Final stretch goal: Chris actually fucks a kid

LMFAO

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Is the show really watchable? Based on the premise alone I don't think I could sit through an episode.

It's hilarious, the reactions that the creepy-ass pedoes give when Chris shows himself are priceless.

 

[Einhander]

These types of responses are always hilarious.

What's not hilarious is your throwaway, drive-by post.

It's brutal to watch sometimes.

Sometimes there are moments where the person that shows up is blindsided and talks to Chris Hanson candidly, but otherwise it's not something I'd say I'd look forward to actively watching.

 

[MormaPope]

Yeah, because your post that semi defends people looking for kid pussy on the internet really needs to be refuted and beat down with extensive arguments, right?

Pedophiles get publicly shamed when they were about to fuck a 13 or 14 year old, the horror. Parents get paranoid about what their kids do on the internet, such a unforgivable act.

 

[Branduil]

There would be no one to "entrap" if they weren't searching for little kids and actively going after them off-line. I have no sympathy for anyone who gets caught.

There are actually good reasons that entrapment is illegal.

Word.



also....dead at the anime crack.

 

[Exr]

There was this old man in the first show with a screen name called "hambubger" and it still cracks me up. Also it gave me the classic line, "imma gonna lick u good". Do you people really want to lose out on classic moments like these?

 

[Frankensteiner]

Fuck this guy and that fear-mongering show he was on. It fostered many paranoid parents.

Have a seat.

 

[Couleurs]

It was something alright...

IDK why but I can't stop laughing at, "Hambubger"

Thanks for putting words in my mouth. "Semi defend"? Really?

No, I don't defend pedophiles. Not at all. But this show is trashy for its intended purpose: it's mindless entertainment and also forces a great deal of parents to assume the worst out of any man. It's cute that you think this show is informative.

 

[rtcn63]

The Raw Tapes/unseen material can be a bit brutal.

I wouldn't call any of the cases on the show entrapment. Those chat logs are pretty damning.

We also don't really know if these cases hold up when the show's done filming, so for all we know those men can end up being released because of not enough tangible evidence to hold up in court, but public shaming may be enough to get them away from children.

It really grew tasteless and cannon fodder when it became less about Chris Hanson actually engaging them and more about the cops showing off in force for the viewer.

 

[freenudemacusers]

hopefully they have stretch goals for submitting your kid's headshot for chatbait. i really want to break my kids into the entertainment industry, and this seems like a good way to get them on the map.

Why would you have anything to worry about?

If it's mindless, don't watch it. In what way does the show give way to implications that are harmful to you?

You just plopped words into my mouth. I also have no idea what to make of that bolded sentence, what are you talking about? Also never said the show was informative, its a goofy as fuck show that's is indeed pretty entertaining. I have some empathy for people that are attracted to kids and hate that fact or facet of themselves, but I'm not going to feel bad for dudes that cruise the internet looking to fuck kids.

Assume the worst out of any man. I dunno dude, I never ran into people that shielded their kids because Zach the Best Buy employee or Sam the family accountant said hi to a family.

 

[AdmiralSnackbar]

I wish they would have kept going with to catch a scam artist, just as entertaining with less morally gray areas.

Are your kids above what we call "hollywood homely"? If so, hire an agent.

 

[Frog-fu]

animegaf gonna need to doublecheck those 1,000 year old birth certs

Nothing short of amazing.

You might be able to be a decoy yourself if they find the right kids clothes for you. Its all about the acting ability, be the kid.

I don't actually believe that what they do is entrapment.

They wouldn't be out of place on nickelodeon? Perfecto, I'd drop everything and move to LA right now!

It's not.

I have a problem with a camera news group doing this. Thats what the police/fbi or whatever's responsibility. I have a problem with news/media being directly involved in this.

Besides, the court ruled against them when guy shot himself. The video from that showed that the police were more interested in looking cool in front of the cameras instead of making a proper arrest.

I cannot fathom what they could be offering that would be desirable.

It was something alright...

This guy got deporty shortly after he got processed.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Basically a TX county prosecutor got busted and killed himself if I remember correctly. I remember hearing on the news that the charges were dismissed against other people busted in that particular sting as well because of the whole ordeal.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Weren't they skirting a lot of corners before and basically none of the people they arrested went to jail?

A lot of the people they arrested went to jail. I graduated high school with a guy who was busted and arrested in the Georgia investigation. He spent 2 years in jail.

The second-to-last one they did was in Murphy, TX. That one was so poorly done by the local police department that the local DA threw out all the cases and didn't charge anyone. That's also the one where a DA from another town killed himself after he figured out he was about to be arrested.

 

[Messofanego]

Ehhh this was always a sketchy show even with the entertainment it brought.

Wow indeed, this was always such an interesting show.

Always thought this dude looked like Jerry Seinfield

Gilbert Gottfried

 

[Orbis Tabula]

This show has always been a guilty pleasure for me. I like it, but I don't really feel good about liking it. I'm not sure if I would support it coming back, though.

 

[Damaniel]

Fuck him. Nothing wrong with hunting down predators, but Chris Hansen is a giant douche by parading them around on TV purely for entertainment value.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Casey the decoy is too old now (26) to reclaim her job though.

I dont get the anime joke.

Edit: I get that anime is rife with the chibi creepy shit but the birth certificate part doesnt track.

I almost laughed.

Almost.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Short of letting the backers go out and cuff/humiliate the pedos on TV and alongside the police, I really don't know either.

It's not something I can imagine people buying merchandise of either.

In at least a couple of cases, it was. Obviously there's nothing wrong with arresting pedophiles who attempt to prey on children, but Perverted Justice is a pretty sketchy organization itself, and attempting to profit off of policing is kind of gross.

 

[diffusionx]

Was there a single person on TCAP who actually was a child predator and not just a loser playing out fantasies on AOL chat?

Use Kickstarter money to entrap a bunch of people and ruin their lives? Sounds like a good idea.

lol no it doesn't.

If you're talking about sexual shit with minors on the internet you deserve to have your life ruined. Pedophiles are predators.

I don't see how you can entrap anybody into engaging in sexual chats with a 13 year old, but I'll go ahead and read the links.

Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KlqNUwkFDE
