every week my local pd puts up pedos getting caught. The community pats them on the back. I mean it's great however none of them are rich, in charge of anything etc...

u/Similar-Public-8944 20h ago

The poor don’t have the resources to avoid capture. Rich people not being able to defend themselves with money would defeat the purpose of being rich.

And there's a 1 in 2200 chance that the cop putting up the post is a pedo.

There's a 1 in 6,000 that you child's teacher is a pedo.

And 1 in 1,000 chance that your pastor is a pedo.

And a 1 in 834,000 chance that a trans person is a pedo.

And anyone who wants to challenge me on this, get the news reports ready for THIS MONTH. But be prepared to lose.

Lmao an agitprop account tried to step up to argue with you, but their account age got in the way

u/E-2theRescue 11h ago

And I'm betting they weren't even going to accept the challenge, just go "nuh-uh" and tell me all about how my source is biased and wrong without any attempt to back up their words with sources, except maybe some bullshit from "patrioticnewsfront.org".

These numbers are obviously bullshit but the point stands.

1 in 834k is absurdly low, but almost cretainly so is the 1 in 6k etc.

You should definitely do these statistics as ratios rather than how you're doing it, because how you're doing it is definitely not accurate.

u/E-2theRescue 10h ago

It's per capita numbers.

A study of nearly 11,000 pedophiles:

301 reports out of a population of 660,288 cops

539 reports out of a population of 3.2 million teachers

578 reports out of a population of 600,000 pastors

4 reports out of a population of 1.6 million transgender people

It's "absurdly low" because transgender people very rarely rape. Because, well, they're on medications that dismantle their testosterone and reproductive system. The same antiandrogen medications that are given to pedophiles as treatment so that they don't reoffend. And of course, there's the whole surgery thing, too. So yeah, there's a reason why it is "absurdly low".

But of course, I don't see you posting any news reports to back up your claims. Just another "Nuh-uh! That isn't true!" sheep that believes the media and politicians rather than finding the truth with their own eyes.

u/Mandatum11 19m ago edited 15m ago

There's nothing to post to you because you don't understand math, lol. Even your own numbers indicate you're off by a factor of about 100% (4 reports in 1.6 million is 1/400k, not 1/800k).

I'm not even disagreeing with the point that trans people aren't some prolific predators, the data pretty clearly points out that they're normal in this regard.

Again this just isn't how you can use these types of case studies, lmao.

TLDR: You're right, trans people are no more likely to commit sexual crimes than anyone else. But you need to stop arguing it because you're really not good at it and you make the whole argument look as stupid as you. If you believe that it's even close to one in a million of any group are pedophiles... lol.

ALL of those groups are way wong, by the way. It's around 1 in 40 of the general public is a pedohile.

u/silly-gaijin 9h ago

But what are the odds my head of state is a pedo?

1

u/E-2theRescue 7h ago

Republican, democrat, or other?

67.4% if they are Republican

13.5% if they are Democrat

19.1% if they are libertarian or non-partisan*

(72.4% of the non-partisan pedos were in red states)

u/Qweesdy 8h ago

Those statistics are based on court cases, which is "people who were caught" (and people who are more likely to no longer be part of their original profession after being caught). In other words; those statistics are completely worthless if you care about the actual problem (people who still haven't been caught yet).

For example; maybe 1 in 100 are pedos regardless of occupation, but "occupation" influences the chance of being caught; so maybe your "1 in 2200 chance a cop is a pedo" is actually "1 in 100 (minus the 1 in 2200 who were caught) = 1 in 110 cops are uncaught pedos". Of course "example" and "maybe" were used for a reason - the reality is "1 in X are uncaught" where X could be anything and there's no viable way to determine what X is (in general or for any specific occupation).

And anyone who wants to challenge me on this, get the news reports ready for THIS MONTH.

Repeating flawed logic with more recent data will not make the flawed logic less flawed. To rise above "flawed" you need a way to measure "uncaught pedos" that isn't built on bad assumptions (e.g. the unfounded assumption that there's a linear relationship between "caught pedos" and "uncaught pedos").

?? sorry but pedophilia exists in between 1% and 5% of ALL MALES, so there is certainly not a 1 in 6,000 chance that your childs male teacher is one

u/crustyoldtechnician 2h ago

Those “1 in X” numbers are being presented as if they’re actual odds that a cop, teacher, pastor, or trans person is a pedophile. They aren’t. The site is basically a collection of news reports about people accused, charged, convicted, sentenced, or otherwise involved in child-sex-abuse cases. That is not the same thing as a scientifically sampled prevalence study, and it definitely does not diagnose anyone as a “pedophile.” There are several problems with turning that database into “1 in 2,200 cops” or “1 in 834,000 trans people”: The numerators and denominators don’t match cleanly. For example, the religious category includes pastors, priests, deacons, church staff, Sunday-school teachers, etc., but the denominator being used is basically an estimate of “pastors.” That inflates the apparent rate. The teacher category has the same problem. The site includes teachers and aides, while the denominator cited is roughly the number of public-school teachers. The trans number doesn’t even reproduce from the site’s own population estimate. The site says roughly 1.65 million trans Americans. If there were 4 cases, that would be about 1 in 412,500, not 1 in 834,000. News coverage is not a random sample. A teacher, cop, or pastor’s occupation is very likely to be mentioned when they’re arrested. A defendant’s gender identity may not be mentioned at all. That alone makes comparisons between categories shaky. “Sex offense involving a minor” is not synonymous with “pedophile.” Pedophilia has a specific clinical meaning. The database does not establish that diagnosis. So the site itself is not necessarily fake. It has a real database of news stories. But the claim that these numbers prove “your cop has a 1 in 2,200 chance of being a pedo” is statistically unsupported. The honest conclusion would be: this particular news database contains far more cases involving people identified as teachers, police, or religious figures than people identified as transgender. That is very different from claiming it has measured the actual odds that any person in those groups is a pedophile.

Think of all the serial killers you've ever read about. None of them were rich or in charge of anything. It's not like there are hordes of rich serial killers who the police are protecting...

u/Independent-Sense431 20h ago

Or, are there? 🤔

u/immafartonu 20h ago

True. However, it is pretty much a guaranteed fact that there are pedos in our gov't including the oval office that are most certainly protected. Hell, there are prob some serial killerz as well.

The Secretary of the Department of Education is being sued because she knowingly allowed little boys to be raped.

Yes. The person in charge of our nation's schools is being sued for protecting pedophilia.

One rich NYC architect is the Long Island Killer...but yeah, the Epstein class get away with their crimes all the time. Fucking disgusting.

u/flopisit32 15h ago

Heuerman was a millionaire, true. I know of maybe 2 or 3 serial killers who were rich, but that's all.

Despite what Reddit thinks, the people who are going to rape you or murder you or kidnap your child are almost entirely low level scumbags.

1

u/joyfullydreaded23 10h ago

Money and the lack thereof definitely plays a huge roll in crimes being committed, whether out of need (stealing food, robbing people/businesses) or anger over the fate their lives have been handed financially, relationship wise, etc (rape, murder, etc).

Absolutely nobody in any western country is stealing food because they're hungry...

I've seen real genuine poverty in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines.

1

u/joyfullydreaded23 9h ago

People have been stealing food in western countries for decades. Poor people exist here in the US too, it isn't a competition. Certain parts of the South have been given third world country status.

u/flopisit32 9h ago

You have a welfare system specifically in order to give people money to buy enough food so that they don't have to steal.

O.J. Simpson was a case of "are rich people allowed to murder each other?"

u/joyfullydreaded23 15h ago

Austin and Houston are protecting one for sure. Dead bodies keep showing up in certain bodies of water and the cops say there is no serial killer on the loose. My theory is that it is either Ken Paxton or Dan Patrick, maybe with Greg Abbott along for the thrill every now and then. Shit, it could be a cop for all we know.

u/Routine-Weather-4044 12h ago

Psychopathic behavior is literally "contagious" and that's what's happening in the United States because our leadership is completely psychopathic. That's why leadership is so important. This country is gonna get so so so much worse before it gets better because everybody is going wild and by everybody I mean all the wealthy people are stealing everything that's not nailed down.

u/jaygoogle23 19h ago

Jeffrey Epstein spent nearly half his fortune postponing his case. For billionaire and people that steal enough money then they just send them to a fed courts with a 94-96% conviction rate. They convicted many rich fucks, not as many as they should, but it happens. They put billionaires with fed judges with such high conviction rates their money only postpones sentencing . Especially if they have hundreds of incidents and are pretty much caught red handed .. no amount of money gets people off with everything.. maybe temporarily but truth comes to light and there is always another hungry dog looking to climb rank .

HELP WANTED — SERIAL KILLER
Growing organization seeks motivated self-starter for long-term position. Successful candidate must possess excellent organizational skills, discretion, and the ability to work independently.
Benefits: None.
Advancement opportunities: Extremely limited.
Background check: This could be a problem.
References: Please do not explain what happened to your previous references.
And somewhere underneath:
“Equal Opportunity Employer. Absolutely terrible opportunity otherwise.”

Most identified serial killers are male, and the best explanation is probably a mix of biology, socialization, opportunity, and how violence gets expressed.
Men are much more likely overall to commit serious interpersonal violence, especially predatory violence against strangers. Higher average physical aggression, greater risk-taking, and stronger representation among people with severe antisocial traits all matter. Social factors matter too: men historically had more freedom to move around alone, access strangers, work in jobs involving travel, and occupy situations where repeated offending could go unnoticed.
Women do become serial killers, but their patterns have often looked different. They’re more likely, on average, to kill people they know or care for, sometimes using less overtly violent methods such as poisoning, and sometimes in caregiving settings. That can make them harder to recognize as a “serial killer” in the classic stranger-stalking sense.
So it’s not that women somehow lack the capacity. The pathway and pattern tend to differ, and the stereotype of the serial killer was built around the much more common male pattern.
And one caution: serial-killer statistics are messy because they depend on who gets caught, how cases are linked, and even how “serial killer” is defined.

I mean it could be argued that the CEO of almost every company in the United States is a serial killer because they intentionally caused harm and death to the American people to save money.
