Safety Alert Update

When I did my Safety Alert post,

I warned people to be on the look out for this guy:

Walking Candy Machine

For the threat that he so obviously represents.

Well it appears that I was wrong! It seems that we should
really be watching out for these guys instead:

Sorry about the mix up.

I want ice water.

  1. Andrew, I hope you’re not insinuating that ALL gay people look this way and are stupid.

    I’m just surprised they’re allowed to walk around in public. There has to be SOME law somewhere that states that this is not ok. Where did that guy (in the first picture) even find that turn crank gumball thing. Lol.

    • You know, I don’t actually recall ever thinking of that guy as being gay. I just thought he was someone who got his kicks by dressing in a very strange way to freak people out. There are places, like Venice Beach in Southern California, where you see people like him everyday, and I don’t think others even bother to guess at why they do it anymore.

      When I did the original post, I used that photo as a comical illustration of the exaggerated image people have in their minds about what “dangerous strangers” must look like. Then, as now, I’m trying to point out how the “bad guys” are rarely as obvious as people seem to expect. Statistics have shown very clearly that most victims of abuse, children in particular, are abused by evil people that SEEM trustworthy.

      Of course, if I can get you to laugh at the same time, that’s all the better! 😀

      • Dangerous stalkers don’t look like that at all. That guy is about as likely to hurt you as a kitten is. Stalkers try very hard to blend in and NOT draw attention to themselves so that they can blend in with the background and follow people around. As is the case with all of the sick people in the world.

  2. I would so buy one of those outfits if I ever found one for sale, and I’m not gay, nor do I (or many others) consider myself stupid. This desire probably stems from my firearm frustration; I open carried everyday when I lived in Colorado to remind uptight liberals about gun rights. Now that I’m in Montana I don’t (open) carry anymore since the impact is gone because everyone knows their gun rights here. That outfit would be perfect to reminding uptight Conservatives that there is still a right to be different.

    • You obviously get my point here. Thank you. I know little about Montana other than what I read and hear. You know what I mean. If even half that stuff is true, I think walking around wearing that costume there would be a bit more risky than open carrying in Colorado! A long and healthy life to you my friend. 🙂
