You just never know! It could be anyone, but seems to usually be a man is some sort of position of authority.

Yeah, but considering it's a democrat, odds are they'll get ousted same as de Blasio.

Not that I'm suggesting a difference in response to sexual misconduct between the two parties has led to one developing a culture of sexual misconduct and a consequential greater likelihood of committing such acts. Both sides, am I right?

It’s Maryland, it’s really not unusual for a mayor to be arrested before they complete their term there. Seriously.

Its getting downvoted because you've made what seems like a poor attempt to imply buttigieg is also a pedo by association and I assume the intent is to slander all democrats as well. Whatever the case its irrelvant to the issue so you're getting downvoted

Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that after his arrest, the city council thanked him for his service…? Like what? I don’t care if he built the city from the ground up, why tf would you say that to somebody who just got indicted on 56 counts of CP possession??

> edit: Why is this getting down voted?

I dunno. Why's your first thought with this story to try and link it to a prominent gay politician? Why're you linking to a writer for the Post Millennial, a right wing publication that's playing into the moral panic over drag queens? Why's this addon mark your account as LGBT-hostile? Why's your whole post feel like it's leaning into the right's ongoing campaign to pedojacket the LGBT community? Why's it feel like you thought you were being slick, but when people saw right through you, you figured you'd act taken aback, and the hope is people who're none the wiser'll think the downvotes're an overreaction if not an active attempt to cover something up?

I understand exactly what you’re saying. But the rule of “innocent until proven guilty” still stands true. The city council is not going to slander and say shit about him cause if somehow the police fuck up the investigation and he gets off free, then they set themselves up for a civil lawsuit for defamation. Again I’m not disagreeing with you. I think they could have left the “thank you” part out.

I google searched for more info on this guy, and found that Twitter thread. The fact that this is a politically connected pedo seemed newsworthy l, so I added it.

I have no idea what the fuck 'shinigami eyes' is or what it has to do with a reddit account. You'll have to walk me through that one.

'pedojacket' lol.

If pedos are exploiting kids, they should be exposed. If those pedos are politically connected, that should be explored. It shouldn't matter if they belong to a group you consider to be 'your team'.

Yeah I woke up one day to a bunch of state patrol and a big "cyber enforcement division" truck outside on a neighboring street. Turns out a guy got busted for possession and distribution. It got maybe a paragraph from the local news blogs and another after conviction. Not a whole lot to say about it, the guy was a nobody. I'm sure that's not unusual that it just goes on in the background and most folks don't notice.

Ugh, not so much he had it, but the fact he had that much makes me ill. That means it's child sexual assault is happening alot more than we think.

You cant possess that much unless it's going on repeatedly most of the time. These mother fuckers need to just be put on a remote island far away and left there.

Need to not only go after him, even the ones that got it through his distribution

Biased? You haven't been paying attention. Many of these stories dont include party and especially if the person's office is non-partisan. I've read so many posts where commenters complain they had to google to find the porn dude was GOP

Plus people in authority make a much better story than some random dude no one's heard of. Just happens that in America thanks to decades of sexism, etc. that those positions of authority have been overwhelmingly filled by old white men

Yup, used to defend these kinds of cases in the public defender's office. Never had a high profile one. It was pretty much run of the mill kind of people; tech support, mechanic. Normal every day kind of jobs.

It's not really newsworthy.

Could you link to your post about former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (Republican) recently being convicted of child molestation, or of any of his associations with current Republican lawmakers?

No, because I didn't make one. If I go back far enough into my post history, though, I can find posts about the Republican call-boy White house scandal, (repuplican) Lawrence Kings Savings and loan scandal, Roy Cohn's special relationship with Trump, etc...

Should I stick to ONLY pointing out Republican-afffiliated pedos, and avoid the Democrat-affiliated ones? Would that make you happy?

13 mayors since 2021 for child sex crimes. They're trying to overtake teachers and priests as the lead occupation for kiddie diddlers.

“Politician was close to another politician” just isn’t as salacious huh?

That seems like a far more likely connection point. Bet you could dig up all sorts of Republican arrestees associated with prominent national Republican politicians. But that’s never been newsworthy either.

Yeah if he was republican affiliated I still dont think it would matter to this discussion. Theres plenty of examples of sexual abuse from people in power regardless of political leaning seems to be a common theme among the ultra rich

Oh! Right. Epstein's island.

I thought you meant they'd stranded a bunch of criminals on an island somewhere like a penal colony, and I couldn't figure out which country you were talking about, because that happened several times in history.

People should be more suspicious of child pornography charges, especially involving people of political importance.

It’s not well known, but there are people on the dark web who will “contract” services such as planting illegal content on a targets computer and then alerting authorities. Basically instead of assassinating someone directly, you “assassinate” their character. Child porn is among the worst things someone can be associated with, and no one is going to risk defending someone accused of having it by digging deeper.

Now there’s no way to know if that’s what actually happened in any particular case, but it does happen and it’s not something the general public is aware of.

The part of this I find most shocking is that College Park has a mayor.

If he used a torrent site then sometimes the distribution charge is an artifact of that tech rather than intentional distribution.

Of course I'd he was just spreading it around on purpose then extra extra extra F him.

Pete Buttigieg’s good buddy. This guy should call in PB as a character witness at the trial. Reminisce about all of the good times they used to have. (Do wonders for PB’s next Presidential run showing his appeal to all kinds of people.)
