6 people missing from St. Louis area believed to be in clutches of online cult
A half-dozen people in Missouri who were reported missing in August are believed to have been lured into a cult led by a convicted child molester, police said.
No commentary on the disappearance of these 6 people. I truly hope they’re okay.
But… this man leads an online cult via cell phone from prison?!?
Why are prisoners even allowed cell phones? Especially prisoners who are convicted sex offenders? Do they want them to call and harass their victims and their victims' families?
Why shouldn't they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn't be allowed to harass anyone, but they're people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let's face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it's just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.
But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don't have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we're not really getting our money's worth.
Or maybe he's talking on a butt phone.
That is pretty impressive.
