i had to laugh on tonites "to catch a predator" episode

they're playing text from the chat log transcripts and throw in an audible chuckle everytime "lol" appears

then they're talking about evidence found in some perp's car, and they mention KY jelly, and feel the need to further clarify it by saying "a sexual lubricant"

heh

[sanantoniosooner]

lol/chuckle

[Widescreen]

They just showed one perp that said GADOCADWI.

[SicEmBaylor]

That math teacher was obvious. If I had randomly seen that guy on the street my first thought would be, "child molester."

But I tend to make wild judgments about people I don't know based purely on their physical appearance.

So if you saw your own post here, what you you think think?

[Hot Rod]

All these guys are that dumb?! However, I love watching them get caught.

[jk the sooner fan]

i was really shocked at the reaction of the residents, trying to intefere with the sting and warning people that it was going on

wtf are they thinking?

[Boomer.....]

These people are so stupid. I love it when they ask if they are cops or are working with the people from Dateline. They are so suspicious, yet still come over.

They were told that all the criminals were in Dallas County and wouldn't come out to Collin County. Duh.

Really? Morans! The ones I've seen, they haven't really shown any neighbors although I often wondered what the neighbors thought while it was going on.

[8timechamps]

My favorite is always the "I was going to talk to them about God" excuse. I get physically ill when they start reading the IMs these sick-o's send.

Can't that be some sort of obstruction charge?

[jk the sooner fan]

one guy last nite said he was waiting for the girls mom to arrive so he could tell her what the girl had been doing

[Boomer.....]

or the "I was going to make sure that they were safe and that the doors were locked since no one was at home with them" excuse.

[jk the sooner fan]

Can't that be some sort of obstruction charge?

i would certainly think so, and i'm not sure why that wasnt pursued

[Widescreen]

Anyone see last night's episode? It took place in Murphy, TX (about 5 miles from my house). :eek:

And, no, I wasn't arrested.

The biggest deal was that the Asst DA of Rockwall County was busted and when they went to his house to arrest him, he shot himself in the head right in front of the cops. Unbelievable.

The DA's sister went off on the city council blaming them and Dateline for her brother's death. When they got the DA's computer, it had so much security on it that they had to send it to Sony to get it unlocked. It sounds like maybe he was involved in a lot worse stuff than just what he was caught doing on the show.

Oh, and another thing that came out that I thought was interesting is that in Texas, if you even solicit sex with someone who's underage online, it's the same as if you showed up at their door. I'm guessing there were a lot of perverts watching last night's show and doing some serious sweating.

[SicEmBaylor]

NEVERMIND!

[Widescreen]

Does anyone else hear an echo? ;)

[olevetonahill]

NEVERMIND!
Have you been charged yet ?

Typical. :mad:

[jk the sooner fan]

the DA was to blame for his own death

nobody else

[Sooner_Bob]

I heard about the DA on the way into work this morning. Anytime your PC is locked down tighter than an FBI laptop you're hiding something.

[the_ouskull]

I'm sure it's not kiddie porn and inappropriate IM chats with real and fake teens. Not at all. Probably no pics of the ex-DA's wang either.

I saw part of that one. WTF are these people thinking.. I think it should be the death sentence for these whack jobs. Maybe then they would think twice before trying it with a 13 year old or younger.

Hung by the genitals until dead.

so far the winnar of the 'best line' for me was when asked
<dateline>
'what are you doing here'?

<scum bag>
'i was just chatting with this girl online and she said she was home alone. so i came here and was going to wait for her parents to get home and inform them that their daughter was in adult chat rooms, and how dangerous that is.'

dateline didn't buy it either...

honorable mention was the clown when the cops were tackling him:

'but i havent done anything yet'!!!!

[Viking Kitten]

Is it me, or is the decoy actress they use kind of annoying?

"Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!"

I totally thought she was gonna jack those M&Ms last night. I would have.

[Dio]

Murphy? Holy crap- my cousin grew up there. I never thought they'd have any claim to fame other than being down the road from Southfork.

[jk the sooner fan]

i liked the super old perv last nite

"what are you doing here?"

"i didnt come here to have sex"

ummmm, yeah ok

[Widescreen]

Dude last night used the "I wasn't going to do anything because I'm impotent" excuse.

[Viking Kitten]

"what are you doing here?"

"i didnt come here to have sex"

ummmm, yeah ok

Yeah, that was the dude that brought the M&Ms. I about hurled when he was sitting on that stool, uh, fiddling, while the decoy went to "change." Ewwww.

[BigRedJed]

Fiddling? He brought his violin?

[jk the sooner fan]

yep, i kept thinking........."dang, he's probably some kid's granddad"

how proud they must be of ole gramps.....frickin freak show

i love that dateline is doing this, i really do........and i think its great that preverted justice is helping them

kudo's!!!

i wonder what percentage of pervs that are online are being watched on their network

Actually, I was wondering if there aren't some sickos out there kind of getting off on the whole thing, especially on the dramatized IM conversations. They get pretty graphic. But hey, if they are actually getting convictions out of it, and/or scaring creepy dudes away from trying anything for fear it might be a setup, then I'm all for it.

[jk the sooner fan]

originally there were no laws that you could be arrested for "just talking/chatting".......you had to actually go for the meet....its nice that they've changed that

i'd love to see a follow up episode where they look at actual sentences handed down.......my thoughts are that the first time offenders are getting off (jail time) pretty light

[Viking Kitten]

They actually brought that up last night; they said the longest sentence they've gotten so far is five years. I believe they said next week's show is going to go more into that. I'm interested to hear that information too. It seems like the fact that no minor was actually involved would be kind of a sticky point.

[fadada1]

depends on what side of the webcam you're on.

[jk the sooner fan]

well, thats the interesting thing about this....and i would expect somebody to challenge those statutes, because the reality is that they're talking to an adult........its all fantasy based.....

while i never participated in stings, we did have more than a few soldiers that found themselves in the similar types of situations.....never saw any of them get more than 6 months in jail

i think its great they've adapted the statutes to help law enforcement, but they need to put a heavier sting in the penalty part

[fadada1]

Fiddling? He brought his violin?
:D


that's rich.

[def_lazer_fc]

my fav incident i ever saw was some guy saying that IF he was coming over for sex, he would've taken a shower or washed his hair, which he had obviously done neither. case closed, you're free to go sir!

[Widescreen]

The one from Murphy a couple of weeks ago featured a guy that got busted in 2 different stings a week apart. I guess it was the felony so nice, he had to have it twice. Or something.

[olevetonahill]

Ive watched that show twice , Mainley I cause I forget to turn the Teli on .
Yall remind me when some thing good comes on .

[TopDawg]

:D


that's rich.

Yep. And it won't be long before one of them does bring a fiddle and tells them "I was just hear to teach her violin lessons."

[TopDawg]

And, no, I wasn't arrested.

Should you have been?

Considering the conversation, I would've picked a different thing to say "I wasn't" to.
