Sound of Freedom funder charged with child kidnapping

I mean, the law of probability suggested this was going to happen…!

Wow, this is a new level of moronic. So a random guy, "one of thousands" who contributed to like a Kickstarter, has been charged with child kidnapping but "Police have not released additional details regarding the criminal charges." Maybe it's something and maybe it's not, but 9 times out of 10 this is a parent with shared custody of a kid taking the kid on vacation or something on what was supposed to be the other parent's time, and the other parent being vindictive. Still bad, but by giving no information, the mind will automatically assume it's a guy, like, snatching a kid off the street somewhere.

Either way, this is retarded. So if I crowdfund a book and it turns out one of the hundreds of guys that backed it stabbed a guy in a mall later on, that's somehow a reflection on me or the book? You might as well just make a thread that says "Existence of reportedly conservative movie bothers meeeeee!"

Hey, every moment has at least one bad apple.

Maybe he funded the film out of a guilty conscience?

“One of thousands…”

The headline definitely seems its making a story out of a triviality. Maybe if the accused was a major donor/producer or something, then it would be more a matter of public interest.

Even if the person was, without context to what actually had this is clickbait like Andrew said.

Knowing Mayhem's typical opinions and leanings, I find it very suspect that he, even as a transvestite, would take up any position against this kind of movie to discredit it any way he can.

Basically it's as if the content of "Sound of Freedom" concerned his lifestyle and he needs to stab at it because of his own leanings and kinks. Mayhem, to be clear, I don't think anybody here cares that you are a transvestite, but we do care about your worldviews, which you are outing yourself on more and more. It's very, very strange that you would be the one to post this twisted news as if it were a victory for your lifestyle - it tells me that you might be part of the problem when it comes to keeping children safe.

So pretty much this movie is 'awful' cause the 'wrong person' directed it or whatever. If a leftie did it, then this movie, the exact same movie, would have been celebrated.

Reminds me of Cuties and how many people came to the defense of it cause the director was some black woman. You damn well know if a white guy was the director, there would be criminal investigations left and right and the left would be panning this movie as much as the right.

Stuff like this is why I hate identity politics. Like yo woketards, if your identity politics get to the point where you'd rather side with the actual CHILD TRAFFICKERS just because you don't want to admit that there are topics where you can actually find common ground with people on the right, then it's time to reevaluate yourselves.

Child trafficking is wrong. End of. It's not a left or right thing. It's a wrong thing no matter what side of the aisle you're on. If the 'oh-so-dreaded' right says child trafficking is wrong, I think it's pretty safe to agree with them on this one, lefties.

And not only that, but the entire foundation of your post relies on that the left woketards you are talking about are actually just going back and forth between facts to suit their BS. But it's worse than that - the pattern is emerging that the weirdos who seem to have no problems with harming or depicting children are the leftist weirdos.

The very nature of "Cuties" supports that as does what I've pointed out about Mayhem's nature and how he jumped on this here for his weird agenda.

It's an issue on both sides, and I will not deny the existence of sick disgusting preachers on the right abusing children, but it always seems that whenever the left gets called out on their grooming, rather than own up to it and admit there's a problem on their end, they always deflect and go into 'yeah but wh-what about the church huh???'

Because keeping "the church" in their back pocket means deflecting attention from a huge cross section of the leftist way of life which is much larger as a whole population than the cross section of priests who are a problem. The numbers and ratios of the reality of things is often lost on these people in their blanket statements - such as how Mayhem outted himself in a thread he created probably thinking he had a "victory".

This is why I said law of probability. Thousands of funders, some of them probably dubious. But I will agree, some bad apples paint the rest inappropriately in the media headlines at least these regards.

And if you continue to persisting this set of posts I will personally fly over and punch you in the see you next Tuesday… while I have no issues with the trans community, I’m certainly NOT one

I feel the real issue is the hatred for this movie is so strong by the left, they're not crazy enough to call a story BASED ON A TRUE STORY is a conspiracy theory... as if child trafficking does not exist.

The reaction I see on Twitter is pretty much 'one of the backers was charged with child kidnapping, so the whole movie's narrative falls apart.'

Y'know, as if somehow this news discredits the fact that child trafficking is a thing.

The woke left is so obsessed with getting their 'gotcha' that they don't understand wtf they're implying anymore.

Hopefully some day they'll realize that Hitler and Trump really REALLY liked breathing air and eating food and just stop. After all, they don't want to do something Hitler and Trump enjoyed doing, right? Let the trash take itself out.

It's ridiculous. More proof that these people are the same as all of human history with a need to "emit hate" somewhere. It's all the same - just redirected as "the new hate".

Yep. It turns out to be a child custody case, not actual kidnapping.

Much more interesting than this non-story are the claims of fake ticket sales.

That's kind of funny. A movie that had to be crowdfunded from like a Gofundme, that's perfectly believable that the studio would be buying up tickets to boost sales... but you suggest to these same people that maybe Disney was buying up seats for Captain Marvel, completely unthinkable!

I have a pretty good picture in my mind of who "everyone you know" might be, so that doesn't surprise.
