father was a cop. is it really surprise, he's a rapist, though¿!¿ the kid is on 4chan, is it really a surprise dad is a rapist & piece of absolute shit¿!¿
Yeah, my immediate thought when it got to the whole bit about flipping on the sirens for funsies. Like, great that the kid got to play with the lights and all, but man, those things have a purpose, and just abusing them for fun kind of ruins that and forces folk to not take an actual emergency situation seriously.
Uh, maybe I'm the only one who caught the part in the first half where he was abusing his position of trust as an officer of the state to endanger the lives of everyone else around him, but I guess I was less shocked than others here to see in the last part that he was a shithead.
I dunno, usually the fake ones end with, "And then I sent someone to therapy". Seriously, most of these end like that because they're still under the delusion therapy is for crazy people and that's the big W for whatever bullshit they pretend to do.
Nope, I also don't think it's very "cool" of a cop to drive his kid around with the lights and sirens on for no reason except the kid thinks it's exciting
I let my kid take my service pistol down to this cliff overlooking the beach and fire a few shots into the sand. He really loves watching the people laying on towels jump up and freak out. It's how we bond.
can the people who are surprised by the story in the pic that op posted, please explain to me how/why you didnt expect a horrible ending the moment the pic mentions a cop? the opp is the state/provincial police, by the way...
Sad part is if she didn't kill him, he'd probably never get in trouble. His cop buddies would defend him and fake evidence so when he goes to court the jury would see it and go "wow, I guess Officer Nice Guy is innocent!"
Yeah, people who commit crimes are *people.* they aren't boogie men, they're family members that show other members of their family real love and affection. It's entirely possible someone you love is a rapist, or a murder or a thief or an addict or a thousand other horrible things you never see because you are only there for the good parts.
That's why so many folklore stories involve monsters that imitate humans, or otherwise transform regular people into beasts. It can be more comforting to believe that your brother Jim was stricken by a curse that turns him into a rabid wolf on occasion than to believe that he's always been the kind of guy who was capable of killing his wife and kids.
This is exactly why sex crimes are especially complicated. The victim usually knows their attacker very well beforehand (as a family member, partner, teacher, coach) which makes it difficult for the victim to really comprehend when they've been wronged. Even if the victim understands, they often are made to believe that no one would believe such a person could do such a thing. This allows sex crimes to go unreported more times than not unfortunately.
Please, in the future, don’t list rapist and murderer next to addict as if they are the same. An addict could do awful things for a fix, sometimes even murder, but being an addict in and of itself is not a crime nor is it always a failing of character. It is not the same, or similar. So please, in the future, don’t do that.
I mean, the whole first part of the story is about a cop abusing his authority to recklessly dangerous shit with a kid in the car. That didn't go from wholesome to fucked up. That went from fucked up to more fucked up.
When I was a kid, there was another kid like this—his home life was terrible. In prison for murder now. Although, he's turned his life around in prison.
That is also sometimes true- sometimes it IS the sort of person you'd expect. Though sometimes huge assholes are on the whole decent in the ways that count too. J Jonah Jameson style.
Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes it's not. My neighbors have multiple teenage kids and I can hear them through 2 sets of exterior brick walls constantly screaming at each other. At least one of those kids is going to be in jail by 20 and spend his life cycling in and out of prison, i guarantee it.
If we only look out for claw and fang, we miss the malice hiding in someone's smile. It wasn't the devil that wormed his way close to my family before attacking me. It was a man, and he came with self-righteousness disguised as pride. Anger hiding as passion. And violence justified post-hoc as defense of his "pride." It's been 20 years, and still the worst part was being told I was lying because "he was a good guy who'd never do that." We don't need criptids to be monsters. Humans already are.
That's why the idea of "character witnesses" always sat weird with me. Sure, you can be a loving person to your favorite people, but that means nothing about how you'd treat an "other." Knew a guy that always happily did charity work because it was a social event for him with his church, was a loving father, doting husband, whole package. Never tipped, rolled coal, batted his drinking trash into the river, harassed minorities and heckled women. Beat an asian kid half to death and got community >
> service because of his "upstanding citizenry" attested by his pastor and drinking buddies - half the police force of the town. "Served" by attending church charity events that he would have gone to anyway. Always hoped he'd end up wrapping his lifted, dirty truck around a tree when he was drunk, but somehow drunk hicks have all the luck on the road. Rumors were he kept hurting people, but "he was such a good father."
It’s the old dating advice: if someone is nice to you on your date, but not to your waiter, they are not a nice person and you should not continue dating them.
Bruh. Same thought. It hurts my thought for the ones I know/knew. They were good people, not criminals, not malevolent in the least. Just troubled and it mostly hurt themselves.
I think the whole gist of their comment is that all of these people have secrets that you'd never guess about them because everyone is made of shades of grey and there's no such thing as black and white. So your lovely neighbor/teacher/brother might be an addict or might watch snuff porn or be a serial rapist or maybe their worst sin is *shudders* chewing with their mouth open. Regardless, life isn't as easy as trying to lump one group in as wholly bad because people are complex.
And for clarity, both my parents are addicts and I love them and they're doing amazing now, so I'm simply saying that I don't think the original commenter meant that addicts are morally as reprehensible as murderers or rapists, just that even some of the worst people probably have moments of joy and love and passion that make them relatable.
Well, socially speaking, people that seem dodgy and might lie and steal. When you look deeper, of course you see the real human struggle etc. Drug use is still misunderstood and prosecuted.
I get where you’re coming from, but I an addict. Been in recovery for thirteen years, but still an addict. Being grouped into one of the “horrible things,” being qualified as someone who seems dodgy, these are very real reasons that so many people feel crippling shame regarding their addiction and why many are hesitant to seek help for a very real disease. I commented because I was surprised to see the stigma being perpetuated here.
I agree with you. The stigma is terrible and the remarks were uncalled for. But our laws still criminalize what's basically mental illness bc our criminal law doesn't reflect well what is crime, and who is actually victimized by drug crimes. It's a shitty system and as an aside, I'm glad you were able to get sober. It isn't easy and you should be proud.
I respectfully disagree. I’m in recovery 5+ years and yes, addicts and alcoholics are self centered to the extreme. I don’t know anyone in recovery who thinks otherwise - it’s exactly why we’re in recovery, we don’t want to live that way anymore. The stigma of being an addict doesn’t keep ppl out of recovery… if someone wants to drink & use there will never be any shortage of excuses to do so. In fact, to de-stigmatize addiction would be an act of mass enabling.
Shame kept me away from the rooms for a long time, and I know a lot of other alcoholics and addicts who have said the same. Destigmatizing a disease, in my opinion, is not enabling. Destigmatizing- again, in my opinion- is not saying that active addiction is ok or that no harm comes from it, far from it. It is accepting that addiction is an illness requiring treatment the same way depression or cancer is. I’ve personally never found demonizing addicts to be a beneficial approach.
