Man Commits Suicide During Confrontation by Internet Pedo Hunters

There are times when I only hear one person's side of the story, and their side of it makes them sound guilty -- like Daniel Holtzclaw.  That masterful Detective, Kim Davis, took such a slow roll.  She kept Holtzclaw very comfortable.  He felt free to give his side of the story.  And what he said didn't make no sense.

Now, the dynamics aren't quite the same here.  Holtzclaw was so incredibly cocky, sure he'd get away with it and that Jannie Ligons wouldn't be believed.  He didn't bother to come up with anything believable.  He didn't anticipate a grainy surveillance video, that would serve only to prove exactly how long they were together on the road.  And that was all they needed to convict him.  Because he couldn't explain it.

In this situation, Mr. Rosen has obviously stepped in it.  He's been the catalyst for a human death.  And now he's on a talk show with a friendly person enabling him to justify it.

I've had very mixed feelings about all of the "To Catch a Predator" spin-offs that sprouted up after Chris Hansen stopped doing his iconic show.  On a visceral level, as a survivor, I do enjoy knowing that there are people out there making Telegram unsafe for these people.  Because clearly there are an army of them trading child porn.  And law enforcement isn't keeping up with it.  That's the sad and shitty reality that people like me have to live in day in, day out, cradle to grave.  There's a reason this vigilantism exists.   It's nice to see the organized, remorseless child predators being preyed upon. 

Then there's the rape kit backlog, and how much it sucks that even when people can and do report their attacks, the police won't even test it for 30 years, like that Abraham Pedrego bullshit in Tucson.  And then when they finally identify the guy, the cop will go on TV and be the victim, "Boo hoo how frustrating FOR ME, I can't arrest him."  Maybe don't leave a mountain of untested rape kits and you won't be such a sad clown. Kill me now. 

There's nothing to do after getting raped but march alone through a world full of assholes.

And unfortunately, many of the pedo hunters are among them.  For example, at one point I saw a video of some YouTuber showing up at a trailer park full of Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs), I believe in Florida.   It was well fenced-off from the road, like not the sort of place people wandered freely in and out from the sidewalk.  The manager had called to complain that these wankers were walking door-to-door trying to sell candy to the chomos that live there.

The police, when they arrived, were well familiar with the location and its residence.  They talked to the manager, who wanted the YouTube trolls criminally trespassed.  And I was 100% on his side about it.  I have no problem with that trailer park existing, in fact I appreciate both the park and its manager.  I'm glad that local law enforcement is right on top of that whole situation.  That, for me, was a best-case scenario:  keeping our men who can't behave around children very well supervised and away from children.   They're not going to be able to bring children in there unnoticed.  The manager was obviously diligent, and the cops.  A+ to them.  All of them were working in my best interests.

The YouTubers weren't there to do me any service as an abused child, quite the opposite.  They were there to disrupt a stable situation that affects vulnerable people.  They were there to self-serve and cause trouble.  They were there to use people like me as a for-profit trolling opportunity, full stop. 

The fact that Alex Rosen sometimes gets good results while also doing the above?  Meh.  He's a red cunt hair above the above-mentioned trolls, because he's not disrupting a stable situation.  He chose a slightly higher road.  But I, as a child trafficking survivor, feel equally exploited by him and his shenanigans.  He does this for clout, for the cheers of his bro pack.

I'm not an "ends justify the means" gal.   I believe that chomos are also human beings who need places to live in the world.  I'm not down for killing everybody we don't like, pushing them all to suicide for clicks.  He does this "not in my name."

I watched enough of the linked interview to come to the meat of it.  At one point, Rosen says, "It's my job."  And yes, it's his job in the same way it would be his job to change oil if he worked at Jiffy Lube or make pizza if he worked at Pizza Hut.  This is a for-profit undertaking that he has chosen to do.  He does it on the internet for clout.  He does this on the pretense of a moral high ground, which I will assert does not exist.  He does it presumably on behalf of "people like me," molested children.  And yet he's not one of us, is he?  He's a bro in a bro pack, white knighting.  If somebody gets trampled by the horse occasionally, too fucking bad.

I feel very exploited by Rosen's work.  It's manipulative, dishonest, bro-centric, and mean-spirited.  There is no moral high ground, that's a pretense.  He borrows his moral high ground from people like me, exploited children.  Look at the tone of the comments in the linked video.  "Alex took out the trash," basically.  This is not how I feel.  I don't want such people to be able to continue harming children.  And I'm not for dehumanization and escalating violence.  I would really like a better world with less violence and mental illness all around.

This is so alienating, I don't know if people can imagine.  The world is just a giant, swirling ball of rape culture.  Even the people who are presumably part of the solution -- and in some ways are part of the solution, as Rosen has created some solid, prosecutable cases -- are simultaneously very much part of the problem.  There's always somebody exploiting your suffering, getting paid to talk over you.  It's like lovely a club sandwich with just a light layer of dogshit on each slice of bread.

Let me give you another example of why I will not endorse Rosen in particular.  I recall one video where he confronted someone at work.  Keep in mind, each of these are people who have been chatting online with people they believe to be minors.  So this is activity their coworkers know nothing at all about.  Their coworkers believe it's a workday and there is work to be done.

When confronted, the chomo immediately knows the jig is up.  They've been fixated on "Ashley," or "Kayla" or whoever for weeks by that time and usually think they're in a relationship.  It's a very satisfying moment, when you get to see a child predator have the extreme buzzkill of having their precious little 12-year-old Alyssa actually be this big fat beardy guy towering over them.  There's a reason Rosen's channel works.

So they get into a conversation, which Rosen wants to take elsewhere.  In this particular video it was in a store.  The guy is obviously uncomfortable.  The conversation is going on for a while.  Another coworker, such as a manager perhaps, comes over to try and intervene.  Rosen labels her "Karen."

And this is, IMO, him displaying his butthole.

Because you know what, dude?  She's at her job, and you're sidetracking an employee with something that looks weird, because it is weird.  You're trying to walk her coworker out of there in handcuffs.  She's doing her job.  She doesn't know he's a chomo. 

So cutting directly to name-calling her speaks to something about you.  It means you leap at the opportunity to silence a white woman -- as does your audience.  Because think about it.  Look through his other videos, and find one where he blasts men for saying anything, questioning him.  Look for one where he calls anyone else a race-based name.  No, demographic-based name-calling, that's special for "Karen."  So there's something different about white women than every other kind of person in Rosen's (and his audience's) eyes.  (Spoiler alert:  they're misogynists.)

The fact that he went directly to blasting her race and gender speaks volumes while he's white knighting in this particular way.  Right?  Like isn't almost every single one of his alleged perpetrators a Kevin?  And isn't almost every one of the intended victims a baby Karen?  So where in the fuck does he get off just immediately popping off with, "Karen," aka "Silence, white woman!"  Isn't that what calling someone "Karen" means, that this white woman needs to shut up and sit down?

Well, it's because that's what his demographic loves.  It's all a big wank for Kevins who imagine themselves on the right side of rape culture, when actually they're very much part of the problem.  Because I'm pretty sure this is how Alex Rosen makes his living.

For the record, true crime is something I invest money in when I have enough money to do so, in order to set the record straight on things that I feel are important.
