Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was the victim of a violent robbery outside Southern Tracks Recording studios in Atlanta, where the band is recording their ninth studio album. The robbers c
ame on the afternoon of April 27th with knives and they came out from the woods wearing black masks and gloves. The robbers smashed the windows of his rented Jeep and grabbed a BlackBerry before demanding more money. In total, Ament was robbed of $3,000 in cash and $4,320 worth of goods. The bassist was chased and knocked to the ground, sustaining a head injury. The attackers (who also stole Ament’s passport) escaped into a waiting black Nissan Maxima. The incident was captured on a surveillance camera, but no arrests have been made. Pearl Jam declined to comment on the incident.The way I see seems as the richer you are the more likely to get robbed you are since people will know about your riches, take for example this case, Pearl Jam is very well known to everyone and the fact of them giving out the location where they were recording their new abum was rather stupid on their part because all taht does is incite people like do this to commit crimes.
Do you think the band is to balme also??

I don't think it was the bands fault. The robbery could of happened anywhere. These people probably did not even plan on meeting Pearl Jam. Most street criminals are not very smart. You never know though. I bet they will be a little more aware of their surroundings now, haha.
ReplyDeleteI don't really think it is the band's fault. Granted, they shouldn't have stated where they were going and when, but there could also be creepers out there who stalk them and would know anyway. I agree that if you are known to be rich, you will be more susceptible to a robbery, but this robbery could have happened anywhere at anytime even if they didn't say where they were.
