WTF!!!!

Now, i'm taking Steve Ritchies approach. I wont be talking about this any further.
 
Dude you probably typed that on a device made in a sweat shop. It's an awful crime and he'll be charged appropriately. But to suggest Creature and GB are now tainted is taking it a bit far. I hope you don't tap your foot when Michael Jackson comes on the radio
 
So, nice weather today where i am. Overcast slightly but good temps. Dry roads, so Very grippy for some brum brum fun. How about you?
 
Where it says two counts. Does that mean he had two illegal things on his computer? Or he's committed two crimes?
 
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/noted-pinball-machine-designer-charged-with-child-porn-possession/

"John Trudeau, 69, faces two felony counts of possession of pornography after authorities searched his home on Thursday in the first bock of Medinah Circle, according to a statement from Glendale Heights police."

"Trudeau was home Thursday morning when Glendale Heights police and DuPage County sheriff’s officers executed a search warrant, seizing electronics “which contained numerous computerized files” of illegal images, according to police."

Whilst i'm sure it happens, i'm equally sure that you can't tar everyone with the same brush. By your logic, EVERY factory in china abuses children. Come on now, get real. Its impossible to know.

What we can and do know is that a machine was designed by a famous, well known pinball designer who marketed the sale of the machine as such (youtube vid of him breaking down the features of the game and how involved he was) then was found out to have child abuse imagery on his PC among other nasty allegations. That's a huge difference.

Like i said, justify things you desire any way you like.

What you can say for sure is that if it wasn't for the Nazi's you wouldn't be using the Internet!

If you take your stance to its logical and mad conclusion then just about every game would have been played by JT whilst he was at BW and Stern (and G) and they would have taken his feedback (see the movie tilt!) in the design so are you giving away your whole collection? ;)

Whilst i'd love to offer a retort, it serves to only fan flames on a subject that disgusts me. Therefore, i'll just stick to my beliefs and continue to laugh at your posts. Thanks.

P.S: I hear there's a great CD compilation out there you may like:

Any one that abuses children in anyway is a wrongun , it's sad when it invades something you like or someone you know or think you know.
As a photographer I often get asked to shoot at schools and it's sad how paranoid parents about images that I may take of their child ending up somewhere. I have heard it all ... " I don't want any images of my child taken during the shoot or my child in a group picture as one of the other parents uncles might be a kiddy fiddler" I **** you not , I have had phone calls from parents after weddings asking me to remove an image from a wedding from my FB page as you can see their kid and they don't want their image anywhere..
People used to think Jackson was weird covering his kids with blankets it's way worse now... worlds gone mad.
As far as not wanting a GB pinball now that's just madness and these folks saying about selling their games as it's tainted it's bonkers , do you think JT might have knocked one off into the cab while watching mini pops?
Madness ....
I still love my Rolf Harris stylaphone bought from NLP and my jim'l fix it coffee mug is a special reserve I bring out for certain guests .... nothing better than saying there's your coffee in the peado mug :)

It's a weird world we all live in. Who knows the truth anymore. Influential people doing what they want coupled with an incendiary media full of lies.
The world has gone bonkers and it's all there to see.
Sometimes I think I'm the only normal person in the universe.

I only just caught wind of this bombshell on the pin NG's on the train. Old but savage news.

There's probably earlier accounts than crazy Mo around 600AD up to no good, that's just the biggest one I know of and everybody should.

They've been here forever and will always be here and you're probably right about the "influential" and money etc. Jeff Epstein, Prince Andrew ? lol.

I don't think it was the Russians, this time.

Were it up to me, convicted paedophiles would face the harshest possible penalty.

BUT this guy has not been convicted yet. And also, I am getting increasingly suspicious about things like dna "evidence", computer hard disc "evidence".

Computer hard discs are easily accessed by hackers, viruses etc. And I do not know how rigorously the authorities interrogate them.

By means of example, in the late 90s a colleague of mine in a large accountancy firm was hauled before the IT department for accessing porn on his pc. The actual incident happened during a fire alarm, so someone had set him up. He was exonerated.

At the same firm we had a student intern who was an IT wizard. He actually handed the head of IT his administrator password one day to show how incompetent he was. This kid had put some software on his pc that grabbed the administrator's password.

To answer some of this, I’ve been involved in digital forensics in the past.

You won’t get done just for the odd image and he’ll be represented with IT experts brought in for the defence.

In short (I’ll limit to hard disks), you take an image and the original goes back into evidence. The image(s) are then used by digital forensic teams.

You have to build up all information which involves the obvious stuff like user accounts, their web browsing history and images / videos currently available including cracking any encrypted archives.

You also use methods like file carving to retrieve long deleted files which aren’t normally associated with short term hacks.

Objects like images also contain potentially lots of meta data, from the date created to the camera used. This is also particularly useful if the same camera is also in evidence.

Basically, chances are he has it on other media and it’s often easy to workout if someone had stuff on their computer and tried to hide it.

In the U.K. every image and video is viewed and graded along with a short description. A pretty grim task.

'Crazy Mo' as you refer to him most likely never existed. Much like Jesus, people didn't start writing about him until about 100 years after his supposed death so I don't think you can treat that '9 year old bride' story as being factual...

I'm certainly not making a religious statement (as I believe all religion is bunkum, but each to there own), but there is significant proof (moreso than the likes of King Arthur, or any one pre 1100's for that matter) that a person called Jesus of Nazareth existed approx. 2000 years ago, whether you believe that that person was "the son of god" is an entirely different matter.
 
I'm with Wayne on this one. I'm not religious in the slightest but people with those names almost certainly existed. Whether or not they did any of the things attributed to them is a very different matter.

However, am I the only one puzzled as to why when were discussing allegations made against a man in the US in 2017 Dave linked it to a middle eastern man who lived 1500 years ago? Is there any real connection at all? I suspect that Dave is trying to infer that a religion he doesn't like for some reason, supports paedophilia. Maybe I'm wrong here but that would be my assumption. As I said maybe I'm very wrong and he's just pointing out that sick people from all backgrounds have done sick things throughout the centauries. I thought about the post overnight and it really doesn't sit well with me.

Totally with you there.
 
I got bashed on Pinside by the moderators for mentioning religion. At least we still have freedom of speech on here. Don't we?

Errr. Isn't this thread about alleged peado scum? 'Crazy Mo' as someone put it could also be considered peado scum, for having a child bride. There's the link you so desperately missed.
 
Would probably be best to nuke this thread from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
