Quite an interesting vid here. Jonas almost seemed to be a member of the forums with how he described what happened from his point of view and brought up the question of why they did not grab Bree? This was also a great example of how natural Jackson's acting is in front of the camera. The way he plainly speaks as Jonas and conveys what he is thinking helps to relate to us the LG fans so well.
My thoughts on what Jonas said in particular:
"Jonas says that he was shocked at what happened and tells us what he remembers."
Okay so he clearly layed out for us that it was a regular Deacon that we have seen in past videos (bald one) and a blonde haired woman who is clearly Lucy that were grabbing Bree's "Dad". Someone thought that it was strange that he didn't flat out say it was Lucy but i think i have two explanations for that:
1) He said Bree had said something about the bald deacon so maybe he is only relying on information that he is currently getting from her. Which is not a lot but he gets what he can.
2) Maybe he started watching vids at a point where Lucy was not mentioned and he did not see the past videos where she was assisting Bree for the ceremony. Seems he would have witnessed the whole saga by now but you never know. He also could have simply missed or didn't realize that Lucy was probably that blonde woman.
"The body he mentions being loaded into the trunk of the Deacons' car"
Has to be Bree's "dad" plain and simple and he is surely dead. I am not sure he saw blood or any kind of hard evidence that supports him being dead, but i am not really sure what he saw unless the "raw" footage he has shows something which we did not see. Because i do not see him seeing any blood or strong evidence that the wound was fatal from driving away and looking in the rear view mirror. I mean they were a good deal away from the shooting area. Anyways....
"He had an instinct to protect Bree but hesitated"
1) Yes, people react differently in times of peril so this could have been his simple reaction.
2) He does care for Bree but not to the point of fully risking his body for a bullet.
3) He saw Daniel taking care of the situation and decided to focus on filming. Him holding the camera might have gotten in the way of really helping anyway.
4) Jonas was kinda of acting jumpy anyway to begin with from his crazy santa story to him asking "is that really her dad!!?" So maybe him being so freaked out influenced his behavior.
"His questioning of why the deacons were not concerned about grabbing Bree or him and Beast for that matter."
I simply think this question was used to bring "our" attention to this very important issue. To not let us forget this tid bit and to really think about it. It is quite strange and difficult to figure out why they did not pursue them which a lot of us have wondered why.
Maybe....
-They had their hands full and decided to deal with Bree's dad only.
Not enough Deacons to deal with the boys and Bree.
- It was Bree's dad they were after in this instance and not her because they have future plans at getting her next. Maybe they didn't get a confirmation from the Order to procede any further. By now the Order has all they need from the car Bree stole to help them plan their next move anyway so why waste the effort. Take out the main person who revealed to much info to Bree first. Worry about Bree later.
"Lastly, he wants to help Bree get through this situation by using psychological technigues he knows."
I think he is geniunely wanting to help her get through her pain any way that he can. So, from what he has learned in his counseling sessions from his parent's deaths he will attempt to bring her around. Is this necessarly good or bad to try?
Good...
in a sense that Bree tends to cope too much with hard issues by herself and would benefit from help. Loads are easier to bear with support which the boys are the only family she has at the moment. And frankly they need to cope with the situation just as much as she does.
Also good for the obvious reason it would drag out time between videos being posted. It would help if this situation were resolved in at a good pace but not so fast as to seem unrealistic considering what has happened. I guess when a DVD is finally made or if you watch these vids after a bit of time has passed though this will not be as big of a deal as seems now.
Bad...
tring to help may just make Bree further slip into seclusion and be even more distant then she is. This may cause her to become very angry or be in even more grief from interference of her wishes. She seems to deal with her pain mostly alone and this might be the best method for "her" at the moment. Of course being alone may cause her to get advice from her stuffed animals. Which is bad, not because i am hatin' on the animals ( i like em

) but that she has moved so far from being attached to them lately. Going back to them is back tracking and she isn't talking to real people like Daniel or Jonas. Stuffed animals or real people ummm i would pick reality over fantasy right now. Even if they do seem to help her a little as imaginary friends.
Whew

hehe okay, i think i got in all that i wanted to say sorry about the length.

Now LLP must rest so goodnight all and keep discussing things. I look forward to reading more posts.
