"I will never try to go out and try to do anything nice for anyone again."

Yup. Sounds about right. This is just too sad.

[–]Machnow 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

sad indeed, but even more sadly...not that unusual.

[–]whelponry 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The statists have won another victory.

They never wanted people to have a community. They wanted total dependence on the state for all of their needs and for people to be paranoid in their suspicions of others, particularly when charity is involved and particularly if a man is engaged in such an activity of caring. The idiot who tore the teddy bear apart to see if it contained something nefarious is probably the same type of idiot who would call the cops on a kid's roadside lemonade stand.

This is Stalinist-level bullshit here, and we're just talking about teddy bears. We need to fight this, or we won't have a nation to speak of.

Cronkhite said he is a veteran Marine and a retired Chicago police officer and had fun approaching shoppers with children in store parking lots, people jogging along the streets, and children gathered with adults at bus stops or picnic tables.

To be fair, he admits he had fun terrorizing kids and their parents by handing these bears out, as that effect is the logical extension of his acts, and he admits he had fun.

[–]BaldursShield 11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link

"Terrorizing." You fucking what mate?

[–]bufedad 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

You have to remember /u/mwobuddy is a pretty solidly anti-male troll. He/She only sides with men when they absolutely have no other choice.

You ever play the devil's advocate? Its fun.

[–]bufedad 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

There's quite a difference between devil's advocate and inequality advocate.

false.

[+]mwobuddy -17 points-16 points-15 points 9 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

In the original sense. Not in the newfangled 21st century sense. It is clear they were terrorized because of the induced fear and the way they kept calling the police, or even ripping up the bears immediately after he handed them to the child. Think about the social cues the kids will pick up on, seeing the fear grip their parents. Watching the police calls or the bears being ripped up because the parents were that afraid of a strange man giving out presents. Think of the social time bomb that sets up in the minds of those kids, who might live to reenact this due to seeing their parents do it, or might develop fear of any strangers with a penis.

That sounds like terror to me. And his actions were directly linked to the communal effects. He literally terrorized people by handing out teddy bears.

Just like looking at a woman can terrorize her with "stare rape".

[–]hork23 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

His goal is not to instill fear nor to push a political or ideological agenda so this isn't terrorism on his part. Also, the fact that the public has demonized and lied about men's actions always being nefarious is also not his doing. Their irrational fear is not his fault but he should learn how the stupid public (mostly women voicing the complaints) will respond to such a thing.

[+]mwobuddy -7 points-6 points-5 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

His goal is not to instill fear nor to push a political or ideological agenda so this isn't terrorism on his part

So attempting to push the ideological agenda of being nice isn't pushing an agenda?

[–]TheSummerain 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Pushing the agenda of being nice? WTF?

His only agenda was to give away teddy bears.

[–]BaldursShield 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Ah I see, you're taking the term and its action, in this sense, to its literal meaning despite its extremely negative connotation?

[–]mwobuddy -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Where do you think it came from?

[–]BaldursShield 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

How do you think "terrorists" are defined? What makes a terrorist?

[–]TheSummerain 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Stare rape?

WTF? No such thing.

But feel free to make up more fake things to be upset over.

[–]unpicked-username 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

and he admits he had fun.

Is giving to other people not fun?

Is the man not allowed to have fun with children by giving them free toys?

[–]TheSummerain 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Is giving to other people not fun?

Guess they never heard it is better to give than receive. Or never experienced the joy of giving another person a present.

[+]mwobuddy -6 points-5 points-4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Is giving to other people not fun?

I don't know. Give your entire bank account to someone else tomorrow and we'll see.

Is the man not allowed to have fun with children by giving them free toys?

Nah, that's terrorizing the parents because they think he means to have his way with their innocent little bodies.

[–]unpicked-username 6 points7 points8 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Give your entire bank account to someone else tomorrow and we'll see.

That man is giving the teddies away because he wants to. Ignoring the fact that my bank account is empty, I don't want to give away that much wealth at this point in time.

Nah, that's terrorizing the parents because they think he means to have his way with their innocent little bodies.

This is why it is a mens rights issue. If a woman was giving away teddy bears, would you call it creepy? Probably not.

[–]TheSummerain 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I do not think the word terrorize is the right word you are looking for.

[–]mwobuddy 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Actually, you're the one rigidly sticking to the limited understanding that terrorize only comes with bombs and Allahu Akbars.

http://katu.com/news/nation-world/clowns-terrorized-children-as-they-made-their-way-to-school

https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/terrorize

fill with terror; frighten greatly

Synonyms: terrify, terrorise

Types: panic cause sudden fear in or fill with sudden panic

Type of: affright, fright, frighten, scare cause fear in

If mothers started calling the police immediately because of a strange man handing out toys to children, if they rip up toys in front of their children looking for hidden cameras or syringes, yes, they were terrorized.

It may not have been his intention, but it is what he caused.

[–]TejrnarG 23 points24 points25 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I remember a few months back I was approaching the queue at the counter in the supermarket. A woman left her kid in the buggy to go grab something in the rack two metres away. When I then queued up behind the buggy, the kid looked at me and smilled. I smilled back and said something like "whats up with you". When the mum realised she came back immedeately and stared at me as if I had just done something terrible.

The social bias is incredible.

Now what was that about junior league femiloons demanding "Misandry" is a made up word?

[–]feedmecarrots 12 points13 points14 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This deserves prominance as a news story. Calling the cops because a man is hgiving away teddy bears? Thsi is sick.

[–]ThePigmanAgain 9 points10 points11 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, to be fair, one of the Teddy Bears he was giving away does look suspiciously like a baby!

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That'll teach him.

Cue more articles about how America is so unkind and no one talks to each other anymore.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

whats funny is that men have no issues (or should i say rarely ) with talking to other men. it is women that are all butt hurt so in short men need to just no longer help or even deal with them and see how long it takes for them to scream "why is no one paying attention to me"

[–]mwobuddy 7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

"We have not been told that this man threatened anyone or tried to lure students to him, and adults have been present during two encounters," the letter said, "however, it raises a concern as we want to be sure our students are safe."

There's a silver lining; as least no kids are getting raped by the pedophile child molester sex predator hiding around every corner.

Has anyone got a screenshot of those FB posts and the hysteria?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

what a hillaryish thing to do..

[–]rg57 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Even if he was a pedophile, all he did was hand out teddy bears, for his elderly dad.

We cannot solve misandry without first stopping the hysteria.

[–]KamiNekoSama 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Reminds me of the earful i got from a mother once at Walmart.

[–]EndoveProduct 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

What happened?

[–]KamiNekoSama 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Was shopping at Walmart, came across a crying kid, seemingly alone. Some where around 5 years old. I approached him asked what was wrong, said he was lost. Mom came up about that point, or i assume mom at least, screaming for me to get away her child, started calling me a pedo and a harrasser. I shrugged it off and went back to shopping.

It is a double edge sword. If i help a child i am a pedo out to get your kids. If i don't i am a horrible human being for not being willing to help a child.

This is what they're afraid of.

Here's a gem recommended by 18 others in the comments section.

At this point, with allegations of sexual assault in the military, on college campuses, in corporate boardrooms, on factory floors, in athletics and everywhere else it seems, shouldn't we at long last be having a national discussion on male behavior?

Read that carefully.
