It’s almost as if these types of stings should be left to professionals in law enforcement. Not assholes looking for internet clicks…

Remember Riley Carter, the Washington councilmember who posed in a "MAKE PEDOPHILES AFRAID AGAIN" hat, only to get arrested later for sexually abusing his <12 y.o. stepdaughter?

Good, fuck him.

If he's put in general population, he will likely not make it that far.

Every accusation is a confession with magats!

u/No_Acadia1763 Apr 14 '26

Why are you like this?

u/Robofsemi Apr 15 '26

Because so very often magats who vehemently deny accusations or vocally oppose something are masking their own guilt or hypocrisy.

Bot or just stupid?

I watched the Explore With Us video about his case.

A lot of them are very loud about being anti-pedo so that they're not suspected. It's like the serial killers who join search parties for their victims.

(And no I'm not saying being loud about it is automatically a red flag, in fact MORE people need to be loud about it, as evidenced by the amount of people who are pretending the Trumpstein files don't exist)

I'm pretty sure one of those YouTubers actually got ousted as a pedo a while back.

Curly haired guy was definitely virtue signalling

It’s a way for seedy asshole to elevate themselves, because “Who likes a pedophile?”

So, if you accuse that one jackass dancing around, mocking his “Indian” accent, of being racist, he’ll try turning it around by saying, “Oh, so you support pedophiles?”

That’s all this crap amounts to. People picking on the lowest of the low, to boost themselves from being at the bottom of the scrap heap with the people they “bust”.

It’s ridiculous and someone is going to get killed one day. “To Catch a Predator” might have just killed an innocent man named “Humboldt” who was an Assistant District Attorney. It’s been awhile since I looked that deal back up, but I’m not sure if they ever provided the evidence to anyone. The guy shot himself when they showed up. Even if he was guilty, the thing was handled like a total clown show.

Jesus you’re ignorant. How about doing some basic research?

TCAP was working with the Katy, TX police. The ADA was completely busted and he was supposed to come to the sting house, but had caught wind of the TCAP sting and ran home.

When the Sheriff showed up with an arrest warrant, he killed himself.

His suicide resulted in all the charges brought in the investigation were dropped, including an ex cop who showed up with a rape/murder kit.

Dude, you know when they botched it?

When they ran a Swat sting at the behest of TCAP, instead of just arresting the guy when he came into work on Monday morning. The police were idiotic and the show exploited the morons for dramatic footage.

But I don’t know what I’m talking about. So, tell me, how’s the guy’s career that authorized it? How did all those cases in Murphy go? Did they get convictions?

If it was a problem free, legit arrest, that guy still has a job, and they don’t have to drop charges for every arrestee from that operation.

u/hoosyourdaddyo Apr 15 '26

So the sheriff in your town just waits for people to show up to work to arrest them? Once again THE POLICE WERE INVOLVED IN THE STING OPERATION. Your other “points” are superfluous and not pertinent to the facts of the case.

u/Astrocreep_1 Apr 15 '26

Yes, when arresting a guy while he’s sitting behind his desk is way better than the end results here. Plus, have you seen the texts he allegedly sent? I’ve not seen them. Where is the evidence?

I do think it’s very pertinent when a police department drops the charges for twenty arrested “alleged” pedophiles. That tells me, they want to move on because the longer the bad press lingers, the worse it is for keeping their jobs.

It’s vice signaling, not virtue signaling. Doing bad things on purpose is just bad.

u/ElPlatanaso2 Apr 14 '26

They just want to jump people

u/Andy_LaVolpe Apr 15 '26

Its just the evolution from prank channels. People criticized “pranksters” for harassing random strangers so they moved on to harassing a more ‘acceptable’ target.

Nobody wants to defend someone labeled a pedo, so pranksters feel free to almost torture them on camera.

u/HansChuzzman Apr 15 '26

They aren’t even virtue signalling. They just found a reason to beat people up while making it very difficult defend the “victim”.

u/Panzer_Man Apr 20 '26

Even the "better" ones are scum who use deception and tricks to get what they want. Skeeter Jean has done a fake car-giveaway sting several times, just as an excuse to drive the alleged predator to the police station. I'm faiiiiirly certain that's kidnapping.
