      The CP story isnt real but not for the reason you stated. Small counties that cant afford a jail do use prisons especially in the south. However the providence of the computer is either A not his because he didnt purchase it, or B his because he removed it from a pubic refuse. Both excuse his possession of the CP.

      That story is baloney. Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect people who discover criminal activity or evidence of criminal acts. Sure, they will investigate you (that’s sensible), but you will not be charged and jailed without evidence of participation or aiding in the crime. The storyteller is the main alibi. The guy rebuilding the computer also has a reputation for rebuilding derelict machines, so it would make sense he would eventually stumble upon someone’s nefarious deeds. Silly story.

    The first story reminded me of another I've heard in another video. While the topics were very different, a common theme occurred: vulnerabilities advertised. Never, ever let strangers know you're on vacation, and never advertise what expensive things you've bought--such as each leaving unbroken down boxes outside after Christmas. Break them down, put them inside out and recycle or trash. Not sharing these things can save you a lot of misery.

      Sounds like bike dad did assume some responsibility in that he realized he should have done more research on the bike he was planning to get from the start which is what contributed to his anger about the situation. Glad he finally got his daughter a decent bike and that his daughter's injuries weren't worse because of the first bike.

    Maybe the reason why your girlfriend left you because you’re someone who doesn’t notice anything wrong when watching a woman struggling against a murderer slowly suffocating her to death, until you realise that she’s already dead. Maybe this doesn’t “affect women more” so much as it really doesn’t bother you anywhere near as much as it should.

    Regarding story 6... yeaaah, I really don't care for the message that the writer is trying to spread here. Like dude, I'm sorry that this happened to your friend and that the justice system is such a sh*t show, but don't turn your anger and guilt into a "screw everything and everyone" attitude and turn into a selfish tool over it. Deleting CP doesn't help anyone but the perpetrator, and you could be allowing a potentially missing or abused child to remain in that situation; hell, even if it's snuff, you could be erasing the only chances of identifying the victim, since you have no idea as to how they ended up there and if they have loved ones looking for them. And really, do you honestly think that the kinds of people who prey upon children will just stop without some sort of intervention? Deleting evidence of these crimes just gives these monsters more chances to hurt more children, and I hope that this thought gives you pause.
    Instead of turning this situation into nihilism, get loud! Advocate for your friend, get your community on your side, put the police on blast for their mistreatment of him! Hell, go bigger and try pushing for better laws and regulations regarding people who report evidence of CP, so that others won't fear coming forward about it! Just please, don't indirectly punish victims and aid the perpetrators by destroying or refusing to turn in evidence.

    • @armyof100clowns6
      @armyof100clowns6 4 года назад +36

      That story is crap. Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect people who report criminal activity from being implicated in the crime. Being in possession of CP to turn it over as evidence, as in this case, would not be chargeable. Sure, he would be investigated - that makes perfect sense. He has a rock solid alibi in the form of the storyteller and a reputation for rebuilding derelict machines. It makes sense he would eventually stumble upon criminal evidence doing what he does. Silly story. I agree with your sentiment, though. As a survivor of childhood abuse I can attest that ignoring a crime does more prolonged damage than just recognizing it, acknowledging it, and removing the perpetrator(s) of it. There are actually laws in place in many States that make it a crime NOT to turn over evidence or report cases of child abuse or neglect.

      On the story itself, your comment echoes my own thoughts. This guy's distorted sense of justice and victimhood is excruciatingly misleading. However I'm sure that the story isn't real. Maybe he went through something like this but without those outlandish claims, and instead he proceeded to add all those dramatic BS. Personally speaking, i think this story should be removed. But that's just me and I won't blame Joel should he decide to keep it.

Not that I should engage in schadenfreude, but the guy who did it spent a number of years in prison on an unrelated charge (drunk driving, resulting in bodily harm). He’s free now, living a better life, and I wish him no harm.

So my friend insisted we go to the location (it was an old curtains shop or something) but when we arrived it was too sketchy so I thought it’s not worth it and quickly got my friend out.
