Ban all crackers instead, bound to be more helpful than whatever the fuck this current plan is
what does shutting down sex work and bars do unless children are at bars & doing sex work???? classic carceral thinking, making whatever processes/institutions that enabled this more oblique and underground than transparent
These people are the scum of the earth and fucking disgusting to look at too. And before someone gets my ass on body shaming, actually come down to Latin America and observe the kiddy diddlers. None of them are attractive.
All the attractive foreign men who can easily get any woman they want either hire expensive escorts or use Tinder.
The plan itself is a ridiculous one and only looks to be an iron fist approach to something that isn’t going to be solved through aggressive measures like this.
At a press conference, Mayor Federico Gutiérrez said that he would be signing two decrees: one, prohibiting sex work in the area of Medellín for six months, and another, the enforcement of a 1 a.m. closing time for bars in the area for a month.
So now people will not be able to make a living because of this scumbag. Were I a sex-worker in the area, I'd be pretty pissed off. I don't know a better way to address this, I'm just saying that this is why we can't have nice things.
I always find not travelling to regions known for sex tourism then being caught in a hotel room with 11 & 12 year old children really helps to maintain my reputation of not being a paedophile.
But you do you.
My hopes are low, let's put it like that
But they were also pretty low for Robert Murat, so, I don't like media vigilantism anymore.
Not really comparable between the media feeding frenzy surrounding the McCann disappearance and a US sex tourist being caught in a hotel with 2 children.
I just picked the first one when you google "media ruined life"
It's a matter of principle
There's hundreds of examples, pick your favorite
Again, not really comparable.
He is not someone like the guy framed by all the Reddit imbecilic sluths after the Boston marathon bombings, nor is he like Christopher Jefferies, accused by the media of murdering one of his tenants, just because he's a bit eccentric.
The guy was caught in a hotel room with children in an area known for sex tourism & he chose to bolt the country after his arrest.
It's not like it's an farcical comedy where a series of events transpired and his trousers fell down just as the police entered the room.
If you don't want your name released after being arrested in a hotel with local children entirely unrelated to you, then maybe don't invite local children up to your hotel and be getting arrested.
Like I said previously, I find it incredibly fucking easy not to be a child raping paedophile. It's so easy that very little thought goes into it so I don't have to deal with the consequences of even it being inferred despite no evidence of any crime having taken place.
So much so that I have zero fucking empathy for anyone that is.
Not comparable
It's a matter of principle, pick any of hundreds of examples if you want a comparison
Again, not comparable
Some people
If I had to pick which person is exhibiting
behavior in a discussion where one side is playing devil's advocate for a dude who had 2 small children in his hotel room in an area known for kidnapping and child sex abuse, and another is saying the obvious despite not technically having strong evidence beyond the previously stated, my finger's on the guy that doesn't understand burden of proof.
The proof is the article, the burden of proof to provide a comparable case of someone who happened to be doing the most suspicious thing possible and was crucified by the media, yet turned out to be innocent, is on you.
There's confusion. I've maintained that to me, the goalpost is conviction. I cited an article that's less damning for sure but I still motivate my goalpost by principles, not examples. It's simpler to rely on an already established baseline, which is the justice system's convictions, and I'm okay if that means that sometimes, a very plausibly guilty man benefits from undeserved anonimity
But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments
People like to be tough on crime, but I don't like people who feel the need to do justice themselves
But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments
Homeowners who murder people should be thrown in jail.
Pedophiles should be thrown in jail.
Very easy and simple to say.
I don't understand how you gotta keep running defense for pedophiles.
We all know exactly why this user feels the need to defend pedophiles. We're just too polite to say it.
I understand the burden of proof but the guy isn't in a court.
He travelled to an area known for sex trafficking and was caught in a hotel room with 2 children he had no earthly connection to and was arrested by police. He decided to bolt the country knowing what he had done was wrong.
It amazing how you keep jumping to different arguments defending the guy when you realise just how fucking tenuous your point is.
Let's examine something else here: nowhere have you shown one iota of concern for those children. Nothing about living in an area with obvious poverty that they are easily swept up by sex tourists and abused.
Not anything for the sex workers who are suffering the brunt of the fallout from this with the police chief using it to beat them with.
You're only concern is for an American, very likely white collar worker who has travelled overseas to an area known for sex trafficking and has been caught in a hotel with two children.
That is where your concern lays.
He took two 12- and 13-year-old girls into his hotel room located in an area known for sex tourism so he could talk with them about how dangerous it is to go into hotel rooms with strangers, he totally wasn't going to do anything else, he swears.
Or perhaps he was framed? Or extorted by the guy who reported it? Or, he's just a pedophile. Probably the latter
That's why we rely on courts and allow people to defend their side of a story

The events began on the night of March 27th at around nine o’clock, when Livingston attempted to enter his room at the Gotham City Hotel in Medellin with what appeared to be two underage girls. A hotel staff member prevented their entry, so Livingston and the girls left the hotel located in the famous ‘El Poblado’ district.
Hours later, around four o’clock in the morning on March 28th, with no security checks at the establishment’s entrance, the American managed to enter his room with two different underage girls aged 12 and 13, as evidenced by security camera footage.
Following an anonymous call to the national police, the authorities arrived at the hotel and inspected the premises but found no evidence of the accused touching the minors, and both girls denied being touched. The 36-year-old suspect was detained for 12 hours at a Protection Transfer Center (CTP) but was released hours later, allowing him to return to his country on Monday, March 29th. The girls were seen by security cameras leaving the hotel calmly, seemingly counting several Colombian 50,000-peso bills.
Did someone frame him into twice bringing underaged girls to his hotel room in an area known for sex trafficking, including putting used condoms in his wastebasket? Or do you think it's the far simpler explanation that he is a pedophile who was caught in the act?
You do not, in fact, need to run defense for pedophiles.
He was always probably a pedophile, we've read the same article
You still can't let mobs do the justice
we've read the same article
I don't think we have, because if you did, you would have read that Columbia has issued an arrest warrant for this man. So no, it is not mob justice when people spread the name of the pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston of Cleveland, Ohio, who has a Colombian arrest warrant issued for him because he, over the course of one night, attempted to bring at least four different underage girls into his hotel room in an attempt to have sex with them.
You keep defending this pedophile and it's creepy as fuck. Reconsider the decisions you've made that have brought you to this point in your life.
The arrest warrant and the 2 additional children were not in the original article
Honestly if there's an arrest warrant and the dude fled it gets harder to defend a burden of proof that's hanging on a system that he manages to evade, though we've seen people genuinely just going back home and getting a warrant after but let's put that aside.
On one hand i appreciate the deterrent that publishing his name is to other sex tourists, but on the other if he gets beaten to death because of it, or worse, some guy with the same name - I'm not fond of that either.
All that while honestly there's already systems in place for fleeting criminals, not sure there's much benefits feeding his real name to the mob in a very well referenced newspaper.
The man, who has been identified as [full name]
Do you mean known pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston of Fort Lauderdale, FL? The one depicted in this photo of a passport? Is that the guy we're talking about here?
Just clarifying.
Further clarification: while he fled from Columbia to Fort Lauderdale, FL, the known pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston actually lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
I'm glad someone is finally brave enough to say it, the persecution of pedophiles has gone too far
I've never used archlinux
People who use arch don't come here they roll their own instance
Iusearch.fyi is speedy and blocks no other instance except the pedo ones so it's the best if you want a self-defined experience on the fediverse without rolling your own lemmy docker
I love how you went on a little nerd tangent about containers instead of addressing the fact that you're defending a pedo
There's not much more to say, I just don't believe in mob justice. If they're not convinced back there 10 posts ago they won't be now
"Don't do justice yourself" was never a popular proposition
I've also said that slightly below, so.
Of course, it's an instance filled with far left communists who regularly discuss communism and mods ban people who comment liberal and reactionary views
This is like the second terrible take I've seen from the iusearchlinux.fyi instance in a span of minutes holy shit.
What about the pedophiles story? where he had two young girls who were not his wards in a hotel room for some innocent reason
Maybe giving out his full name without him being caught doing anything illegal nor contacting him to get his version of the story is a little fucked up
No, he was caught in a hotel room with a 12 year old and 13 year old girl. I hope that, whatever you're imagining might happen to him as a result of this, something twice as bad happens to him every day for the rest of his (hopefully short) life
The only punishment he should get is a few years behind bars, and his fellow inmates knowing why he's in there.
They'll take care of the rest.
I was confused by reading it "after US citizen found with two girls at a hotel".
I think I was thinking about adult tiny woman. But now I realise where the problem is.
Wtf is wrong with people who are pedos. There must be some chemical imbalance that we should be able to fix by the time kids are 10 and never become pedos. I mean it's wishful thinking but damn it's 2024!
Sex pests are a major export from western nations to the rest of the world, it's about time this infestation started being addressed.
