Patrick Swayze update

[K9soul]

Patrick has been in the spotlight for decades.

I don't think that's any reason why he shouldn't be allowed respect and dignity instead of stalking and snapping pictures of him and then plastering them all over to show the world how ill and wasted he looks and what a shell of his former self he is now. This man is dying and he deserves respect and compassion. I get sick of people having the attitude that just because someone is an actor or is famous that there are a different set of rules and ethics that apply to them and that they do not deserve the same consideration as a family member or friend who is suffering. The story could have told about his will to fight and his determination without the pictures to add shock value to it.

Yes the media and paparazzi types are everywhere butting into people's personal lives because they are 'famous' and treating them with little respect. That doesn't make it right. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Patrick and have loved watching him since I was in high school. He has always seemed a very sensitive and gentle man. There is also his family and loved ones to think about too.

Amen Jess.

Patrick has been in the spotlight for decades. He knows if he goes out anywhere in public, there will be cameras - with or without his permission. I don't think he really cared one way or the other.

I don't think that's any reason why he shouldn't be allowed respect and dignity.

CATTY
where's you're compassion? You certainly have more than enough for the people here but for someone dying of a horrible disease - oh he should be used the publicity?
exactly - what Jess said...
that's like saying a girl walking across the street in short shorts deserves to be brutally raped.
I think it is Vile to exploit someone at the lowest of the low in their life and to put in on forum like its a "look at it the little birdie" post is Just as Vile. Tho as par for the OP's course - I'm not surprised.
Photographers like these people are just highly paid stalkers.

that said - he actually looks a lot like his brother so I wonder if its possible if those are actually of the brother.
