Jan 29, 2010: Porno Pete

Quote:
According to USPOC.org, a mailing was sent out on Tuesday, Jan. 26 and they are being delivered today. The Palm Beach Post reports more than 1,500 homes will receive the postcard.


Quote:
Back in early January, a South Florida child abuse prevention group wanted The Who off the Super Bowl halftime show. Pete Townshend was arrested in 2003 on "suspicion of possessing child pornography." He was cleared, saying he was doing research for a project on child abuse. UK police cleared him. Well, evidently that wasn't enough because now this is going around.
Evidently, the USPOC feels the the legal system is not qualified to judge innocence/guilt, only they can be judge/jury/hangman.
I think the USPOC is out of control and Pete should sue the bastards for everything they've got, and will ever get.

WTF is up with the picture? It looks like he's doing a cell phone self portrait in his car. How did these people get a copy of his picture, and why did they chose such a random picture of him when there are thousands of them around the internet to chose from?

Wow. That's unbelievable.

Pete doesn't have a leg to stand on to sue uspoc.org

He is a sex offender in the UK. He was caught red-handed paying for child porn with his credit card and downloading on his comp.

If you believe he was doing "research" into child abuse, then you just fell off the turnip truck.

It doesn't matter what turnip truck you or the uspoc are driving.

Excuse me. I didn't create those flyers.

What I said is that, in civil court, Pete would not win a defamation suit against uspoc.org

Pete admitted downloading child porn. He was allowed to get away with it because of WHO he is.

Uspoc.org has something called Freedom of Speech rights. That is the law.

Wait a minute. The cops gave Pete a pass because he's famous? When the charge was related to child pornography? Come on.

Cops *love* to nail famous people. It shows they mean business, especially when it has to do with a huge hotbutton issue like child porn. I do not see anyone letting him walk. If the charges were dropped, it was for a good reason. Either way, it has been determined that he is not guilty of the crime. That makes him i-n-n-o-c-e-n-t. That being the case, he would be within his rights to sue.

If Pete had intended to get kiddie porn and fap to it, and used his credit card to pay for it, that would pretty much make him catastrophically stupid. Somehow, I don't think he is.

I wonder if this has malicious intent.
