Starting to believe the age of consent is really too low... Must be raised to 65.

I recommended them last night and apparently drunkenly bought them. I’m not so sure of them. I’m sure they will be comfy but are they stylish? Please feel free to discuss your own favorite shoes as well.

Don't shampoo every day it dries out your hair

Don't use a lot of shampoo, just enough to lather and rinse

No 2-in-1 crap

Look for shampoo with only a few ingredients, stay away from harsh drying chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate

If needed find shampoo for coarse, oily, or thick hair

Conditioner can be used every day but don't rub it into your scalp it can cause clogged pores and acne

Don't rinse conditioner too soon let it stay for a few minutes

Maurice Ruiz and Gregory Diederich were both caught in the Riverside sting after they had planned to have a threesome with a decoy pretending to be a 13 year old boy. They simultaneously groomed the decoy and tried to drill into the decoy's head that they were the good guys and that the decoy was lucky he ran into them and not a "creep".

This is how their conversation started:

Maurice was especially weird trying to push the decoy to drive around with him naked in his car:

Both Gregory and Maurice both told on themselves as well mentioning how they both had met minors offline before and talked to them:

Gregory decides to teach the boy a quick math lesson. He is an exceptional tutor:

Maurice chooses an interesting moment to drop on the boy what his desires are. If they hadn't fled immediately and had been interviewed by Chris he would have definitely made a crack about Maurice needing to go to church instead:

Finally they agree to meet in person but Maurice and Gregory have some reservations. Thankfully they remembered the golden rule of asking if they are a cop:

They arrived at the sting house together carrying food after asked the decoy to meet them outside. When Del from Perverted Justice came out (before Dateline started hiring actresses and actors to play the decoys Del would act as the decoy usually out of sight both male and female since she could pitch shift her voice to sounding somewhat masculine) Maurice and Gregory realized she looked nothing like the decoy pictures they had seen even with her wearing a jacket and baseball cap to obscure her features and both turned around and tried to leave...just to get stopped and arrested by the Riverside PD so unfortunately there is no interview with Chris.

Maurice was eventually pled guilty to a charge of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age in exchange for the dropping of two other felonies. He received six months in jail, three years probation, and lifetime registration as a s*x offender. Gregory not only plead guilty to the exact same crime as Maurice, he also received the exact same sentencing. How cute. Couple goals.

Here is Gregory's Megan's Law page:

And here is Maurice's:

Apparently he only has his right nipple pierced. If someone lives in San Diego and wants to verify if he does, be my guest.

They later got married and despite both of them being registered s*x offenders for life they gained custody of Maurice's children which is...something. Especially since Maurice said this line in a chatlog where he was planning a threesome with his now husband and a pubescent 13 year old:

Hopefully at least the sleepovers ended after their arrest.

I can't link a segment because there only very briefly shown and mentioned in the Riverside episode for about ten seconds, which makes it so fascinating. If you don't know, across their weekend long investigation a shocking 52 men arrived all looking to hook up with a minor. So that episode is absolutely jampacked with predators and I can see how these two would escape total awareness and infamy considering the sheer number of guys for the episode to talk about.

Lorne Part 3

Don't worry it's coming, but from here on out the research and writing gets a lot more tedious and confusing, so it'll take some time. I just thought I'd share this in the meantime.

The Sting, or, How to Have the Worst Birthday Imaginable

Picking up from where we last left off, Lorne gets into his pickup truck parked outside his apartment complex in Nashville and sets out on the long drive to Bowling Green, Kentucky where a Dateline camera crew, Chris Hansen, and an assorted law enforcement presence made up of local police and the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation are waiting for him. It's his 37th birthday and he's expecting to have one of the best nights of his life. He's about to finally get the perfect girl for him---a dumb and naïve girl who immediately submits to him. Kayla assures him in the chat that she will give him money so he can afford the gas for the ride back. His plan is to pick her up at her mansion:

to his empty apartment:

and introduce Mr. Peepee to Ms. Vagina. He has with him a cheap Walmart bracelet:

a camera to take some pictures of child porn with (he later claims something else but we'll get there):

condoms, and a carton of cigarettes.

I can just imagine his excitement grow during that hour and a half drive. Despite being 37, he had never had a serious relationship yet besides an online one with a catfish. He was finally going to meet someone in person and take their virginity. An idea that he was creepily obsessed with.

He arrives at the sting house after dark. He pulls up to this huge, impressive house on a big plot of land and he must feel smug at the idea that he as a blue-collar lowly educated guy who just landed a job at a construction company a few days ago is about to take the daughter of two wealthy and successful doctors. You can see it by how confidently he strolls into the house and with his shit eating grin plastered all over his face. He sees "Kayla" and his eyes light up.

And here's something that you will have trouble believing. There's no way that someone could be this dumb.

The three Kaylas

Perverted Justice was not a perfect organization, and by the end of the TCAP series especially they began to get really sloppy. The pictures they used of their online profiles were all PJ members or volunteers of themselves when they were kids so don't worry, I'm not doxxing some kids by sharing these. In Lorne's case the PJ volunteer talking to Lorne as Kayla originally sent this picture saying it was her:

Then a few days later with Lorne insisting to see more pictures of her the decoy sent this:

Here's the thing: to Lorne's absolute smallest amount of possible credit, he actually caught this discrepancy and confronted Kayla about it:

But as you can see he immediately just accepts what she says and changes the topic. But the PJ decoy was so sloppy she accidentally sent a picture with both "Kaylas" in it!

Yet Lorne didn't notice! Further more, when Lorne arrives at the house he is greeted by the on-site decoy, played by Casey Mauro (this name is important to remember for future parts):

Who looks completely different from both of the previous girls. She doesn't even have blonde hair. Lorne remarks on this when he first sees her ("I thought you had blonde hair!") but he's too busy fantasizing about all the statutory r*pe he is about to commit to really dwell on it.

So three different Kaylas, three different blazing red flags, and Lorne was too dense to notice any of them.

The Chris Hansen Interview

So it's really best if you just watch the actual interview between the two because no play by play I could write could hold a candle to the real thing, but I'll note a few things:

1. Lorne's face as Chris walks in is just absolutely amazing. A picture worth a thousand words indeed:

1. At the beginning during his interaction with Casey she tells him how to turn on the massaging chair and he does. He later confirmed to a catfish that the entire time he was getting grilled by Chris Hansen he was getting aggressively massaged by the chair.

2. The moment where Chris recites this line from the chatlog is one of my all time favorite TCAP moments:

1. Lorne is actually the third to last predator ever to be caught on TCAP since this was their last ever investigation

2. The transformation between the face on the left to the face on the right is just magical. It really did turn from the best birthday ever to the worst within the span of fifteen minutes.

Post-Arrest and How Lorne Showcased He Was Even Dumber Than Before

So after the reveal that he was going to be aired on national television as a predator Lorne made his way quickly to the front door only to be greeted by law enforcement who made him get on the ground on the front porch. Lorne was taken into custody without incident and processed. He was interviewed by two detectives and kept crying the entire time. While being interviewed he gave them permission to search his truck despite their being compromising evidence there with the camera and condoms and bracelet, and permission to seize his computer despite their being compromising evidence on there as well.

Lorne gave the detectives enough rope to hang him by saying he was there to meet Kayla and knew how old she was and only requesting an attorney after the detectives pulled out screenshots of Lorne showing off Mr. Peepee on cam. Amazingly, Lorne asked the detectives if he would be going to jail that night and cried even harder when they said yes. Little did he know that he wouldn't be outside of a jail or prison for years and this birthday was his last day as a free man.

Remember how in the last part Lorne was paranoid about the "Yahoo police"? Lorne thought they had nabbed him. As he explained to one of his catfishes he didn't know it was a sting until days later. He still thought Kayla was real. He thought she had gotten careless with her archives and the Yahoo police had intervened by sending a camera crew to shame him as a lesson to other guys. He didn't realize it was a sting and that Kayla was a decoy until his public defender spelled it out for him.

60 Months in Prison

After much convincing and pleading, Lorne's defense attorney finally convinced him to agree to a plea deal where he would serve 60 months in federal prison and get lifetime RSO status and probation.

Because Lorne had crossed state lines and elevated it to a federal case, and that he had the camera in the truck along with the mention in the chatlog of taking pictures of them having s*x which the prosecution could use to push a charge for the intent to create and distribute child pornography , he was looking at a potentially very lengthy prison term so luckily for him his lawyer eventually talked him out of taking it to trial which Lorne desperately wanted to do, believing he had been completely set up and could prove his innocence, which is just the start of how deluded he is.

Lorne claimed and still claims to this day that the camera was in his truck because he was going to sell it or pawn it so he could afford both cigarettes and the internet bill. I do believe he planned to sell it or pawn it...after he had taken pictures of the two of them having s*x.

Lorne was sent to a federal prison in New Jersey, and amusingly I found out that Lorne submitted a motion that he should get time served since he had been sitting in jail since his birthday, unable to make bail, and the judge dismissed it in kind of an annoyed tone.

Lorne, Actual Danger

I know most of this is to point and laugh at Lorne for how dumb he is, but I think it should be noted that if you take a step back you can see Lorne posed a very real risk, and as later parts will show is a risk. If Kayla had been real he had planned to drive her an hour and a half away from home and r*pe her repeatedly that weekend. It doesn't take much of an imagination to see where things could have gone badly, and as further parts will show Lorne has an awful temper. What if she had decided not to want to have s*x and he physically forced her? What if she wanted to leave and he wouldn't let her? He was essentially kidnapping her, because obviously a 13 year old can't consent to s*x and spending the weekend with her 37 year old boyfriend. It could have easily turned violent, or deadly.

Part 3

In the next part I will cover what Lorne did in those long months in prison, what he did when he got out, and how exactly a trolling community started to slowly form around a specific predator

!animalposters

There is perhaps no show more infamous on the Internet than To Catch a Predator. As a lot of you know, I'm writing a book related to To Catch a Predator and my research has led me to a lot of weird and fascinating places. One of these weird places is in the case of one of the most well known predators caught on the show, Lorne Armstrong.

A Brief Background on Lorne Armstrong

There is enough knowledge and documentation out there of his early life before getting caught on the show that it could be its' own separate post, but to give a bit of background on who this guy is before he got caught on the show here are a few things:

1. Lorne was a former member of the Air Force but the actual details behind his service are murky. He served for only a year before being discharged and he claims he was discharged because he failed a test and was told he would either be discharged or have to change his career in the Air Force. The actual truth is unknown.

2. Lorne has the nickname of "87" because he graduated 87 out of 87 in his high school class.

3. He was born and raised in Maine but at the time of the sting was living in Nashville because he has dreams of becoming a country music star, Whenever he had money he would go to karaoke bars and sing song after song thinking he had a wonderful voice. The real reason he fled Maine was because he scammed an elderly couple out of tens of thousands of dollars claiming he would renovate their home on the cheap. In reality he had none of the cowtools and his alcoholic brother stole a lot of the money so Lorne just left the state to avoid getting sued.

4. Before the sting, Lorne had been catfished by a woman pretending to be both a woman named Amanda James and her niece. Amanda James convinced Lorne to send her memorabilia of the NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. among other gifts. Lorne apparently spent two years believing he was in a relationship with her before learning she was a catfish when his sister talked to Amanda James on the phone for a few seconds and figured it out immediately. No that's not an exaggeration. That's how dumb he is.

Falling In Love With a 13 Year Old Girl

As a newcomer to the city of Nashville with a completely empty apartment with no furniture:

Lorne didn't have a lot of activities to take up his free time as he was an unemployed bum living off the money remaining out of what he had stolen. So of course he spent a lot of time in Internet chatrooms talking up underaged girls. Lorne had actually talked up two other decoys from Perverted Justice ready to ensnare guys for the new episode of To Catch a Predator, but he wound up singling out a specific decoy who went by the name Kayla. Kayla is...weird. She's supposedly 13 but has the tone and vocabulary of a six year old. Maybe Lorne found that attractive as it would mean she would be easier to manipulate. Who's to say for sure.

This is how the conversation between the two starts:

It's important here to notice that the chatlog between the two is around 400 PAGES long. It would take far too long to break down every single day or moment of the chatlog, so I will just stick to a faint outline and the most memorable moments.

While Lorne is an absolute dumbass, he has enough braincells to formulate the beginning stages of grooming as evident here:

He tries to lure the decoy into a false sense of security by letting her know he is one of the "non-weirdos" and that she can trust him.

Here is where Lorne initially turns the conversation sexual. If you notice it takes less than two hours into talking before he feels comfortable enough to do it. The decoy playing as Kayle plays along and acts like she has no idea about s*x or masturbation beyond it hurting yet Lorne still pushes her towards it.

I'm going to fast-forward here because as I said this chatlog is ridiculously long and I'll hit the main points here.

Lorne tells Kayla to ask her dad to go shopping and buy a thong because when Lorne bought his underaged nieces a pair of tight shorts it made him feel good:

One reoccurring element in their chatlog is that Lorne is paranoid about the "Yahoo police" finding out what he is doing so he tells Kayla every night to delete her archives:

One of the more infamous moments in the entire chatlog is when Lorne gets jealous of Kayla's 13 year old ex, Derek:

To emphasize how stupid and pathetic Lorne is, here is a snippet where he opens his cam and shows off both sides of his brand new credit card to Kayla, bragging about the $300 limit:

Here Lorne professes his love for Kayla for the first time...after six days of chatting:

Lorne proposes that when they meet up Lorne could give Kayla a Walmart bracelet in exchange for a used pair of her panties:

Lorne explains to Kayla that if she were to swallow his semen she wouldn't be hungry anymore:

It's also important to notice that Lorne would have his cam on constantly and he would always be naked and have it pointed at his peepee. If Kayla clicked away from his cam he would get angry and tell her to click back. He referred to it as "Mr. Peepee":

Two days before their planned meeting Kayla tells Lorne her parents are both doctors. Lorne tells her that her mom could deliver their future children but not the dad because...well, you just have to read it:

Finally, on the day they're supposed to meet:

Oh, yeah, it's Lorne's birthday. The plan is to drive her from her mansion in Kentucky to his desolate, empty apartment in Nashville, where he'll spend the weekend having s*x with her on his mattress on the floor. Embarrassingly, he doesn't have enough money for gas to drive back and has to ask Kayla for some money that her parents have supposedly left her for the weekend alone. He makes the long drive to Kentucky ecstatic at the idea of being with his 13 year old girlfriend, completely unaware his real date is with Chris Hansen and law enforcement.

Part 2

In my next part I'll cover the actual sting and what happened there, what charges he was hit with, and some of what he went through in prison.

If you can't wait to see this guy's whole world crumble down here is the full, uncut sting segment with him.

If you're wondering how we have the full segment when we don't for so many others, Lorne sent it to a catfish since he had access to it as part of his defense. Not just any catfish, though. The second catfish pretending to be the decoy actress who greeted him at the sting. The second out of three different catfishes all pretending to be the same actress that interacted with him in the sting. And yes, he learned they were all catfishes and still fell for it two more times afterwards.

Trust me, this story gets insane.

Poor pup groomed by white woman. He look so sad.

Warning at beginning that this groom was a failure.

Seemed good at first, a bit nervous, didn't take food, but loved pets and was friendly

First sign of trouble. Tried to take the happy hoody off

Does not like claw trimming

2 minutes in and already in the bubble

Commence thrashing. Cat successfully frees herself from hoody and bubble.

Cat isn't actually matted. Resigns to simple butt shave and send her home

She likes brush!

Overall failure but is ok because cat didn't really need groom and this channel does it for free: Around 10 nails trimmed, some butt shave, good brushing

What is he not telling us?

I'm interested in fashioning myself after the stock car boy known as Rapid Roy. I think I may already fit some criteria, I luckily have dark hair so it will be easy for me to take on a slicked back greaser-esque persona which I think will fit here with a few key differences. Essentially, I intend to start wearing only plain white t-shirts and jeans going forward. Here is the basic style:

• A tattoo that says "Hey" on my right arm, and one that says "Baby" on my left.

• I will keep an extra pack of cigarettes rolled up in my white t-shirt sleeve. I quit smoking around 2 years ago, so I'm unsure of this. I would rather not start up again, but this is a key component of this aesthetic. Candy cigarettes would be funny, but women may think I'm insincere if they found out.

• I will need to procure a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

• I think maybe a pair of Clubmasters or Wayfarers would fit well here. Aviators might would be a bit much.

• I will need to find someone who makes moonshine that I can illegally transport. Maybe someone here could help out?

• as a note, I will retain a more "southern boy" aspect to all the above. So please don't think I'm trying to be someone straight from The Outsiders. In this vein I will dirty my white tees and make sure my jeans have holes in them. I will make sure to exaggerate my southern accent as well.

I think all of the above may be sufficient for a new personality. My question is do you think women would appreciate it? I'm hoping I can keep a girl at home as well as honeys along the way. I would appreciate any notes from drama foids.

My toenails are too powerful.

Idk if you're like me and half a life sized Frostmourne replica but this guide will get you straight. I may post Andúril later.

He was arrested for seducing a 13 year old FBI agent and I haven't seen him since. I was very relieved at the time to hear that it was a little girl because I'd feel weirder if he had creeped on me.
