Most Annoying True Crime Show Fan Comments On Social Media

One other thing that always annoyed me (and we covered it in the Anthony Quick thread) is how some folks would complain about AMW sometimes featuring bad guys and gals who weren't wanted for murder or rape or robbery but were instead wanted for fraud,credit card theft etc,especially when the amount taken wasn't in the millions.
As I mentioned in that thread,losing a few hundred or a couple of thousand might not matter if you're a millionaire(still wrong to steal from them) but it certainly matters to the 99% of us who aren't.
If nothing else these crooks operate by preying on people's trust and don't stop until they are caught and even when they are caught (and in some cases sent to prison) the minute they get back out they do the same things again.
That makes them threats to the public and worthy of being on AMW.

To go along with that,the folks complaining about some AMW cases assume someone shown on AMW for non-violent crimes can't be dangerous.
The story of Kelton Nakail Birdow that I posted the other day should put that theory to bed.
At the time he was making the rounds as one of America's dumbest criminals on various shows(hard to fault the cops since the ATM crimes were so stupid),no one had any idea he was a double murderer as well,as his link to that crime wouldn't come until four years later (and two years after AMW busted him.)
One of the cops who worked the ATM robbery cases said that it taught him a valuable lesson.
Never make assumptions about anyone,no matter how stupid or harmless they appear to be.
They could be far more dangerous then you realize.

So on In Pursuit there is a 15 seconds of shame female fugitive named Andrea Heming, wanted for allegedly putting poisoning in her husband's Lucky Charms to avoid having sex with him. They posted about her on their Facebook page today.

My complaint isn't where you think this might be headed. Thankfully the husband survived and obviously I would be singing a different tune if I were him and would never eve want to go through what he went to, however I feel because he survived this story is fair game for jokes even. (Even I made a joke). Like it's one of those stories so bizarre while not condoning it you understand it is ripe for jokes and you can't pretend it's a normal not unique crime story.

My issue is two female commenters basically replied "how do we know she didn't do it because the husband was raping her while she was sleeping?"

I've stated time and time again the number one goal of this forum is to protect women and children and the most vulnerable. I'm a #MeToo, Time's Up guy and consider myself a male feminist why not. It is normally men who are violent serial killers or mass shooters. If it weren't for women and it was just men we would have blown ourselves up by now etc.. etc.. etc...

But why is it every time there's a female fugitive on a John Walsh show wanted for a crime against a man there is always a woman defending her and reasoning why she must be innocent. It doesn't matter the type of violent of parental abduction crime, there is always a female commenter popping up to defend her!

Men can be victims too! Men can be domestic violence or even rape victims of women but it is a largely underrepresented statistic because they are too embarrassed to come forward.

Now this husband who could have died is automatically assumed to be the culprit instead of the fact legally speaking it is believed he is the victim, while the accused is on the run instead of at trial.

I'm just sick and tired of this the woman always abducted her kid for good cause, or she must have harmed/killed the husband because she was beaten or harmed by him crap (not that those types of cases don't happen).

What makes this even more infuriating is how many women are agreeing with or liking the "how do we know he wasn't raping her?" comments.

I know I've talked a lot about how women are the number one demographic of true crime and I'm not trying to turn this into a man vs. woman thing or make our forum such. Quite frankly, I'll even admit USUALLY us men are the worst and I'm sorry for you ladies out there that have to constantly put up with us.

However, women can be evil also and women can commit crimes against men and it would be nice to not make assumptions and cast blame on men who may be potential victims and ARE ACTUALLY CONSIDERED THE VICTIM BY THE LAW before jurors or the law can decide the facts of a case.

They updated the article about Heming to make it clear it was simply unwanted sex with him and mentioning the husband having video evidence of putting powder in her food. Some people are still defending her after the article updated since they're morons, but at least In Pursuit tried.

True, and yeah the main point of my rant is still in tact, just Andrea Heming wasn't the best example. That is NOT to cast aspersions on the husband or criticize the writer of the ID article, just the original wording left things open for interpretation and even when they fixed it the posters who read the original article already had their minds made up and it's hard to undo a human being's initial assumptions.

But my main point is whenever you see a Facebook posting where the fugitive is female and the "alleged" victim is a male- there is usually one if not more female posters commenting on why she must be innocent and/or harmed the male for good reason (or abducted his child for good reason).

Detaining people against their will if you are not law enforcement is illegal. It astounds me the amount of hatred people have on the internet- but what else is new. Those people can go f*** themselves.
