Guest Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 If this is the video people were talking about, here it is: https://www.facebook.com/GreenDayLIVEonTour/videos/773517896957438 I think Billie was very reasonable in this post. He obviously does not want anyone getting harmed or going to prison over a car. Thought it was nice that he even offered to bail the thief out of jail LOL. Of course things can still go off the rails whenever police are involved, but it is obvious that he just wants the car back and doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone. Hopefully this works out.

It more likely means he was self conscious about how he looked.

Beerjeezus Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The problem with promises like this is of course you would say you don’t want them to face charges when you’re trying to talk them into turning themselves in. 11 minutes ago, pacejunkie punk said: Probably not.

I get that people don’t want to be mean, but all those memes feel quite inappropriate. He’s obviously quite upset, it’s clearly not a good time for those 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but it made me a bit uncomfortable. I really hope it’s not the reason though, and that there will be good news soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Lot Lizard Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 People can be so rude and dumb. This isn’t surprising. Ignorant and can’t think of anything better to do? They should use their energy on something more worthwhile. On the other side, I’m glad to see lots of support and reposts and sharing the news and people trying to help with a positive outcome. I hope the car is returned safely and soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I just think it was endearing memes out of the face he made at the end of the stream. It's just funny. No one is taking the loss of his car lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I noticed he’s keeping the comments turned off on all posts… it’s probably for the best but at this point I doubt anyone would go after him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yes, you want to encourage the thief to return the car LOL, but I think it goes deeper than this. I think Billie is aware of the optics of his situation. It is just a car at the end of the day, and he is in a comfortable enough position where his life will go on largely uninterrupted whether or not he gets it back. It's not like a poor person getting the car they need to get to work and support their family stolen. I think he realizes that the justice system has far more important things to deal with than this and that being really heavy-handed with the thief would be pretty poor form given his position.

Yes for sure, he’s playing his best cards as this is gaining some media traction. I doubt it’s going to make the thief return the car, but he’s got a way of gaining favor with the peasantry (that’s a small victory) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but rich or poor, losing something of sentimental value is a huge loss 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 31 minutes ago, GDFan2019 said: Yeah but rich or poor, losing something of sentimental value is a huge loss That's definitely true, not to mention the violation of having your space broken into and your stuff stolen. That's not OK, especially since, as I noted earlier, it's pretty obvious that this was a planned and targeted crime, not just a desperate person doing something desperate. But still, it's far from the most serious crime that the justice system will be dealing with at any given moment, and I think Billie is aware of that. 43 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: Yes for sure, he’s playing his best cards as this is gaining some media traction.

I think this is actually how he feels. I am sure he is very angry about what happened, as anyone would be, but I also think he has the perspective to realize this isn't the end of the world. And I doubt he really wants to punish the thief. I think he just wants his car back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just an out of the box thought but I wonder if his lawyers told him to take the post down because by promising to pay their bail he was entering into some kind of verbal contract with criminals that could unintentionally be conspiracy (like if insurance fraud was alleged or something). So to avoid getting bound to a verbal agreement he had to take it down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
