People worry about drag queens having access to children for the very public story hour but then they let their kids see the priest in private. When can they get it through their heads that the person you need to watch, to be suspicious of, is someone who 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑠 to 'counsel' children privately? Not someone who reads to kids publicly.
“Each of the eight charges, filed in McLeod County, MN, carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000. They note that Yates has a prior conviction and is a registered predatory offender.”
See, this 👆🏼is the problem right here. A MAXIMUM sentence of 10 years in prison. First of all, this is a joke, as evidenced by the fact that he is already a registered sex offender that has done no time. If they would throw these skeevy muthafucka’s in jail forever, after their initial crime, we might see a reduction in predatory behavior towards our children. But noooooooo!
You would think that because he has a prior conviction, the punishment would be worse for him the second go round, but apparently not. No he gets less than a year and a fine. Sure it seems big to you and me, but I doubt he’s scraping by and searching couch cushions to pay it. When a crime is punished by fine, then that just becomes the cost of looking a child porn. It’s not a deterrent or a way of stopping it, it’s just profiting from it. This guy obviously isn’t going to stop looking at children, and such young children (shiver), making him pay money does nothing. Telling him to not be around children when he’s a father is not going to do anything. Do something about this known predator to protect children, something substantial. Make sure he’s never around children and keep him out of society completely.
Probably when the Roman Catholic Church got away with it ... again and Again and AGAIN, never mind the various atrocities from evangelicals and Jehovah's Witnesses.
Damn it, I want to hear that these bastards are being thrown in jail for what they've done to kids!
She* and not as much exercise as she would have wanted, she had about one hour outside a day when it was cold, 2 the rest of the year. DM and mine's budget was already stretched thin. Good thing her adoptive sister was a vegetarian.
My BH needed 5 meals (3 full meals and 2 half) a day + an all-you-can eat 24/7 buffet of dog treats.
*So much for gaining weight after she was neutered. The transition toward the diet recommended by her vet make her loose about 2 kg in about 10 days, it took more than a month for her to get them back.
I would use a blowtorch and pliers to remove a certain set of bodily parts, and without anesthesia. After that pour alcohol on the wound. So scumbag can feel the full extent of “suffering for his faith.
Howard Stern had a good one years ago: strip the pedo naked, then staple his scrotum to the floor in a wooden hut. Leave a knife within arm's reach, then close the door of the hut and set the entire hut on fire. Let the pedo choose what to do next.
The beauty of Jesus, Inc. is that the sinner is automatically forgiven for each transgression by the fictional deity. Absolved of fault, he can move on to the next assault with a clear conscience. Christianity 101.
For the protection of my own children and all children, I don’t call this sort of situation hypocrisy, I call it projection. If they’re claiming other people are inherently predators of children because they’re either LGBTQ or leftists (or both) that means they are likely doing something they ought not to do with children.
LGBTQ people aren’t trying to make kids gay or trans, but they are trying to tell gay and trans kids they are not alone, they can be themselves, and that someone is working toward making them safe. Christians are always trying to make kids Christian, while being the very predators the children need protection from, whether it’s violence and abuse for being LGBTQ or sexual assault for being young and vulnerable, susceptible to the power imbalance that is inherent in religion.
That's exactly what they object to. I doubt any of them actually believe "my straight kid will turn gay." What they fear is "my gay kid will stop trying to behave straight."
It's more like: "My straight kid will start looking at him- or herself and maybe learning something that will make ME feel uncomfortable. Since I can't deal with that, I can't let my kid think for themselves.
A lot like the parents who plotted against their children and either kill them or send them to a Christian Camp straight outta Hell the moment they discover that their kids are gay or are planning on leaving Christianity or abandoning the Christian ideologies that the parents were trying to instill in their minds.
"LGBTQ people aren’t trying to make kids gay or trans..."
Why would they want to? Many know first-hand what kind of torture it is to force someone into an identity that does not fit. Yet more projection from the Christian predators. They want to justify their use of torture by claiming their enemies are using it.
These religions ARE ALL about grooming the mind! And then it’s easy to groom for perverted reasons. So many perverts in Christianity points more to their inner fight never to give in to their own sexual preferences. But there is never a category for adult vs child preference. This is serious mental illness and these preachers, priests, imams etc should NEVER be around children.
Absolutely major projection happening here. It’s all about maintaining their sense of moral superiority. If they have no one to project onto and dehumanize then how would they keep their superiority status? Who threatens them most? People who live freely and defy their rule. This power-play isn’t admirable.
Also it’s so much easier to project than to do the work to improve yourself. Lazy is a word I’m using more recently describe this type of morality if you can call it that. Morality here is all but absent.
You’ve got that spot on, that LBQ … people are not trying to proselytise (wow, I got it right!!) children, they’re just trying to show the concept of tolerance. (I’d quote your sentence but I can’t do it or link anything at the moment.
But that might actually be the heart of the matter, that these ‘christians’ can’t cope with tolerance, that they can’t cope with the concept and can’t cope with the actuality? I’ll think about it some more.
It's always the ones you most expect, ain't it? This guy claims "secular progressives" are responsible for “devastating moral decay” and “the erosion of traditional family values", but it's not a secular progressive, or an atheist, or a drag queen, or member of the LGBTQ community who was downloading images of children engaged in 'sexually deviant behavior.'
240 days in jail for a repeat sexual offender? Not even close to enough. Supervised probation? What a joke. Having a porn monitor installed on his computer? He'll just go out and buy a burner. And wasn't he already a registered sex offender when he committed these crimes? But please, christians, lecture the rest of us on morality. Shaking my damned head......
Do you remember that ‘character counts’ mantra they put forward? Clearly it doesn’t count very much, when they disregard it completely to support a thief, a liar, an adulterer ….
(Is there a commandment, which the guy hasn’t broken? Maybe put up a poster in the White House rather than school classrooms?)
Too often the perpetrator is given a slap on the wrist while the child victim has a life sentence or death sentence from drug overdose or suicide. When will judges get that through their thick skulls.
The man is a repeat offender and registered sex offender and instead of spending the rest of his life (80 years) in prison, he skates on 240 days in jail!?! WTF?
Sorry to sound like Pete and re-Pete but ... no, not a drag queen. Just another Christian hotshot who says ONE thing and DOES ANOTHER. As I've said before, this is a repeating theme: mostly men in religious authority who are discovered to be not quite so righteous as their followers would have them to be.
Now here's the BIG question: is there ANY CHANCE that they are conscious of this pattern? Is it possible that, at some level or other, they are aware of this repeated aberration among their numbers?
The obvious answer has to be NO ... because it keeps on happening ... and they keep on tolerating it.
Apologies, I put down the ‘not a drag queen’ comment before I read your post.
As regards your question about patterns - there are just too many incidents of pastors, preachers and christian influencers getting involved in dodgy sex scandals that there are good reasons for the conclusion that it’s the religion which screws them up, which prevents them from developing a healthy sexuality.
Oh, piffle-dee-dee! I was at least the third commenter to use the drag queen thing here. Still, it needs to be reinforced: that the people that evangelicals are castigating so actively are the LEAST LIKELY to commit such heinous crimes.
If they want to see who's MOST likely, they should look at who is standing in their local pulpit!
Something somewhat related - do you know a film called Kinky Boots? It’s an absolute cracker. It’s a very fine European (English) comedy and like many it has got some bittersweet scenes.
If you can find it somewhere I can really really recommend it.
I look at it this way, if they are obsessed to the point of yelling constantly about something as awful as child molesting, it is because they were a victim, or, the molester. I never think about that stuff, other than to wish perps a long jail sentence as a danger to society.
Declaring gender preferences should be considered normal, whether or not a person is trans. How many gender neutral names are out there? Getting an email from "Sam Smith" hasn't defaulted to he/him pronouns for a long time. I would bet that the average Samantha would be a bit miffed if addressed as "Mr Sam".
Though I'd point out that you don't need both Mr/Ms and he.him/she.her on a name tag. The first gives you the second. Dr. or Professor, it makes sense. Though for an undergrad robotics competition, none of the competitors have those titles (while yes the judges and audience might.)
In a previous life I worked for an international organisation. Our Paris office got a new member of staff and the manager sent an email introducing the new colleague, telling us the name and a bit of background. But I had to google that ‘Eniko’ was a Hungarian female name …. the manager had not included any pronouns!
Like Sam in the other example, or Charlie or Pat it could be either gender. I’ve started using ‘they’ when I am not sure, also for online comments when it is so unclear.
You can only wonder what these people got away with before law enforcement began taking their victims seriously. From a very early age, long before I could articulate the arguments, alarm bells began going off in my head any time I heard a member of the clergy claiming the right to a say in other people's personal choices. The willingness of so many people to delegate an important part of their thinking to the clergy is in no small way responsible for the mess this world is in. Never listen to anyone who tries telling you to abandon reason for faith.
I can't give you a specific date, but it began when children being sexually abused by the clergy began making it into the news. The churches were no longer able to hide behind their Bibles and clerical collars and blame the victims who dared to make accusations against men of God. Law enforcement was largely complicit, and blamed the victims as well more often than not. The Catholic Church in particular has paid out tens of millions of dollars in compensation, but it's hardly limited to Catholics. Pedophiles go where the kids are.
Well, now that freaky circus sex is out of fashion, we can move on to my favorite, freaky Star Trek sex. But I’m partial to the next generation over TOS.
Dumb Idiot Ham says that there will be violence, crime, lawlessness, bloodshed, children looking at porn, breaking of families, divorce, and corruption if people abandoned Biblical scripture and his Creationist fantasies. Someone needs to tell his to his stubborn, hard-headed face that all these things mentioned are already happening predominately in hard core Christian communities especially in the Bible Belt. And I wouldn't be surprise if/when Dumb Idiot Ham is discovered to have child porn in his PC hard and cloud drives just like Yates does.
Larry mentioned "cats and dogs, living together," the classic line from the original Ghostbusters. You mentioned Gojira / Godzilla, who is a big guy, like Mr. STAY-PUFT.
Now that you mention it, a contretemps between the lizard and the marshmallow might be INTERESTING! 🤪
Both. It can be both. They need to pretend their former leader isn't a sex predator so the cognitive dissonance from decades of indoctrination that the LGBTQ community is a threat does not kick in and make their brains hurt.
Likely never. Their desire to control the masses won't allow them to. The true believers among them think their God told them their narrow bigoted view is the Absolute Truth (tm) and the Only Way To Allow People To Live. As a result of that, they must protect the real predators at all costs, while oppressing everyone.

Gotta watch out for those “youth ministers.” Those jobs are often staffed by pedo’s on the hunt…all under the guise of loving Jeebus.
Here at FA, youth minister is code for pedophile
I would say all clergy is code for pedophile!

It could be worse, in Montana an incestuous father can do no jail time if his wife write a letter pathetic enough.
Exactly what I am talking about, Black Hole. How did sexual abuse of our children become damn near normalized?

Neat puppy-dog!
Would that be the doggo or Teddy?
The Doggess, nicknamed BH for her ability to make meat disappear (600g/1 pound and half a day).
That is a lot of meat! He must get lots of exercise with that lean body.
She* and not as much exercise as she would have wanted, she had about one hour outside a day when it was cold, 2 the rest of the year. DM and mine's budget was already stretched thin. Good thing her adoptive sister was a vegetarian.

I have a few ideas of my own for a Pedophile Treatment Center
I would use a blowtorch and pliers to remove a certain set of bodily parts, and without anesthesia. After that pour alcohol on the wound. So scumbag can feel the full extent of “suffering for his faith.
Howard Stern had a good one years ago: strip the pedo naked, then staple his scrotum to the floor in a wooden hut. Leave a knife within arm's reach, then close the door of the hut and set the entire hut on fire. Let the pedo choose what to do next.
Alcohol would be cruel. I would suggest salt. It's much cheaper
Lemon juice, with a Carolina Reaper chaser.
Well, I think the only thing we can do is try all of it and see what works the best. It’s only fair.
A small guillotine about a yard off the ground.
Needs to be adjustable. Some men are farther from the ground and some closer. I have to assume some small percentage of them are that vile.
No, make them stretch up or crouch down.
And did I mention the guillotine is old, rusty and blunt. So it may take a while.
No amount of stretching puts it at a yard for a 5’3” man.
There still should be some from the 18th and 19th century buried in a museum basement. Though, they will be full sized.
And then he pleaded down to 240 days. He likely got that deal 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 he is a Christian.
It’s all about criminal rights with these MAGATS. Victims are routinely ignored.
Only when the perp is one of their own.
Christian & kiddie diddler = 240 days.
Foreign student with expired visa = lifetime in hellish gulag in a country you're not from.
“Expired” visa, because the MAGA Reich retroactively expired it days/weeks/months before.

Yep that too. Maybe their kid coming out doesn't scare them as much as their kid becoming a tolerant liberal lol.
I suspect both of those would have the average MAGA parent positively apoplectic!
When one of our kids came out to us parents our worry was about wether the kid had known for a long time without anyone to talk to.
So, you’re telling me xtian conversion therapy doesn’t work? Damn.
It works to fill the pockets of charlatans.
Oh it works ... if you want your kid to be miserable as fuck!
As one mother found out too late:

Christian evangelism IS grooming. They use the exact same techniques.

And considering the size of Trump's mushroom, we see what a lousy President he is.
Really, though if we were supposed to judge by that, LBJ's Johnson suggests that he would have been STUPENDOUS!
But ol' Lyndon had his good and bad days, too.
Are you implying Trump has good days?

Those "horizons" predate your idiotic biblical beliefs, Yates. There is nothing new OR strange about them.
If it involves “sex,” it’s been done.
Ever hear of the Hohle Fels phallus? A dildo dating back 28,000 years that was discovered in Germany,
And there are many others made of stone, wood and bone (that last one gives boner a whole new meaning).

Well, in the end, he got toasted ... but who can come up with enough Graham crackers and bar chocolate to make THAT MANY S'MORES???
He should have stayed in his movie ? If I get the reference right.
Larry mentioned "cats and dogs, living together," the classic line from the original Ghostbusters. You mentioned Gojira / Godzilla, who is a big guy, like Mr. STAY-PUFT.
Now that you mention it, a contretemps between the lizard and the marshmallow might be INTERESTING! 🤪
France is doing very well, that must be the influence of ark disaster.
Dumb idiot Ham should go a suck jeezyboy’s dead dick while getting a bible shove up his ass, and jumper cables to a car battery on his testicles.
Not just children looking at porn. Children being filmed AS PORN.

Before even reading the article, I must state the obligatory: Not. A. Drag. Queen.
Did we post at the same time? There was nothing there when I posted. GMTA. :)
Looks that way. 😆
Now TS has used it. Let’s face, all we have to do is read the headline and the go-to response pops into all our heads. :)

Both. It can be both. They need to pretend their former leader isn't a sex predator so the cognitive dissonance from decades of indoctrination that the LGBTQ community is a threat does not kick in and make their brains hurt.

Likely never. Their desire to control the masses won't allow them to. The true believers among them think their God told them their narrow bigoted view is the Absolute Truth (tm) and the Only Way To Allow People To Live. As a result of that, they must protect the real predators at all costs, while oppressing everyone.
Always point fingers at the other, because realizing the greatest threat comes from your inner circle is too horrible to contemplate.
Camouflage for pedo’s. JFC
And yet, some of these christians are the same people fighting for the ability to "home school" children out of public sight...
I wonder why?
I don't. Not anymore.
