Sound Of Freedom

[ASUCHRIS]

this was all known before the film came out. Tried to bite my tongue on this, but while people's intentions were good, supporting the film was supporting a grifting, lying sexual predator.

Instead you were accused of using emotion and hyperbole here - I'm sure apologies are forthcoming.

BTW - the whole dog tag story that is a central part of Ballard's narrative never happened, according to Customs

THEY JUST WANT TO HELP THE CHILDREN...WHY WON'T PEOPLE GET IT?!?

Some people should stay off twitter....

Well, all those pushing Tim Ballard on the world will surely be condemning him in the harshest terms, especially those on the board who have been surprisingly quiet! You'd figure if you were so against trafficking and grooming would be especially horrified that the groomer was someone they lionized.

My lord... the guy a lot of you heartily supported is just one of the biggest pieces of crap alive:

To the World, He Is an Anti-Trafficking Hero. Women Tell a Different Story.

SALT LAKE CITY — Tim Ballard had fashioned himself into a made-for-Hollywood hero. For years, he led a nonprofit that proclaimed daring undercover missions to rescue children from the horrors of international sex trafficking. Politicians embraced his call for more barriers on the Southern border...

Glad y'all lined his pockets with more dough so he could continue with his very important mission.

A few of us tried to tell them. But they were too busy "Paying it Forward" (right into a sexual predator's bank account), acting Holier than thou, and being dismissive to figure out they had been duped.

And no surprise he has glommed on with Turning Point - all grifters

Great guy, this Tim Ballard!

Yup.

I wonder how all these people that "Paid it Forward" feel now realizing they were suckers that just paid for hookers??

 

[JohnnyCakes]

please keep political discussion in the proper forum.

God's children aren't for sale...... But hookers, politicians and sleezy grifters remain open for business......

Being a predator of that what you claim to protect is about as low as it gets.

Please keep political discussion out of the movies and entertainment forum

Can you just move the thread to the Politics thread. It's almost impossible to separate this movie from politics.

In the past there would usually be a movie thread and then a thread in P&R to discuss P&R stuff. Or just a movie thread without endless bumps by P&R peeps.

They’re probably starting a Kickstarter campaign for his defense team… and to help him buy more hookers.

There’s a high probability of that being true
