don't fucking care do whatever you want !!! if adam lambert is going to die no one is going to change it because he isnt immortal and one day he'll be dead it's his faith !!!
Thanks, @daydreamin. I have expended enough energy on this myself. I trust it will be "taken care of".
Thanks for the links!
Sister
and don't forget to tell the FBI to act quickly because the crime is coming soon!!!
Anything & everything is public!
Thank goodness ur here @Sister!! Mwah!! K
People... It isn't necessary to advocate idiocy by acknowledging it. In this life... You can be revolutionary or redundant. Let's be the former and let those that instigate be the latter.
OMGGGGG ilove that new song and don't worry baby we love you just the way you are :)
regarding that hater posting those nasty and disturbing comments i believe that he's just a childish person who should be ignored because by giving him attention and replaying to him we're actually showing him that we do care!! beside i don't care that a person who is planning to commit a crime is actually going to put it on the interneti think he's just tryin' to scare us and get some attention so whoever u are GET A LIFE MORON!!!!!!!
Doesn't anyone check these comments to see what hateful, horrible things are posted here?
Suzy Q.
Btw... Why are you saying faith instead of fate? If you're going to threaten somebody intelligent... Do it intelligently.
I really don't think so Suzy. Sad but true...
I think we have ignored this particular person long enough and he is hard to ignore, you couldn't ignore him either.Admin will know what to do when they read all this.
Actually from the way he has written those threats i don't believe that he's an american so i don't see a possibility of him committing those things he've said !! so just ignore him and he'll stop posting those dumb comments !!
HMMM Sad_AL, PB, etc. finally flipping out? Seems to be a pattern here. Answering own comments pretending to be someone else, changing tags, harassing posters, professing to be an Adam fan, but always insulting Adam and then trying to cover with professing to buy cds while disliking them. These threats are beyond a prank, but real psychotic behavior. This person has said that comments in the past were also just a prank before the Sad Al tag. This person obviously didn't get the attention or desired response, so off to the ultimate threats. Only this time action must be taken. This person is seriously delusional and sick! Enough is enough. The archives will be a valued resource for all past posts by this person. Whoever killed John Lennon is locked away forever, long forgotten and never got what he craved, just got locked up being ignored for the rest of his miserable days, only being remembered as a pathetic,unimportant,mentally unbalanced creature,doomed to obscurity and silence, not what he was hoping for, a waste of humanity, so sad.
Isn'n police in almost every country checking the internet threats more carefully now, after the Oslo/Norway attacks? Hope so.
Well, I couldn't sleep so here is what I think. Yes, I thought this could be someone who is trying to get a reaction from us...but I also wondered why? And then I heard the song and read the lyrics. You see, a song like this opens up more doors ( the doors of the close-minded) and that is very scary to some. Adam scares them. Allies of the gay community scare them. We are growing in numbers everyday. We will continue to educate and advocate. Now I can get some sleep. Thank you Adam for your honesty once again. You are a great teacher...and a thank you to the "prankster". You have lit a fire under a lot of people on this site I am sure. Long live the Glamily. May all are children remain safe.
lmb
Sligo lambert ^_____^ cute:
11:34 and 11:53 and 12:40 the seem person jerk crazy idiotrk crazy idiot
I totally agree with you lmb !! Those comments have sth to do with the song , especially the part where Adam says " They say we'll rot in hell
But I don't think we will"
that's why he kept threating him and us too with stuff such as burning in Hell or whatever if we keep supporting Gays !! so yeah i believe he is indeed trying to scare or catch a certain reaction from us !!
Sligo lambet ^____^ cute
11:34 are faggot hahahah
Oops I means "all OUR children.
Sleepy!

Sligo lambert ^_____^cute:
11:34 dont talk trash guy. And get the hell out of here e hell out of here
(cont.)I really believe Sony/19 needs to get their people involved now, along with the FBI. This person has been acting out for months, being called out to no avail, even with requests from the admin. There are mentally ill people that can go on to bigger, sicker things, like small children acting out in a destructive manner when being ignored when not getting their own way. There also is a myth that people intent on committing suicide and are vocal about it never do. That is an old untrue supposition. There are always behavioral clues and patterns to those that perpetrate violence. Domestic violence is a classic example of patterns of the abusers. Too frequently those signs are ignored until it's too late. There is a lack of self control here, over a long period of time. English obviously isn't their first language and time zones can be considered with locations. Enough is enough! Better to be safe than sorry. I've also ignored, but this is seriously demented and sick. People always are sorry after the fact. I'd hate to see anything like that happen here. Deliberately not leaving tag this time or for above 1:53AM post. Admin. will know who I am. @ Jim, While I get what you're saying, respectfully disagree. I don't think it's just a trouble maker,attention seeker. I think they're really sick.
If you all recall, only one person said they actually "hated the song" which may have been triggered by the lyrics if they are fixated on homosexuality. Maybe that set them off. Kind of a strong reaction for a long anticipated song. Not everyone will neccessarily like it,if they prefer Adam's upbeat rock style songs,and that's just a matter of taste but hate is a little harsh. I just see so many questionable things over a long period of time with a definite pattern. Poor Eva and Sanni had been targeted and the concert in Finland was obsessed over because Adam didn't do an encore, or only one song, instead of two. It was brought up several times, accusing Adam of slighting Finnish fans. That's when it all started. With the negativity escalating and individuals then being targeted. I don't remember the date of the Finland concert, but that is a reference point. As a result, we lost some really nice Finnish fans.This has really been going on for a longer time than I originally thought.
I think all of the posts since the Finland concert should be evaluated by a forensic psychiatrist. I'm done for now, but not through.
@Sister,
Thank you. This should not be allowed.
To that hater, what a nullity you are
The concert in Helsinki/Finland was held on the 6th of November 2010. It was the same night Adam and Sauli met for the first time.
The admin(s) need to moderate every comment before they can be posted to the public.There are not so many comments in the threads generally so it'd be possible to do.Sauli's weekend style was one long positive thread but other than that...And this thread takes the cake.
If they can't moderate, then they might as well shut this place down.Imagine Adam reading here.*shudders* I can handle the trolls but this one creep takes things to a whole new level.To some place dark that no normal human can understand.
Admin, get to work or shut the place down.
I pray to God, that He protects Adam that evil will not be done to him. I pray that this tortured person will find peace. He is God's child too, but not having gotten the love he needed to handle rejection and persecution, he does not recognize love when he meets it, as from Adam's message of love through his art. The song is of the pain of love denied from fear and ignorance. This person should be able to relate to it, as he clearly acts as though he is rotting in hell. Adam's response to the ugliness, however, is to reject the notion, that he doesn't think he will. How perfectly nonviolent and innocent a retort to such awful taunt.
Adam has bared his soul from the pain of society's rejection because of his sexuality(how else to explain the long and tortuous path of his career?), and through song compels us to understand his life's path so that we learn to be compassionate and accepting of others. I can only hope that Adam's songs and example serve as spiritual teacher and healer that will reach through this person's pain in time to realize that love is more powerful than hate, that grace abounds when hate recedes. atm
Anon 4:36 AM
I agree with you. This forum should be shut if the moderation does not work. This is not a fan forum anymore.
That fucking hater hiding behind his computer and writing violent things about Adam can keep on spreading his hate around because no one will give a shit !!! beside Adam has greater things to do than worrying about a psycho !!!!
To the person who is out to kill Adam Lambert:
This is what you would accomplish...
1) You would lose all credibility for your point of view. You would make all people who hate people who are gays and lesbians look insane.
2) The act would instantly immortalize Adam Lambert, both his singing and his humanity.
3) You'd have to watch the world embrace Adam Lambert and the love he stands for with full force instantly.
We are all brothers and sisters under the same maker. Please think about that for a while. Make a pact to love everyone- no matter what. Your world would be much more bearable and beautiful.
This matter should not be taken lightly, I'm sure there must be away of finding out who this person is. I urge Admin to contact the authorities to deal with this problem. I hope Adam is made aware and has good security measures in place to protect himself.
It's a terrible thing to think Adam's courage in speaking out so openly can incite hatred like this, it only makes me admire him all the more and appreciate him for the artist he is.
Mai.
May I suggest that people stop posting in this thread.It doesn't deserve anymore attention.I'm sure everybody can find better places to post and show their Adam love ♥ This place has been a mess before but just now it may have run it's course.
RIP 24/7.
RIP 24/7..I agree, the less attention the better at the same time I have a right to express my thoughts and concerns in the same way others have, and at least I was expressing my admiration and support of Adam rather than hatred.
Mai.
"That fucking hater hiding behind his computer and writing violent things about Adam can keep on spreading his hate around because no one will give a shit !!! beside Adam has greater things to do than worrying about a psycho !!!!" ... and these are the words of a non-violent person who spreads only love around and doesn’t ‘hide behind a computer’... I wonder whether I am a better and more loving person just because I use a tag. Am I?
Aren’t we all blessed... with innocence? Police? FBI? "Checking the internet threats more carefully now, after the Oslo/Norway attacks"? "The archives will be a valued resource for all past posts by this person." THIS person?
The Admin might actually have a life of his/(or more likely)her own, you know? The above comments will be deleted, I'm sure of that. That doesn't mean Adam will be more or less 'safe'. Just means that we are 'safe' from... seeing the threats. I'm sure he gets a lot of 'sweet-talk' on different.. channels.
"This is why this site should go to a sign in process." - That's the only thing that makes sense. But then again, turning the light on won’t kill the monsters, but numb some of our senses in favor of others. Nevertheless, we’ll stay ‘in the light’ and isn’t this the entire point of being a Glambert?...??...
GLb
PSs:
Yeah, let's pray! That will definitely work out!
You know, there is one 'glam quote' I love the most: "I don't pray, I trust". I love the absence of 'the object' in that sentence!
Anon. July 31, 2011 5:34 AM, you're right, but it was itching me badly. I had to scratch and I couldn't do that on a more 'well-behaved' thread. Where else but here to play the ape? The Naked [and talking] Ape... You know, I've always thought that 'Planet of the Apes' is actually a docudrama; a re-enactment of... us! Yesterday, today and tomorrow. :-))
Hey hater, a "prank" threat is still a very serious crime!! Enough said.
Like I have said so many times before, this comment section is very useless. I don´t get it why admin(s) won´t delete this.
This forum would be great if people were not allowed to post any comments.
As You can see, some of these comments are just too crazy and so OT.
delete this comment section and everything will be fine.
Did it trend?? As for the hater he should be in jail for the threats. I know some of my comments have been deleted in the past and I wasn't being mean at all.
Maybe Admin doesn"t work on weekend...why else would this still be up....does anyone have some phone numbers.......admin , internet security....what about GLADD or is it GLAAD
TMZ
I don't see this tweet on Adam's twitter....WTH is going on.......????
BTW...nice pic!!!
I barely have time to do my laundry so i can't imagine someone WASTING so much time on this senseless hate. Get a real life in the sun not in the dark. Threatening someone in this manner IS a crime and I am sure the FBI has been notified.
@ sister don't leave us again ok????? I hope this person will be caught A.S.A.P.
what July 30, 2011 11:34 PM said it´s definitely NOT acceptable. I´ll doom that comment and It´s really illegal to say something like that.
But, some of the comments to respond to that person are not acceptable either.
"i'm going to fucking murder him and no one is going to stop me" that´s a a serious threat too. that comment too should be deleted.
and also all those comments with rude words should be deleted for good.
I´ll kind of understand You´re angry to that person who posted the "dead comments", but do not sink to his/her level. that person is obviously sick minded and when You´ll respond to him/her by saying You´re going to kill someone, You look like very sick minded person as well.
I am not defending the first commentator. that one & July 30, 2011 11:39 PM they both said something really bad that I can´t accept at all.
"This forum would be great if people were not allowed to post any comments. As You can see, some of these comments are just too crazy and so OT. delete this comment section and everything will be fine."
- the thoughts of a very democratic person, a fighter for equal rights and justice, a true Glambert, no doubt about that!
Better yet, Admin should make this blog 'private'!
"Everything will be fine".... I'm sure, as this place is protected by all these Warriors of the Light! Nevertheless, do beware how you handle the 'swords'! You might behead the 'wrong'... ones! Anyway, I guess there'll always be enough ..Berts out there to replace those 'killed' by mistake...
:-) GLb
Something wrong with the -July 31, 2011 6:31 AM-´s comment, GLB?
Of all the times to be away from home and computer. :(
I'm confident that when admin becomes aware of this thread and the hateful comments posted here, it will handle things appropriately. They are probably not yet aware of what is happening in this thread.
In the past, RCA has investigated hateful and/or slanderous threats about Adam. No matter where these hateful words came from, they sicken me and break my heart. Adam has had to endure these things for years and to see them written in a blog dedicated to him is just too much to bear. Adam is the epitome of peace and love and respect for diversity. How anyone could spew such venomous hate is a puzzlement,even though we know that some people are blinded by hate themselves and must be miserable creatures indeed.
24/7 is poplated by many open hearts, minds, and souls and I would be deeply saddened to see it discontinued. We should not give in to this hate. I personally will not.
Adam's new song "Warriors of Love" is a beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking song when listened to in light of the hateful things said by whoever it was who said them on this thread above. Please may the hate stop here.
My love to Adam and to those here and elsewhere in the world who love and support him and his message of acceptance and equality for all human beings. Peace and Light.
Where's the video?
I meant "Outlaws Of Love" in my post above. I guess I was inadvertently and unconciously referring to myself, as a "Warrior" for Adam and his peaceful message of love, equality, and respect.
To all of you fans : it all started as a Prank with some of my friends because nobody was commenting , but as i can see it turned out to be a bad one , so don't take it seriously because your GOD ADAM isn't in danger of being shot !!! so can u relax now and just forget it !! it guetting kinda annoying !! and i'm truely sorry for the frightening we caused by posting this threats !
Anon 7:23 am,
That second threat to kill was NOT a response to the person threatening to kill Adam. It was that same person threatening to also kill one of us. Read the comment that followed the second threat. The person admitted as such.
This is not a funny prank, even if it started out as one. The authorities should do what they can to identify this person. Who in the world would think this was funny or acceptable? If 8:19 really started this, just saying sorry isn't enough.
DRG
Yes!!!!!! who ever did this threat you know that you are very sick person and you need help. For you @ 8:19 you need to help your friend and notify his/her family about this. You know in your heart this is not a joke.... He/she is very sick and needs help!!!
i do really know my friend and i don't think that she needs help !! she is a normal person!! she just tought that threating you of killing Adam would be funny as hell because we already what would be your responses!! i've already said sorry not because of authorities or whatever but if u still want to go with it just do it because honestly we don't care!!! it's not like we're going to jail ( not 18 yet haha)
I so agree with You July 31, 2011 8:52 AM & July 31, 2011 9:07 AM.
These kind of threats can not be classified as a prank.
something must be done..
@anon July31 Where is your sense of decency? Don't you know that our LGBTQ children live in fear of getting hurt, beat up, shot at etc. EVERYDAY. The other day I had to remove a sticker that just said "Closets are for Clothes" from our family car because when our son was out for a job interview a carload of imbeciles honked and yelled out hateful words? This hate is real, and when you say "your GOD ADAM" it indicates to me that you have some real underlining problems and fears. Children kill themselves over cyber bullying like yours. You have threatened lives on this site and thought that would be funny? Please get some professional help.
lmb
This site should have people to login to leave comments!? Otherwise, RCA might force it to shut down. Admin should design it so people can login with their fb, twitter, yahoo, aol, etc. profile names. To threaten some one's life isn't a prank to me. It's not funny. It's a serious thing.
Let's try to ignore this person until his comments are deleted &/0r reported..That may be the best thing.Let's go back to voting for Adam for sexiest man( url under "Enchanted,or magic,Forest"thread)I kept on voting this morning after seeing those awful posts.The other place(most important) to vote is @ the"Do Something" awards @ VH-1.The AIOTM for July ends tonight @ 12 midnight CT..sometimes voting doesn't start right away after that time.All of Adam's true fans shouldn't lose the ability to post here,even if that means registering & logging in.@ least that way,adminis.can trace a e-mail address if need be..I'm gonna vote.
No matter what the motivation might have been for the "Hate Speak" expressed on this thread, whether it be a "Prank" or otherwise, there is no excuse imaginable that can explain or justify the horrible thoughts and words directed at Adam Lambert here. Not funny, and frightening beyond words. I hope the authors will think about the pain, anger,and terror that those words of hate directed at Adam have caused. An apology is not anywhere near enough. I hope we will never hear those sick thoughts expressed here again. Ever.
ADMIN POST:
The death threats have been reported blogger and possibly the police for investigation if it persists. Blogger will find a way to do something about the person who posted those threatening messages.
Those messsages have been deleted but they have been saved for other purposes.
Sorry for the trouble this has caused. We will be more alert from now on.
It's now 9:56 here in California. Why haven't these ignorant comments been deleted????
Someone emailed me and asked me not to delete those comments because she may be reporting those comments to the police.
Should I delete those comments or just put it there for evidence? Any comment will be appreciated.
I have reported this to blogger and the authorities. Just because this is a public forum doesn't mean you can post hate speech and death threats. Blogger take these issues very seriously. I hope for Adam's sake the FBI and others will be involved. The person who posted those messages really sounded disturbing.
I am very sorry that this has happened on the blog. I will be leaving this matter to Blogger to solve.
Admin, I heard that death threats on the internet are taken very seriously so I'm sure the FBI and police will be involved.
Thanks for taking care of this mess even though it's on a Sunday morning.
Fuck! Guess I missed a shit storm!
Thank you admin!!!
July 31, 2011 4:50 AM << That comment should also be deleted.
death threats on the internet from a minor = PERMANENT RECORD. And they have to spend time with psychiatrist or something. I remember a few years ago, there was this boy from high school posted a lot of death threats to a friend on facebook and he got sent to some sort of psychiatrist and prisons for juveniles for a couple of months.
The internet is serious business people. Don't take it for granted.
@Admin
From what information I have been able to find death threats verbally, written or otherwise are considered a felony. In Florida punishment can be up to 6 years in prison and $10,000 in fines, but can vary depending on location.
I received a reply from the person I contacted and the response was that the police need to be contacted and copies of the posts saved. (I think ethically this is the responsiblity of 24/7 to report to the police and hold copies of the posts.) Reporting to the police will start the ball rolling. I made a copy of all the posts last night up to July 31st, 1:10am. Admin, if you didnt, I can send it to you as an email attachment.
To the kids who claim this as a prank and say you are under 18 years old and can't go to prison. Just know that children under 18 are sometimes tried as adults.
A better day to all and, hopefully, swift resolution.
Sister
admin: would you look at comments 12:55, 12:59, 1:01, 8:19, 916 and consider deleting also. thanks!!
It's important that action is taken. Hopefully media will follow it. We need warning examples in order to get internet cleaned.
Thank you Admin! That was pretty disturbing, I was at work, .& this crap just gave me the creeps all night long. & I was sad for Adam, I just don't get what he did so wrong to get this kind of attraction. Why Adam? He just wants to sing to his Outlaw Glamberts of Love! Beautiful song too !!! Mwah!! K
Back to the subject at hand ... last night and into the wee hours, I along with hundreds, maybe thousands of fans were tweeting #OutlawsOfLove to no avail. We were trying to trend it hours before Adam suggested it. Some thought the hastag was keeping it from trending but the #1 Tweet was and STILL is: #reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend. It's a sad world we live in. All the more reason to feel safe in my world of Adam Lambert and Glamberts.
Glad this trouble is being looked at by authorities. Now, for lighter stuff: We can vote for Adam for the Sexiest man on 94.1 against David Cook. VOTE! I know some of us don't like polls, but let's win this for Adam.
DRG
I hope ´m NOT in trouble because I copied July 31, 2011 9:16 AM ´s comment!
I wanted to tell that it´s not normal to say something like that! maybe my comment should too be deleted just in case.
Don't forget to vote for The Vh1 Do Something awards. Adam deserves this one for sure!!!
Thanks admin for deleting those post!!
.. or Could Admin just delete the copied part of my previous comment written at July 31, 2011 9:29 AM.
i was just so angry when I saw her comment and wanted to say what I was thinking of it.
@Admin. Thankyou for taking this seriously and above all, saving these comments for for the authorities. This person may or may not be a juvenile. In either case it does not excuse the violent threats and saying it all is a prank is not acceptable. Murder is not only committed by those over 18 and is not a security blanket from being prosecuted. There is accountability in life for our actions, no matter what the age. This person has an affinity for trying to change their identity. At this point the teenage persona and prank excuse to me is just another story and just as believeable. It makes no difference to me. A hate crime is a hate crime period. A threat to cause bodily harm or murder is just that and all should be held accountable. As I stated in my earlier comments,July 31,1:53,2:27,2:53,3:07 without my usual tag,funbunn40,this has been going on since the Finland concert, Nov.6,2010.(Thankyou for the date, anon4:21AM)I don't consider this a prank, but actions of a very disturbed individual, who needs to be identified and held accountable. I also disagree with shutting down this site and giving this sick individual that power. The perpetrater is who should be removed because of their actions. Just deleting a comment isn't enough. They will go elsewhere and continue to spread their sick remarks and very well be sick enough to carry out their threats. At this point,we're past deleting and ignoring. I know I could not risk anything happening to Adam or anyone threatened with murder. Not long ago a teenage girl killed herself because of cyber bullying with the offenders mother a part of it! That's insanity! I know I couldn't live with myself if a life was snuffed out or someone was hurt because I turned a blind eye. We do have to look out for one another and not accept this sick, unwarranted hatred. I know I've gone on much too long, but I never have been silent when someone is in jeopardy and I never will, if I have any power to prevent it.It just makes me all the more determined to fight for the ones being victimized and not to accept persecution of gays or anyone. @4:57, You offered prayers for the offender. That's a good thing and those that contribute in that way should. It's done in a loving spirit and with a good heart. Mai, Glitzylady and others also had important things to say. I think we all agrre this has not been acceptable and must stop. The admin. has taken appropriate steps and I'm grateful that this isn't being swept under the rug. Again, my apologies for going on so long. Love to all of you, funbunn40
Well said Folks and thank you @ sister that u saved the threat comments so that we have proof.
Especially they are only kids that needs supervision. They think they just gonna get away easily especially they have mentioned that they are under age!!!! You made a big mistake eventhough you are kids or whatever it's still a crime indeed!!!!
By threating someones life is not a prank!!!!!
I hope who ever did this, learn their lesson for not coming back here...
I meant thretening!!!!
@ administrator, Again, please save all info for authorities. Thankyou funbunn40
Sligo lambert ^_____^ cute:
thank you admin i love you blog ^_^ my favs adam
@admin Hope you made a copy of this thread before deleting those comments. Kept it as evidence for authorities to look into.
For the idiot person leaving all those horrible comments, I have a news for you, cloud networking is the next phase of internet technology and for people like you it'll be very difficult to hide behind your computer and write threatening comments even if it is for fun (sick). Lives have been lost daily because of people like you "JUST FOR FUN" threaten others on internet. So you better get some help cause if you continue with these type of comments there will be serious consequences and your life will be ruined for ever. Open your mind before it's too late.
I love Outlaws of Love, and in regards to the issue here, don't worry they can and will be found. I have reported this incident and they can track it...prank or not it is illegal to threaten and bully, guess the poster didn't get the memo...all is well in Adamland...stay cool
@funbunn40
Thank you! Pure and simply, Thank you!
This should be a happy and exciting day but on 24/7 a lunatic takes over and ruins the joy. So sad! Stop the ignoring and scrolling! Deal with the crazy!

I am a late arrival, thank God, I missed all the ugliness. What kind of human is eaten up with hate or spite or just plain meaness? I don't want to know what was said, I assume it was quite disturbing and disgusting...Sad World!..JAK

Well, I don't know, my fellow ..Bert. The uninspired choice of words maybe?
"This FORUM would be great if people were NOT ALLOWED to post ANY COMMENTS". (I know, I know, who am I to talk about word choices, right?) I looked into some English dictionaries to see if they give the same explanations as those in my own language for the word 'forum'.... Guess what? They do! Would you check it out please? Not to say that, usually, the comment sections of the blogs are among the most important of their features.
And anyway, without this section, where else could the 'good' tags and anonyms be offensive to some (arbitrarily called) trolls, 'bad' tags and anonyms, and then praise themselves for their righteousness? I guess it's very comforting to have people supporting you while you say 'go fuck yourself' to whomever, isn't it? I guess it's all good as long as the targeted people are the 'right ones'... Apart from the obvious (like the ‘deleted one’ here), how do you separate the ‘rights’ from the ‘wrongs’ AND be absolutely certain about it?
Btw, another one of my 'life principles' is as follows: If someone speaks wrong about one or more of his/her enemies/acquaintances/friends/loved ones, I have no reason to believe that I (as his/her enemy/acquaintance/friend/lover) will be 'spared' in the future... Can you see my point here? That’s my path to... ‘taking things personally’...
And there it goes, my Sunday... of playing with (the glamed) thorns!

PS: Now, let's listen to this new song...
TO MODS: saw the threat copied on another site. sorry no time to read all comments rn. the FBI handles hate crimes and prevention of them. according to their site the posts constitute a direct threat of a hate crime on Adam's life by a group. the 4 steps for reporting it are listed at the link below under the heading "Report Hate Crime/Discrimination"
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/hate_crimes
Moderator, where the heck were you? Appalled by the stuff that was on this site! 24/7 should be moderated 24/7. Thankyou for removing the filth!
So, 24/7, did you put 'filters' here or put me on a 'black list'? Just asking 'cause my comment vanished after I posted. I must say, in the last case, my life will be simplified! I'll be happy either way.
:-)GLb
I guess not. Let's try again...

OH, how I do love quoting myself! :-))
I missed this too. Thank goodness. From what's still here it's obvious this person (and his or her "friend" LOL) is a very disturbed individual. It's a shame they've focused their attention on Adam - but it could be anyone who attracts their sick obsession. I hope they can trace the IP address and track this twerp down before they do harm to someone - if they can't reach Adam someone else might be targetted. A prank? - I don't think so. And neither will the authorities. Sounds to me like someone's panicking and so they should. This stuff is taken very seriously these days (whether you're 8 or 80 years old).
Adam's management has been notified. Death threats are NEVER a "just a prank".
@JAK
it was extremely disturbing and disgusting, and very upsetting. I'm glad you didn't see it.
To all the fans please we need to be vigilant in every way especially when someones life is in danger.
Family or friends trying to say these horrible things and making threats are not acceptable!!!!
Love and Peace to you all!!!!
I couldn't imagine that someone will try to do something to Adam like what happened to John Lennon.
It's sickening to my stomach and I hope these kids will realize how much pain they will cost for just saying these horrible evil words indeed!!!!
GLb- comments are usually sent to a spam box on blogger. My comments disappear frequently but they appear back in a few hours. Check back in a few hours and I'm sure your comment will be posted. It happens a lot with Blogger.
@Funnbunn40- Very well said! I totally agree with you. Those sick comments were the first thing I woke up to this morning and I was like WTF? I would go as far as to say I don't even believe they are under 18- anyway- thanks 24/7 for dealing with this matter and everyone else that got involved. I know there are strict laws here in U.S for this stuff, but I'm wondering if they are from another country, do they have the same kind-of laws. I hope they or whomever that person is gets caught real soon. Also, will we be informed of this or is this matter over? O.K. on to watching adams videos for the millionth time, had enough stress today.
brownie
I so hope adam didn't get wind of any of this today!
brownie, I doubt it was an under age person either. It was someone that frequents here and I think they may have just posted again a few comments up. Admin has it under control so I am not worried.
@July 31, 2011 4:17 PM
Thank you for posting the FBI link. I have sent them an email with the copy of the death threats from this thread attached. Hopefully, this will be addressed by them in a timely fashion.
Sister
@9:16 AM you may be in for a big surprise. A serious crime was committed on this blog & it has been reported to law enforcement.
Kentucky Fan
@ GLB at 4:16
There are several people posting...and you saw 3 from the same person, the Sanni hater has joined the conversation! Ms. do away with comments!
I want to say again how disturbing this was today. I am so glad the authorities were notified of this. Threats of that nature should always be taken seriously. Never ignored. I am also so sorry that this blog, which was obviously begun as a labor of love and acceptance for Adam Lambert could today become an inadvertent place of fear and hate. I support and so appreciate the Administrators of this blog, who have been the wonderful source of the latest Adam Lambert information for me for well over a year. It must be extremely painful to them as well. Thank you so much for doing the good job you do.
I was out of town (back home now..), visiting friends and family on a couple of semi-isolated (and beautiful) Islands in WA state, and often even out of cell/internet range for the last two days, and was notified by one of the good people here that this was happening. I was horrified to read the hateful comments here, and was relieved to see that the authorities have been contacted, the comments were copied before being deleted, and the comments deleted afterwards.
We fans of Adam are a very dedicated and protective "family" who love Adam not only because he is immensely talented, with this beautiful voice that is so wonderfully showcased here in this new song, but because he has a kind, loving, gentle, generous soul and does not deserve the hateful things said today, for any reason, and we will do what we can to help keep him safe from harm. Those who say things like that here are hereby warned that true hate and threats against him will obviously not be tolerated here on this blog and they should expect to be deleted or in the worst case (for the perpetrators), reported. And may Adam continue his journey safely, with joy and love..
@Sister
Thank you for helping to alert the proper authorities, and alerting Admin initially. I too have some connections to State and Federal authorities. May anyone trying this kind of hideous "Prank", as they called it, again be warned. I spoke with one of those connections this evening about what happened here, and that person agreed this was a serious matter and not to be ignored or taken lightly.
Please stay here with us. Glad to see you back.
@Glitzylady
Could I really have stayed away for long from all the wonderful, crazy, fun people here on 24/7!?! :)
I learned about the Bystander Effect a number of years back and vowed to never just be an inactive bystander, assuming that someone else would take action when action was necessary.
The Bystander Effect, for those who may not be familiar, is an interesting phenonmenon that happens when there is a group of people, who are bystanders witnessing an event, but they do nothing, because they assume someone else will. It has been shown that when there is only one person or just a couple of people, that someone tends to jump in and take action. But when there is a larger group of bystanders, helping action is less likely to happen. There is a "diffusion of responsibility".
One case that initially coined the Bystander Effect is the 1964 brutal murder of Catherine Genovese, outside of her apartment in NYC. There were a number onlookers who were aware of the violence taking place and yet, no one took action as they watched her be brutally murdered. After 20 minutes one person finally called the police.
I believe that we are all part of a global community and need to step in take action to help, support and protect each other. And I think most all of us here on 24/7 would be willing to do just that.
There were others here - daydreamin, a couple of Anons, and Admin who responded through action. Thanks to each of you for actively being part of the solution.
Sister
I take kids out for the whole day, miss out all that terrible act. In Canada, we have law reinforcement deal with online criminals and most of them are traced and received their punishment. Sometimes their faces and identity are also published in the local news for the public awareness of their act!
Anon 1:52 Really, that's interesting! I mean that they are sometimes publishing faces and indentity of online criminals.

i know this is serious,but in the...we just keep on loving Our living star:
the one and only:
ADAM LAMBERT!
Yay!!!
People who lurk children/others or possess illegal photo or make threat against one particular group online. When those get arrest by police, it is shown on local TV taken from their home. People who finish their prison term and about to release and determined as an highly repeat offender, their name and whereabout are published for public to aware. I know how many sex offenders are living in my region. One time I even got warning letter from my kids' school to alert parent about someone spying on kids in my area.
