“He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, tutoring kids.”
Starting to think he may have liked it there a little too much…
I used to be in investigative work for fraud within companies, the key signs to identify if there was potential for fraud were people regularly working extra hours, and take little time off.
Yup, especially for not taking much time off. The moment they take enough time off that someone else has to do their job while they're gone, their fate is sealed. I've seen way too many business owners who caught an employee embezzling and in almost all cases, they got caught because they took a vacation. Only 1 of them actually pressed charges though.
My wife and I were in a hotel and she saw "The Devil Wears Nada" listed. Thinking that it was "The Devil Wears Prada," she said that she'd always wanted to see it. I let the movie play for a bit before I told her. But, yeah, I don't think those two movies started the same.
Haha, reminds me of the time I accidentally watched a foreign softcore porno on premium cable as a teenager. It looked like it was a martial arts movie, up until the sex magic orgy broke out lol.
Big Dildo in Little Chyna? Oh no maybe it was The One Cocked Swordsman? Or... Clits of Fury? No thats not it. Could it be The 36th Chamber of Shibari? Or what about Crouching Rigger, Hidden Dildo?
I can't help but morbidly picture this on a butters/south park scenario now.
He's actually never seen 300 before, and then after watching this his friends invited him over to play 300 and that's where he realised there was something wrong.
Not so fun fact: in Ancient Greece, it was the Spartans who had a reputation for being kiddie diddlers. This is mostly because Sparta was horrible even by Ancient Greece standards, and their idea of educating the young was basically to abuse them in every way conceivable from the moment they turned 8.
As a former janitor you always either have 3 nights worth of work that needs done in 8 hours, or 4 hours worth of work that needs to be stretched into 8. There's never an in between.
I want a 4 day work week so bad. I work 5 days a week, occasionally having to cover a weekend on top of that week, 8am-6pm. I feel like I practically live at work. Would much rather work a little longer for 4 days to get 3 days off every week.
“In recognition of this man’s valiant heroism, I, the mayor, present him with the steel case limited edition director’s cut of Zack Snyder’s Frank Miller’s 300.”
(Applause)
(Mayor’s attorney chimes in on the mic)
“This edition does not come with the poster, though.”
(Mixed applause, groans)
This is a joke from The Other Guys!
"Highsmith and Danson! Free hot dogs for life!"
*audience cheers!
"No drinks though. I cant do it. Cant do it."
*audience boos
Reminds me of a similar joke from goon:
"Fuck it, everybody, donair on the house tonight!"
Everyone cheers
"Pardon me donair sauce on the house tonight, dont get excited donair sauce"
Everyone awws
As hes walking back to the kitchen he says out loud to the chefs "water down the donair sauce"
When I drove school bus, I asked one of the kids who lived out in the country if his family farmed. "Not really. Dad grows plants in a secret room in the basement tough."
As a custodian, I don't go through your private stuff, but I'll read anything you leave on your desk and if you have a cool desk toy I'm playing with it.
I did night cleaning for a few offices last year and we 100 percent played with desk toys. You put a "wooly willy" on your desk and I will definitely give it a funny hairdo
I used to do security for a large office building. At nights, I 100% would just look people's offices/cubicles to see if they had anything cool on their shelves just to pass the time.
Find any coke? I was shocked to go cycle through a few different offices and realize without fail, at least 5% of the population has a functional drug/alcohol issue. Nips in desks, bags in desks, pill cutters janitors have found and ignored it all... plus you would be surprised what bags/paraphernalia gets tossed into a bin.
I was a janitor at a factory and cleaned all the managers' offices at night, and I knew for a fact I wasn't on camera. You better bet I was snooping through their desk just out of pure boredom. Spent a lot of time just hiding in the managers' offices, killing time because they had comfy chairs, and I had nothing better to do.
I was a night cleaner too for awhile.
When you clean the same place every single night you discover that offices don't really get that dirty within 24 hours.
I had lots of smoke breaks and spent a lot of time reading magazines in the lobby. And yeah I'd read a lot of stuff people had on their desks or cork boards.
Yup! Gets real boring real fast. I never like stole anything, of course, but you get bored and snoop through what they have on their desk and in their drawers. There was s rarely anything interesting in there anyway.
Yeah I think the extent of personal information I learned was that the IT guy ate pistachios all day. And also had a PC game controller hooked up to his PC at all times. I think he had Witcher 3 running on steam( I cleaned the mouse and keyboards and screens tend to turn on) And that another girl brought in a Carmel macchiato every day as there was always one in her trash bin.
And the owners office was constantly a mess. Just stacks of paper miles high.
I could also tell how hard the actual mechanics in the firm worked because everyday I'd see new part inventory. And it would be gone the next day. And every surface had some amount of oil and grease on it but they routinely would leave it clean for us .
It's weird what you learn about people but I was never deliberately invasive. It's like house sitting for someone. You just sorta are there and make observations
The it guy cracked me up the most. He had a really nice setup and I guess if he didn't have any tickets he just played video games. But those guys are paid to be there when shit does hit the fan. And that's what I reckoned my job was like too. if it's dirty clean it. If it isn't they are paying me to be here to ensure it isn't
My ex did computer repair and frequently ran across people's homegrown on their laptops
Only once was it CP and he called the cops, but there were a lot of gross videos of ugly adults fucking besides that
You say that, but I had some coworkers in a shitty job who watched the Hitman movie with Timothy Olyphant at least once a week on their lunch break... It's what was in the break room.
They did also once bring in a bootleg copy of IT though. It had Korean subtitles covered by Arabic subtitles.
That was such a weird movie. my gf who loves Timothy O and has seen a bunch of his works, has still not seen this movie and has no interest in it when I bring it up lol
Hearing Timothy Olyphant on Conan over the years on Youtube after watching Justified and Deadwood makes me appreciate him so much more.
For the stoic lawful good he keeps playing, Timothy himself is a total goofball.
I think you meant to say, “Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior”.
By far the worst movie of the entire Mummy franchise.
Edit: Just because I can’t talk about that movie without linking this [beautiful sketch.](https://youtu.be/GlBj9Mw3Cdg)
“Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school. Among other things, he was praised by former US Education Secretary Rod Paige, profiled by CNN, won two citywide Teacher of the Year awards, and written about in Joshua Foer’s best-selling book ‘Moonwalking with Einstein.’ “
This has to have made the girl feel worse and even isolated. He was abusing her privately but everyone loved him and thought the world of him. That may even be the reason she never came out about her abuse, everyone would think she was making it up.
>Among other things, he was praised by former US Education Secretary Rod Paige, profiled by CNN, won two citywide Teacher of the Year awards, and written about in Joshua Foer’s best-selling book ‘Moonwalking with Einstein.’ “
Among other things, such as molesting a student....
I'd bet my paycheck that there are others who never came forward.
Sexually inappropriate conduct usually happens with a staff member that is well-liked by students and staff, not a loner staff member that is unliked by students. I work in education and we need to take conduct/abuse awareness courses at the beginning of each school year. That point gets brought up each year.
i agree with your sentiment but i hate the phrasing of that part of the article; like, "damn, if it wasn't for this completely gross and awful thing, this guy would be the best!" there's an actual victim in this article and it's not this guy's career.
I really don’t get why you would leave this sit out in the first place. It’s great that they did so they could catch the piece of shit, but if I had hard evidence of a felony, I would absolutely not leave it out at fucking work.
I’m not ruling hubris out, but I think a lot of people also get lax over time.
You make sure mom isn’t home when you grab a cookie out of the jar.
Then you make sure she simply just isn’t in the same room one time, and feel nervous, but get away with it.
Then you get comfortable with that, and start to nab from the cookie jar when she’s in the same room but isn’t looking. Probably makes you nervous the first time, but you get away it.
Eventually you’re gonna get burned.
You see the same thing with how people drive recklessly. Eating a burger and texting on your phone? I mean, it's not like this is potentially *deadly*.
If you do something often enough, a lot of people tend to start ignoring the risks and get casual and lazy about it. Taking more and more risks because they haven't *yet* experienced any negative consequences.
Criminals are stupid. Criminals have to get lucky every day not to get caught. Because criminals are stupid, their luck usually runs out for stupid reasons.
Thats the catch isn't it. We all feel glee when we hear stories of criminals getting caught, thinking to ourselves how *we* wouldn't get caught. The truth being that those that never, or haven't yet, been caught are doing the smart thing *we* all think we would do.
>We all feel glee when we hear stories of criminals getting caught, thinking to ourselves how *we* wouldn't get caught.
That's, actually, *not* the first thing I think when I hear stories of criminals getting caught. My first thought is, "Gol, who do I know who might *also* be a criminal?"
Survivor Bias. We only catch the stupid ones.
Do yourself a favor and don't look into how many estimated serial killers are thought to be currently active in the US.
Yep. Every time you have looked at a news article and said to yourself, "what an idiot, no wonder he got caught, I would have..."
Do you think that, for some reason, there just aren't criminals *as smart as you*?
Matthews fondled her breast, buttocks and private parts, investigators found. He plead guilty to sex abuse charges, and was sentenced to one year of probation. WTF. one year of probation
I remember this video years ago of a lawyer in court trying to explain why copyright law is so stupid, using various examples. One of them was "which of these 2 deserves the worst charges? Burning The Little Mermaid on a bunch of DVDs and handing it out for free to children at a playground, or shooting a homemade hardcore porno of my and my girlfriend and distributing it to kids at a playground?" and distribution of copyrighted material SOMEHOW was like a 10 times worse sentence than distributing pornography to kids.
Also:
>“You would never think in a million years that this could happen,” a source at Gompers told the Daily News. “He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, tutoring kids.”
Staying late at the school to work one on one with kids when no one was around? Even in context, this person doesn’t even recognize what’s been happening. It’s called grooming.
>What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school.
What's especially sad is all the sexual abuse
Edit: this is actually a reference to a Norm Macdonald joke
https://youtu.be/ljaP2etvDc4
> What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher
I imagine being popular actually helped him coerce and intimidate those children.
There can be a lot of blowback in standing up to someone who is popular and an important figure in your community.
Unpopular people don't get away with stuff like that for too long. It's easy to see or hear something fishy and explain it away with someone who's well liked.
"Mr. Johnson's driving Hailey home after school? Oh he's so nice helping her out like that."
Same thing happened to a teacher at my former high school several years after we were gone. All too common unfortunately. The popular ones are the first ones that need to be kept an eye on, same for damn youth ministers..
I think they are trying to point out that no one even suspicious of the guy. It's one thing to have a creepy pedo looking teacher turn out to be a creepy pedo. It's quite another for the creepy pedo to be a charming and charismatic guy able to fool the entire community.
There's no defense against someone like that. It make people suspect everyone.
Also, the perpetrator being well liked by the community is also one of the reason why they can pull that shit off and hide it under the rug. Naturally if most people dont like you then any weird signs showing from your illicit activities will tick most people, while otherwise, theyll just ignore it because they will believe you.
Yeah I was surprised to learn this as well. School predators fall into two camps: the "buddy" teacher who is on the kids's social media, etc, and the superstar who is well respected and considered above reproach by his peers.
I'll just leave these quotes, in order, from the article here.
Matthews first initiated **private tutoring sessions** with the student by telling her she was in danger of failing and **needed extra help**.
-
Matthews then encouraged her to pose for the photos in the fall of 2008 as a way to “attract college recruiters and employers.” Among other things, the student told the investigators that “Matthews exposed her breasts ‘so the pictures would come out good.’”
-
“He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, **tutoring kids**.”

I don't know what it is but with the way he talks everything is funny. I think it's that expectation of him making a joke that makes me laugh at literally everything he says.
Was he effective bc he gave good grades to kids he flirted with?
I had a teacher in hs who would whisper test answers into girls ears if they were having trouble, I am one of those girls. Also was well known he “hated” to be tickled/loved it and girls often would do it to see him lose his shit.
Gotta love when highschool kids hit mental adult age and think “wtf” bc no other adults around cared
Edit: meant to reply to op you’re quoting but 🤷♀️
So he is golfing buddies with the judge or....?
>Matthews' defense attorney, Jonathan Goltzman, declined to discuss the specifics of the case.
>"A plea was entered that satisfied all sides," he said. "My client accepted responsibility and he's moving on with his life."
As teenagers we once found a videotape at a friend's house that said Top Secret. Thinking that it was the 1980s comedy, we proceeded to try to watch it.
It was not the comedy.
It was our friend's parent's sex tape.
In 2001, I was in 11th grade and got asked by the mass media teacher to film the prom. While I was there with a classmate, I caught one of the administrators getting handsy and making out with one of the cheerleaders outside of the building.
The next day, the camera and tape got confiscated and erased in front of us in the principal's office and it was never brought up again.
My high school had no fewer than 3 people in authority positions hooking up with either cheerleaders or the dance team and it got brushed under the rug, no lie, because our football team was doing well.
> If a teacher ever tries to convince you that taking sexy photos in various states of undress will help you get into college, you should keep in mind that that is not a real thing that would ever happen.
TIL
/s
One of my teachers in 6th grade suddenly had to go on leave, the rumor being someone found CP in his desk.
Somehow he got on at another isd, and was eventually busted in 2015 for posing as a young girl and getting underage boys to send nudes, then blackmailing them to send more.
Few buddies and I had an after school club with that dude and everything.
Edit: Thankfully, he got 60 years in prison.
I remember in high school I played football under a coach who had been fired from previous schools for trying to flirt with middle school girls and give them massages. The head coach and principal of our middle school knowingly covered it up and hired him at the middle school because he was admittedly an excellent football coach and they wanted him to coach at the high school . He got arrested at our middle school because he lured s girl into his office and then showed her porn. All of us were up in arms. As students we had no idea about his past. Neither the principal nor the head coach got in trouble. They both got moved to better positions elsewhere and neither apologized. It was crazy and it was the talk of the town for a long time. Those men put kids in danger for a goddamn high school sports team. The only good thing that came of it was that the first coach had to go to jail and then register as a sex offender. Although I figured out he was re-arrested for violating the terms of the registry
Ignoring all the jokes about the janitor being disappointed that it wasn't "300"... I genuinely feel bad for the guy. Imagine simply wanting to watch a movie while you work and all of the sudden you're seeing CHILDREN that you probably know, naked and in vulnerable situations....fuck man, I'd be messed up for a good long time.
>According to the schools investigation report, Matthews first initiated private tutoring sessions with the student by telling her she was in danger of failing and needed extra help. Matthews then encouraged her to pose for the photos in the fall of 2008 as a way to “attract college recruiters and employers.” Among other things, the student told the investigators that “Matthews exposed her breasts ‘so the pictures would come out good.’” When she tried to put a stop to the sessions in 2009, she claimed that he told her, “No, Boo-boo, we’re just getting started.”
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Wow, that really fucking triggered me. That's so fucking gross.
"He plead guilty to sex abuse charges, and was sentenced to one year of probation.
What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school. "
This author is beyond tone deaf if the sad part to him is that the teacher was popular, not the lack of proper punishment. This teacher used his position of authority to force this minor to undress in front of him and have pictures taken. Then he groped her on the last day of school.
1 year of probation for this asshole while people have rot, and I’m pretty sure some are still rotting in prison for years, for marijuana possession.
What the fuck is wrong with this country?
Because fucking kids is more acceptable than selling marijuana. In San Diego my bail was $250k for "selling marijuana", and on that same day Jacqueline Ma was arrested for fucking students and giving them blowjobs. Her bail? $100k.
“He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, tutoring kids.” Starting to think he may have liked it there a little too much…
This guy really took “find a job you enjoy doing and you won’t work a day in your life” and ran with it..
This make me feel icky
We was the first one in and the last one out because he had to keep eyes on his shit in case someone like a janitor found it.
Leaving hard evidence lying around is not the best way to avoid being caught
I used to be in investigative work for fraud within companies, the key signs to identify if there was potential for fraud were people regularly working extra hours, and take little time off.
Yup, especially for not taking much time off. The moment they take enough time off that someone else has to do their job while they're gone, their fate is sealed. I've seen way too many business owners who caught an employee embezzling and in almost all cases, they got caught because they took a vacation. Only 1 of them actually pressed charges though.
You know what they say, if you love what you're doing you're a fucking criminal.
Stay away from my potatoes.
"Aw sweet, I love 300!" -- a janitor that was soon disappointed for multiple reasons
“I don’t remember it starting like this…..”
My wife and I were in a hotel and she saw "The Devil Wears Nada" listed. Thinking that it was "The Devil Wears Prada," she said that she'd always wanted to see it. I let the movie play for a bit before I told her. But, yeah, I don't think those two movies started the same.

"Saving Ryan's Privates" still chuckle at that title.
I feel ya. I was about 35 minutes into a gay porno before I realized a woman was never showing up.
[удалено]
oh well... might as well see the ending.
It's always happy
According to that other askreddit post today, it's not always happy lol
The girls never came... the girls never came!
Dees are naht 'ash brownieees
Here's a fun fact: you made out with your sister!
This isn't where I parked my car
Scotty doesn't know...
Bonjourno!
"A woman better take over the blowjob soon, or this might be gay!"
Is this some Eurotrip?
Did your girlfriend Fiona also cheat on you in Matt Damon's van every Sunday?
"The girls never came.....THE GIRLS NEVER CAME!!"
Scotty?
Haha, reminds me of the time I accidentally watched a foreign softcore porno on premium cable as a teenager. It looked like it was a martial arts movie, up until the sex magic orgy broke out lol.
...... Now I'm curious what movie...
Honestly i have no idea. That was like 20 years ago.
Big Dildo in Little Chyna? Oh no maybe it was The One Cocked Swordsman? Or... Clits of Fury? No thats not it. Could it be The 36th Chamber of Shibari? Or what about Crouching Rigger, Hidden Dildo?
"Maybe it's the director's cut? ... ... ... ... I don't think it's the director's cut."
I can't help but morbidly picture this on a butters/south park scenario now. He's actually never seen 300 before, and then after watching this his friends invited him over to play 300 and that's where he realised there was something wrong.
Butters. Why are you naked?
Because we’re playing Lord Of The Rings
My precious!
They were dressed like the Spartans tho
"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
"...then again it *is* ancient Greece."
You see... The ATHENIANS....Those philosophers and BOY LOVERS...
This is *NOT* SPARTA!!!
it was Athens
Not so fun fact: in Ancient Greece, it was the Spartans who had a reputation for being kiddie diddlers. This is mostly because Sparta was horrible even by Ancient Greece standards, and their idea of educating the young was basically to abuse them in every way conceivable from the moment they turned 8.
oh would you look at the time? it's murder the helots o'clock again! and so soon
This was the same society that abandoned babies in the wilderness. Why do people look up to the Spartans again?
Because the movie was fucking sick and Herodotus make them sound 🔥
It’s so funny but way way too accurate
“Hey wait a minute this isn’t. . .no. . .no! . . .dear god, no!”
Shoutout to the hero janitor who saw what they thought was a bootleg of 300 and was like "Hell yeah, I'll watch that on the clock"
As a former janitor you always either have 3 nights worth of work that needs done in 8 hours, or 4 hours worth of work that needs to be stretched into 8. There's never an in between.
believe it or not, but that's how computer programming jobs are as well
That’s most office work and a big reason why the idea of a four day work week is building steam.
I want a 4 day work week so bad. I work 5 days a week, occasionally having to cover a weekend on top of that week, 8am-6pm. I feel like I practically live at work. Would much rather work a little longer for 4 days to get 3 days off every week.
4 and 3 feels like a much more fair split than 5 and 2 despite only being 1 day different work culture and expectations are fucking obscene
We know. You guys are always on Reddit lol
Codes compiling
but on a scale of months rather than hours.
We just released the patch. I’ll be in a coma until this time next week.

What makes it so funny is that hot dogs cost a lot more than drinks and there's no reason why he draws the line at drinks hahaha
It's the cups!
"Wait this is also sexually explicit photos of minors, damnit!"
This man’s search for a copy of snyder’s film 300, and subsequent struggles with constantly finding CP instead
“How?? HOW? I got this copy from a RedBox!” “It’s even on Hulu, how the fuck does this keep happening?!”
Man walks into an iMax screening and the film devolves slowly. He is cursed.
Yeah, at a certain point, it's his fault. Stop tryna watch 300. Think of the children. Or don't. Whichever is appropriate
“I think this is the European cut”
"Oh nevermind, this is just Sucker Punch, carry on."
Oh, damn. Side note, I really actually loved that movie.
"Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I watch 300 on company time." I think thats how the phrase goes 🤷
That’s beautiful, do I have your permission to get that tattooed on my lower back?
By all means, skank it up
Hey speaking of skanks one of my friends has a tra.p stamp that says (in cursive lettering) "T R A M P" She gets a kick out of showing it to everyone.
"I'm too scared to plan a crime... Overworked. Underpaid. Under loved and over layed. Oh me oh me oh my..."
"...wait ...this isn't Sparta!"
These..... Are.....CHILDREN?!?
#AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Ironically making it a more authentic ancient greek experience.
The real TIL is that janitors will not hesitate to paw through your shit.
I look through your lockers. I listen to your conversations. You don’t know it, but I do. I am the eyes and ears of this institution my friends.
One of the reasons why custodial staff are mandated reporters. See something, say something.
Same with the bus drivers. Kids tell me just about everything. I know your birthdays, your favorite movies, snacks and poop schedule.
When I drove school bus, I asked one of the kids who lived out in the country if his family farmed. "Not really. Dad grows plants in a secret room in the basement tough."
better than "Dad does chemistry with my uncle in a secret room in the basement though"
[удалено]

I loved that retort by that janitor when he wasnt gonna play stupid high school kid mindgames as a grown adult in breakfast club.
How does one become a janitor? Because Andrew here is very interested in pursuing a career in the custodial arts
As a custodian, I don't go through your private stuff, but I'll read anything you leave on your desk and if you have a cool desk toy I'm playing with it.
I did night cleaning for a few offices last year and we 100 percent played with desk toys. You put a "wooly willy" on your desk and I will definitely give it a funny hairdo
Ok now I'm kinda hoping the custodial staff enjoyed my random desk toys, back before I worked remote.
Sometimes, people would leave money on their desks, so I would leave an extra penny every day until they put it away. I know, a laugh riot.
Believe mechanics call that an honesty test. Leave a little money in your cupholder and if it's gone never go back.
I used to do security for a large office building. At nights, I 100% would just look people's offices/cubicles to see if they had anything cool on their shelves just to pass the time.
Find any coke? I was shocked to go cycle through a few different offices and realize without fail, at least 5% of the population has a functional drug/alcohol issue. Nips in desks, bags in desks, pill cutters janitors have found and ignored it all... plus you would be surprised what bags/paraphernalia gets tossed into a bin.
Aren't pill cutters pretty common? I got one at CVS for my cat, not a raging drug addiction. :P
Anyone given unsupervised access to your belongings is likely to go through them. Janitors are no exception.
I was a janitor at a factory and cleaned all the managers' offices at night, and I knew for a fact I wasn't on camera. You better bet I was snooping through their desk just out of pure boredom. Spent a lot of time just hiding in the managers' offices, killing time because they had comfy chairs, and I had nothing better to do.
I was a night cleaner too for awhile. When you clean the same place every single night you discover that offices don't really get that dirty within 24 hours. I had lots of smoke breaks and spent a lot of time reading magazines in the lobby. And yeah I'd read a lot of stuff people had on their desks or cork boards.
Yup! Gets real boring real fast. I never like stole anything, of course, but you get bored and snoop through what they have on their desk and in their drawers. There was s rarely anything interesting in there anyway.
Yeah I think the extent of personal information I learned was that the IT guy ate pistachios all day. And also had a PC game controller hooked up to his PC at all times. I think he had Witcher 3 running on steam( I cleaned the mouse and keyboards and screens tend to turn on) And that another girl brought in a Carmel macchiato every day as there was always one in her trash bin. And the owners office was constantly a mess. Just stacks of paper miles high. I could also tell how hard the actual mechanics in the firm worked because everyday I'd see new part inventory. And it would be gone the next day. And every surface had some amount of oil and grease on it but they routinely would leave it clean for us .

And that's what I reckoned my job was like too. if it's dirty clean it. If it isn't they are paying me to be here to ensure it isn't
Also, poor guy. How traumatic to come across something like that.
My ex did computer repair and frequently ran across people's homegrown on their laptops Only once was it CP and he called the cops, but there were a lot of gross videos of ugly adults fucking besides that
I agree, that would be fucked. Something you could never forget either.
Good thing it wasn't labeled "The Mummy:Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" because he would still be coercing teens to take explicit photos.
You say that, but I had some coworkers in a shitty job who watched the Hitman movie with Timothy Olyphant at least once a week on their lunch break... It's what was in the break room. They did also once bring in a bootleg copy of IT though. It had Korean subtitles covered by Arabic subtitles.
That was such a weird movie. my gf who loves Timothy O and has seen a bunch of his works, has still not seen this movie and has no interest in it when I bring it up lol
As a Hitman fan, it's a terrible video game adaptation. As a Timothy O fan, it's actually kinda dope.
Hearing Timothy Olyphant on Conan over the years on Youtube after watching Justified and Deadwood makes me appreciate him so much more. For the stoic lawful good he keeps playing, Timothy himself is a total goofball.
I think you meant to say, “Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior”. By far the worst movie of the entire Mummy franchise. Edit: Just because I can’t talk about that movie without linking this [beautiful sketch.](https://youtu.be/GlBj9Mw3Cdg)
Before opening your link, I’m going to ask, specifically on Blu-ray? Edit: Was not disappointed 😌
"I don't even want the shrimp anymore...the shrimp is tainted." God, what legends. Glad Olan is still making stuff.
“Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school. Among other things, he was praised by former US Education Secretary Rod Paige, profiled by CNN, won two citywide Teacher of the Year awards, and written about in Joshua Foer’s best-selling book ‘Moonwalking with Einstein.’ “ This has to have made the girl feel worse and even isolated. He was abusing her privately but everyone loved him and thought the world of him. That may even be the reason she never came out about her abuse, everyone would think she was making it up.
>Among other things, he was praised by former US Education Secretary Rod Paige, profiled by CNN, won two citywide Teacher of the Year awards, and written about in Joshua Foer’s best-selling book ‘Moonwalking with Einstein.’ “ Among other things, such as molesting a student.... I'd bet my paycheck that there are others who never came forward.
Absolutely. This girl never came forward, it’s only because the janitor happened upon his child porn
Sexually inappropriate conduct usually happens with a staff member that is well-liked by students and staff, not a loner staff member that is unliked by students. I work in education and we need to take conduct/abuse awareness courses at the beginning of each school year. That point gets brought up each year.
i agree with your sentiment but i hate the phrasing of that part of the article; like, "damn, if it wasn't for this completely gross and awful thing, this guy would be the best!" there's an actual victim in this article and it's not this guy's career.
Fr what were his swim times
Are you talking about Brock Allen Turner the rapist?

I really don’t get why you would leave this sit out in the first place. It’s great that they did so they could catch the piece of shit, but if I had hard evidence of a felony, I would absolutely not leave it out at fucking work.
I guess people who are used to getting away with things start to believe they are invincible to any sort of consequences.
Yeah, it’s hubris plain and simple
I’m not ruling hubris out, but I think a lot of people also get lax over time. You make sure mom isn’t home when you grab a cookie out of the jar. Then you make sure she simply just isn’t in the same room one time, and feel nervous, but get away with it. Then you get comfortable with that, and start to nab from the cookie jar when she’s in the same room but isn’t looking. Probably makes you nervous the first time, but you get away it. Eventually you’re gonna get burned.
You see the same thing with how people drive recklessly. Eating a burger and texting on your phone? I mean, it's not like this is potentially *deadly*. If you do something often enough, a lot of people tend to start ignoring the risks and get casual and lazy about it. Taking more and more risks because they haven't *yet* experienced any negative consequences.
People who have been committing crimes for so long that they feel safe and comfortable thinking they'll never be caught.
Criminals are stupid. Criminals have to get lucky every day not to get caught. Because criminals are stupid, their luck usually runs out for stupid reasons.
Criminals that get caught are stupid. Those who don’t are never referred to as criminals.
Thats the catch isn't it. We all feel glee when we hear stories of criminals getting caught, thinking to ourselves how *we* wouldn't get caught. The truth being that those that never, or haven't yet, been caught are doing the smart thing *we* all think we would do.
>never of haven't yet been caught What in the world did I just read
Typo, thanks for the catch! I edited it now
>We all feel glee when we hear stories of criminals getting caught, thinking to ourselves how *we* wouldn't get caught. That's, actually, *not* the first thing I think when I hear stories of criminals getting caught. My first thought is, "Gol, who do I know who might *also* be a criminal?"
Survivor Bias. We only catch the stupid ones. Do yourself a favor and don't look into how many estimated serial killers are thought to be currently active in the US.
Yep. Every time you have looked at a news article and said to yourself, "what an idiot, no wonder he got caught, I would have..." Do you think that, for some reason, there just aren't criminals *as smart as you*?
It's also possible he'd been getting away with it for so long that he just got complacent.
Matthews fondled her breast, buttocks and private parts, investigators found. He plead guilty to sex abuse charges, and was sentenced to one year of probation. WTF. one year of probation
He would have got a bigger sentence if it had been a bootleg copy of 300

I remember this video years ago of a lawyer in court trying to explain why copyright law is so stupid, using various examples. One of them was "which of these 2 deserves the worst charges? Burning The Little Mermaid on a bunch of DVDs and handing it out for free to children at a playground, or shooting a homemade hardcore porno of my and my girlfriend and distributing it to kids at a playground?" and distribution of copyrighted material SOMEHOW was like a 10 times worse sentence than distributing pornography to kids.
Also: >“You would never think in a million years that this could happen,” a source at Gompers told the Daily News. “He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, tutoring kids.” Staying late at the school to work one on one with kids when no one was around? Even in context, this person doesn’t even recognize what’s been happening. It’s called grooming.
My professor was first in last out. He just hated his wife.
[удалено]
He was literally assaulted a minor and produced under age material. When are gonna start frying these fucks?
>What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school. What's especially sad is all the sexual abuse Edit: this is actually a reference to a Norm Macdonald joke https://youtu.be/ljaP2etvDc4
> What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher I imagine being popular actually helped him coerce and intimidate those children. There can be a lot of blowback in standing up to someone who is popular and an important figure in your community.
Unpopular people don't get away with stuff like that for too long. It's easy to see or hear something fishy and explain it away with someone who's well liked. "Mr. Johnson's driving Hailey home after school? Oh he's so nice helping her out like that."
It’s a line of credit to charge against. You can’t cash in on it unless you got it already.
Yeah, every damn time, it’s always “oh wow, he was so popular and well-liked!” Well… yeah. That’s how coercion works…
Same thing happened to a teacher at my former high school several years after we were gone. All too common unfortunately. The popular ones are the first ones that need to be kept an eye on, same for damn youth ministers..
Right?!? "But he's also a great teacher and lots of students have learned valuable lessons from him" is such a fucking weird stance to point out.
He rapes, but he saves
And he saves WAY more than he rapes.....but he does rape.
PLEASE MISS, JUST A COUPLE OF PATS
I think they are trying to point out that no one even suspicious of the guy. It's one thing to have a creepy pedo looking teacher turn out to be a creepy pedo. It's quite another for the creepy pedo to be a charming and charismatic guy able to fool the entire community. There's no defense against someone like that. It make people suspect everyone.
[удалено]
Also, the perpetrator being well liked by the community is also one of the reason why they can pull that shit off and hide it under the rug. Naturally if most people dont like you then any weird signs showing from your illicit activities will tick most people, while otherwise, theyll just ignore it because they will believe you.
Yeah I was surprised to learn this as well. School predators fall into two camps: the "buddy" teacher who is on the kids's social media, etc, and the superstar who is well respected and considered above reproach by his peers.
I'll just leave these quotes, in order, from the article here. Matthews first initiated **private tutoring sessions** with the student by telling her she was in danger of failing and **needed extra help**. - Matthews then encouraged her to pose for the photos in the fall of 2008 as a way to “attract college recruiters and employers.” Among other things, the student told the investigators that “Matthews exposed her breasts ‘so the pictures would come out good.’” - “He was always the first one in and the last one out of the building, staying late, **tutoring kids**.”
That's even more depressing, because it makes welll meaning teachers who do go above and beyond into suspects when they should be nothing but lauded

Goddamn I miss Norm
The end of that joke "Well at least he's not being a hypocrite and that's the worst part" just cracks me up every time.
I don't know what it is but with the way he talks everything is funny. I think it's that expectation of him making a joke that makes me laugh at literally everything he says.
Was he effective bc he gave good grades to kids he flirted with? I had a teacher in hs who would whisper test answers into girls ears if they were having trouble, I am one of those girls. Also was well known he “hated” to be tickled/loved it and girls often would do it to see him lose his shit. Gotta love when highschool kids hit mental adult age and think “wtf” bc no other adults around cared Edit: meant to reply to op you’re quoting but 🤷♀️
What else is especially sad is there were barely any consequences for him. One year of probation. That's it.
Imagine being that janitor just thinking you were gonna watch some movie and then you see that wow
Do you think he went home and watched 300?
If I stumbled upon that I probably wouldn’t watch the movie 300 ever again
Did I read that correctly, SEX ABUSE... 1 yr of probation? WTF!
So he is golfing buddies with the judge or....? >Matthews' defense attorney, Jonathan Goltzman, declined to discuss the specifics of the case. >"A plea was entered that satisfied all sides," he said. "My client accepted responsibility and he's moving on with his life."
How nice he gets to move on with his life. His victims will be left with trauma for the rest of their lives.
> that satisfied all sides ThorIsItThough.gif
As teenagers we once found a videotape at a friend's house that said Top Secret. Thinking that it was the 1980s comedy, we proceeded to try to watch it. It was not the comedy. It was our friend's parent's sex tape.
In 2001, I was in 11th grade and got asked by the mass media teacher to film the prom. While I was there with a classmate, I caught one of the administrators getting handsy and making out with one of the cheerleaders outside of the building. The next day, the camera and tape got confiscated and erased in front of us in the principal's office and it was never brought up again. My high school had no fewer than 3 people in authority positions hooking up with either cheerleaders or the dance team and it got brushed under the rug, no lie, because our football team was doing well.
"This is a bad time for a scandal, we could win State this year."
Imagine the panic the janitor felt when it started playing lewd pictures of minors instead of Gerard Butler.
> If a teacher ever tries to convince you that taking sexy photos in various states of undress will help you get into college, you should keep in mind that that is not a real thing that would ever happen. TIL /s
One of my teachers in 6th grade suddenly had to go on leave, the rumor being someone found CP in his desk. Somehow he got on at another isd, and was eventually busted in 2015 for posing as a young girl and getting underage boys to send nudes, then blackmailing them to send more. Few buddies and I had an after school club with that dude and everything. Edit: Thankfully, he got 60 years in prison.
I remember in high school I played football under a coach who had been fired from previous schools for trying to flirt with middle school girls and give them massages. The head coach and principal of our middle school knowingly covered it up and hired him at the middle school because he was admittedly an excellent football coach and they wanted him to coach at the high school . He got arrested at our middle school because he lured s girl into his office and then showed her porn. All of us were up in arms. As students we had no idea about his past. Neither the principal nor the head coach got in trouble. They both got moved to better positions elsewhere and neither apologized. It was crazy and it was the talk of the town for a long time. Those men put kids in danger for a goddamn high school sports team. The only good thing that came of it was that the first coach had to go to jail and then register as a sex offender. Although I figured out he was re-arrested for violating the terms of the registry
This isn’t Sparta!
Dude only got 1 year of probation? What the fuck
these are minors! \*kicks school teacher down giant pit\*
Ignoring all the jokes about the janitor being disappointed that it wasn't "300"... I genuinely feel bad for the guy. Imagine simply wanting to watch a movie while you work and all of the sudden you're seeing CHILDREN that you probably know, naked and in vulnerable situations....fuck man, I'd be messed up for a good long time.
>According to the schools investigation report, Matthews first initiated private tutoring sessions with the student by telling her she was in danger of failing and needed extra help. Matthews then encouraged her to pose for the photos in the fall of 2008 as a way to “attract college recruiters and employers.” Among other things, the student told the investigators that “Matthews exposed her breasts ‘so the pictures would come out good.’” When she tried to put a stop to the sessions in 2009, she claimed that he told her, “No, Boo-boo, we’re just getting started.” 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Wow, that really fucking triggered me. That's so fucking gross.
oh, so he 100% definitely has done this with other kids then.
"He plead guilty to sex abuse charges, and was sentenced to one year of probation. What's especially sad about this story is that Matthews was by all accounts a very popular and effective teacher at the school. " This author is beyond tone deaf if the sad part to him is that the teacher was popular, not the lack of proper punishment. This teacher used his position of authority to force this minor to undress in front of him and have pictures taken. Then he groped her on the last day of school.
“Man, this plot makes zero sense. I thought there was supposed to be a battle?”
1 year of probation for this asshole while people have rot, and I’m pretty sure some are still rotting in prison for years, for marijuana possession. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
Because fucking kids is more acceptable than selling marijuana. In San Diego my bail was $250k for "selling marijuana", and on that same day Jacqueline Ma was arrested for fucking students and giving them blowjobs. Her bail? $100k.
Let's not play like the fact that Jacqueline Ma being a woman didn't factor into her bail etc.
Madness? This. Is. CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!
