Do you generally hate people that you don't actually know? Or are you addressing her singing? Or the way she looks? Cause if it's the singing...well, that's an opinion. Right or wrong, only an opinion. Hate is not an opinion...its a disease that eats goodness.
Otherwise, try to be somewhat more intelligent in your comments. The woman has clearly had a rough time of it in this life. It's tough living with mental illness and hating someone for existing under that situation; well, that makes you a bit of a tosser, doesn't it...
And with her passing, your hate is forever imprinted into the spirit of the universe...fly on Irish Angel, be free and soar eternally...
...awfully bloody good, yes?
Interesting. Sinead called and asked that we remind you that her basket of fucks is completely empty.
It does, since that's Horace Andy on the mic. ;)

"Insuffient evidence" is a phrase used by police, the CPS and courts in the UK when a prosecution is discontinued or fails for that reason even when there was no evidence, which is a shame. It would be nice if they could say dismissed due to no evidence, but that would make the prosecution look like idiots.
Trial by media again. If there is nothing to suggest guilt, then none should be assumed. The prosecution should make this clear and not just make it appear that they didn't have enough filth to make it stick.
Sorry to butt in, but according to the police statement it was 'insufficient' so the original poster was quite correct - no need to be quite so harsh in a response?
Police clear Massive Attack star in child porn inquiry
By Anthony Barnes and Nina Marshall

The Sun-Herald
Detectives have dropped an internet pornography inquiry into the frontman of dance band Massive Attack, police said yesterday.
Robert Del Naja - known to fans as 3D - was arrested as part of the Operation Ore investigation, an international crackdown on child pornography. Computer equipment was seized but has been returned. Avon and Somerset police informed the musician's management yesterday that he would not face charges. Del Naja is on tour in Japan.
A police statement said: "A man in his 30s from Bristol, who was arrested on Tuesday, February 25, has been released without charge in relation to internet pornography offences due to insufficient evidence. He is still on police bail in relation to allegations of possession of a controlled drug."
At the time of his arrest Del Naja denied viewing child porn. He said: "I have never looked at child pornography in my life. I am fully co-operating with the police and I would ask everyone not to judge me prematurely. I have total faith in the justice system."

But to oldsaxon's point, I think the word "insufficient" for something like this instead of "lack of" or "no evidence" gives the impression that there was some evidence, but not enough to hold him in custody. That by default makes some people assume guilty.
For christsakes though, are we going to keep this crap going like some did about Pete Townshend for years when he was innocent, because they want to soapbox about how evil pedos are?
I hope not.

I, too, have been critical of Sinead O'Connor. I was at a training once when the topic of recognized disabilities surfaced. Everyone was asked if they were afflicted with blindness, deafness. paralysis, etc. they preferred. Out of a seminar of 500 people, no one chose mental illness. It's tough. All that said, it's not mental illness that defines your character, it your choices. Sinead's made choices people are free to question. I have questioned those choices. But at the end of the day, she's a wonderful artist and moral judgments are not my responsibility. OP needs to lighten up and listen to the music.
This is awesome. I dig the deep trance (house, downbeat) or what ever you want to call this type of art. Definitly my choice of backgroud music for writing code. Bring on the Attack.

Amen to that 🙏 it made me cry... Even more cause the message she wanted to share with all of us was all about LOVE ❤️ ... Haters make me really sad... Haters need even more love than others

To hate someone that you never met doesn't look good for your state of mind.
