Yeah, every accusation is an admission with these people.
- "These people" sounds a little bias eh? I'm so confused at the smear campaign for a movie that vilifies child trafficking.
  
  It villifies nothing. It's statistics are factually incorrect, it sends the wrong message about how child trafficking actually occurs, actively promotes Qanon conspiracy theories like adrenochrome (which have zero factual basis) and the guy staring in it is a Qanon loon.
  "from the movie’s opening montage, which shows surveillance footage of children being snatched by strangers off the streets, Sound of Freedom offers a “false perception” of how the majority of child trafficking actually takes place, according to Albright."

  Almost every time, kids know their traffickers. This movie does nothing but massively discredit actual trafficking efforts.
  
  You want people to be nonbiased when it comes to child traffickers? This film does not vilify child trafficking, it's an attempt to deflect attention from real child traffickers
  
  Picture this. A building is on fire. Standing outside of it is a person yelling loudly "I didn't start this fire!". Nobody is asking him if he started the fire. But he just keeps standing there, yelling at nobody in particular. He doesn't seek cover or anything. He just tells any person he sees that the fire isn't his fault.
  And you don't believe this is odd behavior?
  
  Is it still bias against ultra-right-wing conspiracy theorists if they keep reinforcing it themselves? I mean at some point it becomes just their external image they're self-perpetuating.
  
  Because the people who made it are literal child traffickers. Should we not be “a little bias” against them?
  
  Do you mean the movie that's founder was just caught kidnapping a child? Is that the movie you're concerned about people smearing?

It's always the ones you most suspect.
- Flawless logic
  
  And definitely not meant as a joke. This is definitely literal.

Finding one person out of 6,600 investors is a pretty weenie link for a movie about sex trafficking children. Still kinda funny tho
- One person SO FAR
  
  Time for an educational link: https://www.whoismakingnews.com/#welcome
  Aw, jee shucks. It's not who they told me it would be! /s

Oh weird, I would have never guessed that the person who goes around yelling about how he isn't a pedophile turned out to actually be a pedophile.
It's a good thing these people are stupid.

Some of those who burn crosses… are the ones who touch toddlers.

Republicans are all criminals waiting to be charged.
- I swear, I paid those tolls!

They just wanna save the children....for themselves.

allegations that Marta removed an individual under the age of 14, who was not a family member, without obtaining parental consent and subsequently confined them.
The most information I've found so far, gonna see later whats public record. But regardless, kidnapped a child by no parent consent and confined them. https://www.fresherslive.com/latest/articles/fabian-marta-arrested-why-was-fabian-marta-arrested-what-did-fabian-marta-do-1555158282

Quelle fucking surprise!

Never misses

The "q Anon adjacent" label is, for all intents and purposes, misinformation.
Otherwise, this guy can rot.

He rents abuilding to someone involved in a custody case Very misleading

Something something Pizzagate?

Tbh now a days I feel more comfortable to let my kids play with our Pakistani neighbors kid than the British neighbors.

Read the article, it’s not much more than clickbait on the surface. I hate QAnon but there is little info in the article about the “accessory to kidnapping” charges, which were “custodial” (done by a parent or guardian) and his defense lawyer said he was “essentially a landlord”.
I can’t say with certainty because as I said there’s not much presented about the actual charges, but this article for sure seems like ragebait.
- I love the idea of someone being a landlord somehow exonerating them, lol. That literally makes me more suspicious.
  ETA also literally most kidnapping is custodial, that doesn't make it OK. Still kidnapping.
  
  I'm guessing that the "just a landlord" unlocked a door so that the non-custodial parent could abduct the child(ren).
  That would be accessory to kidnapping.
- Attacking the article so awkwardly doesn't lend much credibility to your "I hate QAnon".
  The headline is "A funder for 'Sound of Freedom,' a QAnon-adjacent film about child sex trafficking, has been charged with accessory to child kidnapping".
  That's as not clickbaity as you can possibly get. It's a short, factual statement about something that happened.
  You could maybe stretch to it being "ragebait" on the basis that it may be overstating his role in the crime but even then, there was enough for them to charge him.
