Sometimes, a guy really is just looking for his dog

2013-09-28T15:43:32+00:00

It turns out the adult man we assumed was going to vaginally and possibly anally rape unsuspecting 12 year old girls was in fact searching for his lost canine. The individual has been chastised and in the future should be more cognizant when being within earshot of female human beings.

There is no criminal activity associated with this incident - just extremely poor judgement on the part of the individual involved.

At what point did he make this 'extremely poor judgement'? He's just looking for a dog and asked some people if they'd seen it.

You've heard it all before: some negro is lurking around in the parking lot trying to "find his keys" when really he's looking to ambush and rob some poor unsuspecting white couple.

Well it turns out this particular negro really was looking for his keys. After being detained and beaten for several days police were able to corroborate his story.

But remain vigilante for such dastardly negros in the future! You should never assume they are being honest and law abiding.

So we now live in a world where it's more likely that a man is a pedophile than that he actually lost his dog? BTW, when did this "lost dog" thing become a trope, I always thought it was "do you want a candy, little girl" thing.

BTW, what was his "poor judgement"? Not recognizing his status as a social leper because he has a penis?

BrambleEdge · 2013-09-28T16:28:45+00:00

Poor judgement, victim-blaming.

crisbot · 2013-09-28T14:35:52+00:00

Did he find the dog?

WhatIsTheWorldComing · 2013-09-28T14:13:52+00:00

The school moved all outdoor activities inside just to be safe..

That's pretty scarey.

achshar · 2013-09-28T14:42:01+00:00

That's pathetic, why is the default setting now "pedophile" for any man interacting with young people?

angryman22 · 2013-09-28T16:23:46+00:00

"Hello police? There's this man..."

"STOP RIGHT THERE, GUILTYYYYYYY!!!!"

claybratt · 2013-09-28T15:34:09+00:00

"They were able to confirm the male's story?"

seems kinda dehumanising what if the article said "The female passing by saw the exchange and intervened"

I don't know seems like odd language, maybe getting worked up over nothing

asmartgoat · 2013-09-28T13:18:58+00:00

He obviously lost his dog and used it as an opportunity to be a pedophile... /s

SirScreams · 2013-09-28T16:44:46+00:00

So did he find his dog?

deadalnix · 2013-09-28T15:01:31+00:00

Ho shit, a satirical online newpaper wrote almost the same story (in french) : http://www.legorafi.fr/2013/09/27/le-mec-chelou-dans-une-camionnette-qui-demandait-son-chemin-a-des-enfants-demandait-bien-son-chemin-a-des-enfants/

I would translate the title by "The weird guy in his van who asked his way to children was in fact really lost". The article describe how everybody start to freak out. This news paper use to make fun of our behavior by exaggerating them, but in this case, it seems it wasn't enough exaggeration.

AgentCircle · 2013-09-28T18:44:23+00:00

When did everyone start assuming the worst in people? To the point where they had to move recess inside and cancel sports practice just because one guy in a truck actually lost his dog? Why has "don't trust anyone" become the default here?

UDT22 · 2013-09-29T02:13:07+00:00

If you happen to be male, you are guilty until proven innocent. It is what it is. About 8 years ago I was taking pictures of my then 10 year old granddaughter cheerleading with other girls at their junior football game on a sunny Sunday afternoon when an assistant coach called the Police and had me arrested. As this was going on, my daughter at less than 5 feet and about 100 pounds ran up to the cop and kicked him in the balls. And my granddaughter kicked him in the leg. I've never been prouder of them.

FeminismIsMisogyny · 2013-09-28T21:27:33+00:00

LOL I love how the poor judgment is placed on the man looking for his dog and not the cunt who reported him for no reason. What a joke.

Irregular_Form · 2013-09-28T21:20:42+00:00

As a father, I'd want the teacher to be weary of any adult approaching my child while at school... and I don't think the issue of the teacher calling it in to be checked out is a bad thing.

I think the wording of "poor judgement" could of been left out.. and I also think they talk up social media as a good thing, it can also lead to quick and forever character assassination, specially of a man. So they should be a bit more careful in that regard.

x30Jx · 2013-09-29T00:19:32+00:00

This incident is a prime example of how social media can assist law enforcement in quickly disseminating information and resolving cases," police reported.

Interesting, since the information being disseminated was later proven totally inaccurate and founded in fear and paranoia. Had a name or an address come out, it could have resulted in vigilante 'justice'.

It's actually a prime example of why the public at large actually shouldn't be trusted with such information.

Funcuz · 2013-09-29T01:27:04+00:00

Poor judgement ? Extremely poor judgement ?

Next time I guess he's supposed to put an ad on the front page of the local paper telling everybody that he plans to conduct a search for his lost dog on the 6th between the hours of 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Hopefully he doesn't forget to alert the police in advance as well.

just_an_ordinary_guy · 2013-09-29T03:25:44+00:00

I live near here. This is the local news paper, and I assume OP lives in or around here too.

My brother posted the link on his facebook page. I commented "If it was a woman looking for a lost dog, no one would think it is strange. It's a sad world we live in when men are streotyped just for being a man." One of his femenazi friends replies "WHITE MALES HAVE IT SO HARD ZOMG."

I blows me away that people cannot see or ignore this fucking stereotyping.

KingScrapMetal · 2013-09-29T05:42:59+00:00

...just extremely poor judgement on the part of the individual involved.

Are you fucking kidding me? You stupid fucking police force. Guys, whatever you do DON'T TALK TO TWELVE YEAR OLDS, THAT MAKES YOU A RAPIST. I can't believe they blame the man for any of this instead of the incompetence of the police force. Sure, he drove away, but it shouldn't have launched this level of stupidity out of a city. Fuck, I never get this angry over something, but this is literally the stupidest thing I've seen in the longest time.

digital_mana · 2013-09-29T00:08:10+00:00

FEEEEEL the rage.... The other day I saw two young kids I'd never seen on my street before walking by together looking lost. I thought about it for a second and just drove by them because I didn't want to be accused of talking to kids.

Banana_racist · 2013-09-28T21:31:24+00:00

So instead of acknowledging our failures, lets then redirect the problem into saying that it was a useful test for future guys looking for his dog!

Well, coming from a background where multiple people in my family are school teachers or work in schools, this is a really thoughtless thing for the guy to do. I'll cut him some slack since he's lost his dog and is probably upset and not thinking straight, but what he should have done is walked into the school office, and asked permission to speak with the children first. No adult, regardless of gender, should just come up to a school yard and start talking with children without a teacher or staff member present.

I would often visit my mother at her school (she was a teacher), and even after signing in at the office to go visit her classroom, I'd be stopped by teachers in the hallways with the stereotypical "Can I help you?" question, which they tell the staff to use when there's a stranger on site that they don't recognize.
