Tom Humphries thread

[Rocko]

@caoimhaoin

The McCann case has had an extrordinary impact on the health of kids.

It has help create a culture of helicopter oarents and in turn kids are not allowed play freely and learn by themselves.

Many oarents when asked reference “what happened the McCanns”.

Thing is, all stats show that nearly all violent crime against minors and indeed against anyone is down.

Could it not be that the stats are down because of the vigilance of parents?

e.g. When smoke alarms reduce the numbers of fatalities from fires - that doesn’t mean that smoke alarms are unnecessary - it proves their effectiveness.

[caoimhaoin]

Exactly.
For every silly girl who gets themselves in a bad spot there are 20 smart girls who avoided scumbags like this.

They listened to people who warned them and had a good level of character assessment or emotional intelligence to get themselves out of potentially dodgy situations

[caoimhaoin]

Thats a good question and there is likely something in it but its probably gone too far over the other side.

However i do note a slight readjustment with the newer parents who seem to be learning from the parents of the say present 12-30 year olds.

The fear doesn’t match the reality i suppose is what i am saying

@gilgamboa

Huh? Im blaming nobody and was adressing flatty around his post.

Now i havent engaged in any argument with you here and have no intention of doing so. Now fuck off and annoy someone else

You ascribed contributory negligence to the rape victim Hook was talking about.

@Sidney

No I didnt. I referenced contributory negligence to flattys pal who had the car robbed which insurance didnt cover. I then said this was essentially the point Hook had tried to make…

I didnt attribute anything to any victim

It’s not exactly Fr. Brendan Smyth we’re dealing with here though is it? It’s not even Bill Wyman and it ain’t Jerry Lee Lewis either. While I did think “goodness, gracious” to myself when I found out who it was, the way some of these 14 year olds tart themselves up nowadays would give even the most sensible middle aged man great balls of fire.

It’s a little known fact that Alan Shatter signed the “half your age plus seven” rule into law immediately when he became Minister for Justice. Howvever Tom Humphries should still be in the clear under the new law as a quick calculation shows: 14/2=7 7+7=14 He’s in the clear by 34 years.

@Nembo_Kid

No I consistently talk about the personal responsibility of any adult to keep themselves out of harm’s way.

Translation: “The victim of a serious crime has a responsibility to not be the victim of a serious crime.”

@Nembo_Kid

In this case the woman acted very recklessly by going back to a stranger’s house while under the influence of alcohol.

She did not act “recklessly”.

Consensual sex is not “reckless”.

Rape is reckless.

@Nembo_Kid

That’s doesn’t mean she is to blame, she deserved it or anything like that.

You imply it.

@Nembo_Kid

But she certainly left herself vulnerable through her own choices.

Again you imply she’s to blame.

@Nembo_Kid

Rapists are going to rape, people have got to be aware in looking after themselves.

You haven’t answered the question I previously put to you:

Should all women assume they will be raped when they go to a bedroom in the company of a man?

@Nembo_Kid

The girl was not looking after herself.

Again, more implied blame.

im physically sick reading this

Journalist Investigated over Teenage Girl

Thrawneen is making an interesting argument. He isn’t defending what Humphries is alleged to have done. If the allegations are true they are indefensible especially the violation of trust aspect and they’ll result in a jail sentence and deservedly so. But Thrawneen is right that many 14 year olds are sexually active. The story in the Sunday World says the sex was consensual. There’s no evidence or hint in the story that this carry on ever happened with any other girls. Humphries coached for a g…

You’re one sad cunt @HBV, you really are.

That sounds like victim blaming to me

Are you not completely contradicting yourself there?

You say she isn’t to blame and in the very next sentence you say she left herself vulvernable?

[Sidney]

@HBV

You’re a poster with a consistent track record of misogyny, racism, and whatever other bigotry you’re having yourself, having been banned for such multiple times, and have proven in your time on this forum that you’re an actual danger to women and whoever else crosses your path, not least your kids.

That you’re reduced to digging up a couple of childish jokes from six and a half years ago sums up the level you’re at.

[farmerinthecity]

Would you ever fuck off?!

[HBV]

child abuse is not a joke, you wrote those words, you are a dangerous man full of contradictions you writes so much shit you have fouled yourself in spectacular fashion here.
you are a very dangerous man.

You’ve just done it again.

“essentially the point Hook tried to make” - ie. contributory negligence.
