Ryan Lobo: Photographing the hidden story

Dec 16, 2009 - Seems likely that the "General" who killed so many is a sociopath and has no conscience, and his forgiveness mission is probably NOT motivated by remorse...

Mrmoc7 Says:

Dec 16, 2009 - Because you can't afford speakers?

Mrmoc7 Says:

Dec 16, 2009 - For all those who will like to execute this guy, let us not forget that he's now become an Evangelist Pastor, essentially, the de facto leader of his community. If his execution was placed on a ballot, it probably wouldn't pass. I'm afraid this guy, because of the context within which he committed his crimes, will get away with single-handedly killing 10,000 people and eating children's hearts!

Dec 16, 2009 - or perhaps the stories of 'god' changing people are sometimes true? and maybe he truly is a changed man?

Dec 17, 2009 - what an irony , an Evangelist Pastor ?? That fit exactly the pictures...those western churches are responsible, like in south America, for even more mass murders, so what else to take this devil and make him an employee for the devilish church, and it fits that the only 2 pictures of forgiveness are the 2 retarded people...where is the Mother who lost her son ? Shall we praise Hitler and celebrate forgiveness, if he would become a member of the establish church ?

Mrmoc7 Says:

Dec 17, 2009 - @carbonhealth "Shall we praise Hitler and celebrate forgiveness, if he would become a member of the establish church ?" Of course not. Luckily, the community from which Hitler hailed in Germany was able to easily produce less genocidal leaders. My fear is that this Lobo guy is probably the only leader of his community, the only symbol they can gather around. Kill him, and everything falls apart again...

Mrmoc7 Says:

Dec 17, 2009 - @carbonhealth I would only suggest that outsiders not forcibly put him to death if the cohort he is responsible for slaughtering (his own people) don't want him dead. I would recommend that his death be placed on a ballot, and if there's less 80% support for his pardon, let him be put to death.

Thedreamshaperabc Says:

Dec 17, 2009 - @Mrmoc7 Is there an objective reason for 80% ? To quote a Philosopher: Surely god loves the 5% nearly as much as the 4%

Mrmoc7 Says:

Dec 17, 2009 - @Thedreamshaperabc My point was that If a majority of the people he's responsible for slaughtering, given the opportunity to him to death, would rather have him live, then no outsider, out of their aching hearts for justice and *human dignity,* should venture into their affairs.

Thedreamshaperabc Says:

Dec 18, 2009 - @Mrmoc7 i somewhat agree, its just an interesting discussion of which % would be enough, isnt it :)

Dec 18, 2009 - Great work Ryan Lobo. So many stories in all your shots. It has been proven that not forgiving causes cancer. As part of the human family it not up to us to pass judgment, It's up to us to forgive so we may be forgiven.

Dec 19, 2009 - meh, its not bad, i think its just a mindset try to get past that

thealgor Says:

Dec 19, 2009 - Great photos and stories, thanks!

jamblinuk Says:

Dec 21, 2009 - "annoying" is a mind construct that, as we all can see, has you enslaved - see how limited you are by defining a "sound" as annoying

LemonLimeLaughter Says:

Dec 29, 2009 - I'm glad that he is apologizing for what he did. This is not only beneficial for him. I bet his campaign of forgiveness is actually easing the suffering that he has caused. If somebody caused suffering in your life, what would make you feel better, executing the perpetrator? or him sincerely apologizing and putting the past to rest? I may be completely wrong though.

Jan 5, 2010 - these pictures are quite simply astonishingly powerful and beautiful. i really can't describe, or do justice with words, the feelings they stir up inside me.

freshhug Says:

Jan 19, 2010 - Always nice to see pictures but the pictures arent very special. This is just another India'n born with a gold spoon, without real skillz lifted by money and his friends in power.

Mrmoc7 Says:

Jan 23, 2010 - @freshhug Lol, wow. What a dick.

jazzigod Says:

Apr 23, 2010 - His work is incredible both in technical terms and prolific ones. So inspired right now.

May 5, 2010 - Storytelling: focus on what's dignified, courageous and beautiful and it grows.

May 7, 2010 - @Leodude1 religion, in theory, is good. its the people and what they do with it that can fuck it up. just like anything in the world.

valkin15 Says:

May 7, 2010 - women soldiers? I agree. I think they can diffuse violent situations better. message from this video: get your ignorance and stupidity out of the way, because the old "fight fire with fire" bullshit just doesn't work that way. work it out.
