> And happened to look like a 24 year old. Would it matter to you if it was a middle-aged man with a moustache? I mean, the same sex offender also admitted he once tried to meet a girl for sex even though it ended up being a 70 year old man. Doesn't seem to be a problem. > From the article: What's your point? That children never use clichés or memes or try to act older than they are? I mean, do you believe a 13 year old girl that states quite clearly she is 13 years old is actually in her 50s if she mentions Miami Vice? > How many middle-aged men have you met who can accurately write thirteen-year-old girls? According to the sex offender caught in the sting, quite a few times. In fact, the article stated he once met a 70 year old man when he thought he was meeting a young girl.

>Would it matter to you if it was a middle-aged man with a moustache? Lol. Please, stop for just a second, and imagine that situation. This guy responds to a personal ad for sex. Gets a response that says "i'm 13" and a picture of a middle-aged man. Goes over to the poster's house, is greeted by that same middle-aged man, and goes inside. Do you really think that guy is there to have sex with a teenager? >What's your point? That there were innumerable little hints that he was not talking to a teenager. The picture was a big one, the writing style, cultural knowledge from well before she would have been born, precise directions. >a 13 year old girl that states quite clearly she is 13 years old I'm already tired of hearing you say this. Words don't overwhelm all other evidence simply by virtue of being explicit. If I offer you $1000 in cash but tell you it's a dog turd, are you a fool for grabbing it? Look, I'm not saying Hambrick had no ill intentions. I'm saying that there is more than enough reasonable doubt about the claim that he went to that house intending to have sex with a thirteen-year-old, and that reasonable doubt is enough to not effectively end his life.

  > Lol. Please, stop for just a second, and imagine that situation. This guy responds to a personal ad for sex. Gets a response that says "i'm 13" and a picture of a middle-aged man. Goes over to the poster's house, is greeted by that same middle-aged man, and goes inside. You're imagining situations. If you get back to reality you'll find that the convicted sex offender got a response from a 13 year old girl stating repeatedly and quite clearly that she was 13 years old, and he not only acknowledged she was 13 years old old but also decided it was in his best interests to try to have sex with a 13 year old girl. I mean, are you so desperate to defend a conviced sex offender who was caught in the act that you even feel compelled to claim that pics people send through dating sites are the absolute source of truth regarding who that person is and is represented? Really? > I'm already tired of hearing you say this. You're in a discussion on how a convicted sex offender was caught by the police trying to have sex with a 13 year old girl he met online. If you are tired of hearing the facts for whatever reason, whether they are inconvenient to you or you simply prefer to cherry-pick info that makes you feel comfortable, then that issue has nothing to do with this discussion or the topic, but it's a personal issue you need to address. > Look, I'm not saying Hambrick had no ill intentions. The guy was caught trying to meet a 13 year old girl for sex, while fully aware that she was 13 years old. Of course he had ill intentions. That's why he, and a bunch of other sex offenders, were caught and trialed and sentenced by a court of law in the same sting.
