Thursday, June 26, 2008

NBC Universal settled a $105 million lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed a Dateline NBC: To Catch A Predator sting drove her brother to kill himself. Patricia Conradt's brother fatally shot himself after being accused of engaging in a sex chat with an adult posing as a 13-year-old boy.

"To Catch a Predator" made me sick the one time I watched. What sactimonious pervert could possibly enjoy watching someone get set up like that?

Only someone sick enough to have a twisted need to feel superior to some loser sad sack lured into commiting a felony.

This is TV at it's worst. The producers should be castrated.

Yes, there are persons that, if given the
opportunity, would cut an unauthorized slice,
but this show is voyerism at it's worst.

Chemically or using the Lorena Bobbitt method?

They settled this shit? Fucking dickless queers at NBC... Her brother was a fucking deviant. He killed himself cuz he got caught trying to fuck a 13 year old boy... if not for NBC he probably would have gone out and actually done it.

Fuck him, fuck her, fuck NBC...

Yeah, that show that exposes and arrests men who try to have sex with kids should go...

BTW You can also see Sagmain's posting on the Justin Timberlake fan board under the name JustinLookalike14

It was poor TV but the sting should continue without TV. Get thoes child screwers off the street.

Perverted justice is still going I think, they hand over transcripts of their chats to the cops.

Everyone should ask themselves why this guy shot himself... He was a prosecuter. He knew he was guilty, that he would be found guilty, and he knows what happens to sexual deviants in prison... so he shot himself. His actions are an admission of his guilt... "To Catch A Predator" should be cheered for its actions, not paying out hundreds of millions to the families of men who wanted to have sex with boys.

Agreed.

...Whaaaa?

Did Spud just agree with Sniper about sommat?

Wotta novel sensation.

Be Well.

I believe NBC was wrong to make a program like this. I believe it puts the lives of the Predators Family members in jepoardy. While true the Ultimate responsibility rests with the predator their family members are innocent. Some vigilanty could hunt down these Predators and kill their family members in retaliation for the Predators actions.

Perverted Justice - they should be investigated for playing little boyz and girls.

The problem I have with NBC is they use entrapment.
I bet some of these guys would never do this but NBC is hanging a carrot in front of these guys.

Everyone agrees it is easy not to pick up a prostitute, but approached by one at the wrong time can make things difficult.

I have a marijuana arrest from age 19 from an entrapment situation that Interpol used to harass me 29 years later crossing the Canadian border a year or two after 911 for possible drug charges...

Right or wrong, karma is reaped by all party's involved:>)

"it is easy not to pick up a prostitute, but approached by one at the wrong time can make things difficult."

Let it out, Rick...you're among friends....

"Did Spud just agree with Sniper about sommat?

Agreed!!!!!

WTF did Gimme just agreed with Spudmeister????

Be well, raise hell.

I think NBC Universal should have to pay out 105 million for running a cheesy entrapment show instead of doing the investigative reporting needed to convince America to investigate and impeach Bush.

What has this country come to that it sits and watches pseudo-reporters like Stone Phillips while Dubya and Co. run America off the rails with very little hard news reporting being done about it?

P.S. - Lest anyone misunderstand, I'm no fan of child molesters, and they should be stopped, apprehended, all of that.

But I wouldn't have minded the didoes of DubyaCo getting at least equal time. Jeez.

Those stings netted some truly pathetic perverts but the reality is that some people start screwing little girls and boys only to escalate to more violent and sick crimes later. Like it or not, they did net a bunch of perverts that probably needed to be caught. I applaud their efforts.

I thought the program was fascinating. Chat rooms are dangerous places for teens and, if nothing else, some parents may have learned a thing or two about the dangers of cyberspace.

MSNBC probably crossed the line when they showed up with TV cameras to film the arrest of the guy in this lawsuit. He should have had his day in court. The presumption of innocence was completely thrown out the window in this case, all for the sake of ratings.

Nonetheless, I hope they continue these stings ~ public lynchings though they may be.


NBC and sister MSNBC- 'Creating the News'

I don't understand what MSNBC did wrong.

After this settlement I am sure the high powered attorneys will keep his face off of NBC.

This just goes to show the effectiveness of these types of shows, a diddler with high paid attorneys is safe, but a poor slog is exposed.

Leave the criminal justice system to the police and district attorneys, a network has no place in it.

"Curious to know whether someone with enough high powered lawyers can hold off the network."

Someone with enough high power lawyers can do just about anything...just ask OJ and Robert Blake.

How is this entrapment? These guys are already in the chatrooms. They continue on after they are told the person is underage. And a good majority of them drive over to the house.

How is this entrapment?

it isn't... its not even close. They are seeking out kids, they driving to their house, and almost always following some instruction like bringing condoms or beer or drugs... hell they even had one episode where a dude walked into the house bareassed naked.

This show was doing a service to our society, but this twat and some scumbag lawyer probably just ended it... great

Note to self: The people that are against this show are secondary handles of dethpud.

I don't even care if they show it on TV. But keep doing the stings!

We have a heinous problem in this country: pedophilia, and no politician wants to deal with it.

Can't make money combating it like you can with drugs, I guess.

It was poor TV but the sting should continue without TV. Get thoes child screwers off the street.

Missed that post. Sez it all. Newsworthy flag.

The only question of legality I have here:

Is it legal to show the faces of people on camera, who are not famous, without their signed consent?

Cops and shows like that blur out peoples faces all the time. Why not TCAP?

But really, All I care about is that perverted justice keeps going(and it will) and that NBC sets up a charitable fund to keep them going forever.

Men who drive 100 miles to sleep with 13 year olds need to be in prison.

Fuck him, fuck her, fuck NBC...

Agreed.

Bani,
Man, I was just going to replace all my lightbulbs with these things. thanks for the info once again.

Right or wrong to show this guys face, who thinks that by giving this guy's family money any wrongs are made right. Why not charge NBC with a crime if it's wrong? In a not so indirect way you are actually financially rewarding the family of a child molester for him being a child molester. Our compensation culture makes me more ill than these creeps.

This shit is way out of hand. Watched COPS a while back. Little hick town had an undercover she-cop parading her ass in cutoff jean shorts with both cheeks hanging out. SHE was the one actually approaching these old farmers in their pickups. The redneck cops were cuffing these old geezers that they all knew by their first names. Fucking sheriff was an attention whore. I felt sorry for these old guys. They looked totally bewildered.

I never understood the mass appeal and I know the people making the show only care about money but the side effect was that dangerous pervs were being arrested and others were given a good reason not to act on their urges.

That shitbird who killed himself did the world a favor. NBC sucks for caving.

Those who say this was entrapment are kid diddlers. Oh yeah, Sagmain is a kid diddler too. Goatboob is a kid diddler, but not with human kids.

Dead on, Sully at 11:25AM.

Monte, why do you continually persist in telling such wicked lies about other people? What is it in you that is so distorted that you make such reckless charges?

Listen. What if I said that your wife whispers to to your daughter to be nice to daddy in special ways. What if that was just a taste of the slander I decided to hurl at you on a regular basis? How would that make you feel?

Yet you persist in slandering others by calling them pedophiles. I see you do it all the time. I'm calling you out on this. You must stop it. Now. Don't do it. You are hurting others, and you are hurting yourself.

This is not a game.

NBC is own by GE who plans make billions of dollars on their Green scam. I am sure a few million is not going to hurt them. Beside, destroying people is how you get ahead in the news business.

He didn't show up at the house! Maybe tis financial sting will cause the heartless "journalists" to reconsider their tactics. We should severely punish child molestation, but I think we need to reconsider theses entrapping tactics. The salient point here is: He didn't show up! This is outrageous journalistic and police stupidity!

My question is, what was in the exchange? Did the posing officer invite him over and he then cut off conversation? Was the exchange that far over the line? We don't know. We didn't sit on the jury. Did the TV station go too far, by labeling him as a child molester? I know of a young man who had a relationship with a girl 2 years younger than himself when he was 18. He is now labeled as a predator. We sometimes hunt witches people.

Montecore's an idiot!
