      “These people” sounds a little bias eh? I’m so confused at the smear campaign for a movie that vilifies child trafficking.

        You want people to be nonbiased when it comes to child traffickers? This film does not vilify child trafficking, it’s an attempt to deflect attention from real child traffickers

        QAnon is bullshit. This movie is also bullshit. Jim Caviezel is batshit insane and believes that evil democrats are harvesting the blood of children so they can be wannabee vampires (blood libel anyone?) Fuck this movie and anyone involved in it.

        Picture this. A building is on fire. Standing outside of it is a person yelling loudly “I didn’t start this fire!”. Nobody is asking him if he started the fire. But he just keeps standing there, yelling at nobody in particular. He doesn’t seek cover or anything. He just tells any person he sees that the fire isn’t his fault.

        And you don’t believe this is odd behavior?

        Because the people who made it are literal child traffickers. Should we not be “a little bias” against them?

          Enlighten me, which person “made” the film that is a “litteral child trafficker”? If you are talking about the person listed in this gobbledygook title, go look into the case a little further before knee-jerk reacting and looking foolish like these other goobers.

        Do you mean the movie that’s founder was just caught kidnapping a child? Is that the movie you’re concerned about people smearing?

          Yeah 'he was a FoUNdeR" lol do a little research the guy donated $501 to get his name in the credits along with nearly 7000 other people and he’s not convicted of child trafficking he’s convicted of accessory to child kidnapping which if you care to read the details about the case is such a non issue when compared to child trafficking. He broke the law, lock him up let him serve his time, the fact that anyone is using some fucking nobody that donated $500 and calling him a founder to discredit the real issue of child trafficking is astonishing and disgusting.

          Think about what the “journalist/reporter” went through to obtain this information, they cross checked legal cases with all nearly 7k donation of $500 and up (so they could run the headline that he/she was a founder of the movie) and found a case with child kidnapping and ran with it and you bozos are eating it up. How about team red or team blue we fucking agree child trafficking is bad and that we should castrate and kill the people trafficking them and the pedophiles buying them?

            The issue isn’t with political partisanship. I think both sides all agree child trafficking is abhorrent, and you’d be hard pressed to find anybody on either side claiming otherwise.

            The problem is QAnon believers reject evidence that doesn’t support their world view and are politically biased. They aren’t making an educational public awareness movie, they’re making propaganda based on misinformed beliefs.

              I’m not really concerned with Qanon tbh and I’ve not kept up with their craziness for some time, I guess that’s what confuses me about the sensationalist title calling this a Qanon adjacent film, just screams smear campaign. What’s your thoughts on California failing to pass SB-14?

            I have a simpler theory. He got arrested and journalists checked his socials when trying to write a story. He talked about this very subject online. Hey, look! No sinister motives needed1

            Your version has journalists cross checking a list, trying their very best to discredit people involved in exposing the truth. That’s a sign that you’re not coming at this with clear thinking.

              You are right, mainstream media definitely isn’t stretching the title and article my mistake they are completely unbiased and there is no issue with child trafficking.

                Child trafficking happens predominantly via someone the child already knows (family or family-adjacent). It’s very rarely in the form that this film projects with random people snatching children off the street. The film depicts an almost fictional version of the issue. This is regardless of whatever good intent the backers may have had. But you have revealed yourself to be deeply enmeshed in your perception of the issue and I’m replying to point this out to others rather than to you.

        Because idiots that make anti-pedophilia part of their personality tend to call their political enemies pedophiles rather than go after the actual pedophiles. Not rocket science.

    Oh weird, I would have never guessed that the person who goes around yelling about how he isn’t a pedophile turned out to actually be a pedophile.

    It’s a good thing these people are stupid.

    Read the article, it’s not much more than clickbait on the surface. I hate QAnon but there is little info in the article about the “accessory to kidnapping” charges, which were “custodial” (done by a parent or guardian) and his defense lawyer said he was “essentially a landlord”.

    I can’t say with certainty because as I said there’s not much presented about the actual charges, but this article for sure seems like ragebait.

      I love the idea of someone being a landlord somehow exonerating them, lol. That literally makes me more suspicious.

      ETA also literally most kidnapping is custodial, that doesn’t make it OK. Still kidnapping.

        I’m guessing that the “just a landlord” unlocked a door so that the non-custodial parent could abduct the child(ren).

        That would be accessory to kidnapping.

          Yeah, but the problem is we don’t know. I’m not trying to defend the man, I’m trying to say that it would be typical of a media outlet to put in a headline that sounds good regardless of whether it’s technically true.

            Well, the article says he’s being charged as an accessory to custodial kidnapping, and his defense is that he’s “just a landlord”.

            That leads to one of two scenarios, either he unlocked a door that he shouldn’t have to allow the noncustodial parent to abduct the kid(s), or he rents to the noncustodial parent and refused to let the custodial parent retrieve the kid(s).

            The second would be a bit of a stretch to get charges of being an accessory to kidnapping. Not unless he helped hide the kid(s) and noncustodial parent. Which is also an option.

      Attacking the article so awkwardly doesn’t lend much credibility to your “I hate QAnon”.

      The headline is “A funder for ‘Sound of Freedom,’ a QAnon-adjacent film about child sex trafficking, has been charged with accessory to child kidnapping”.

      That’s as not clickbaity as you can possibly get. It’s a short, factual statement about something that happened.

      You could maybe stretch to it being “ragebait” on the basis that it may be overstating his role in the crime but even then, there was enough for them to charge him.
