Since there seem to be quite a few energetic individuals here who might have some spare time, I thought I might pose a little poll...

Regarding our upcoming non-profit organization based out of Indianapolis, which is currently in its early developmental stages...

It is essentially like this;

My brother, another individual, and I are the founding members. We have already gathered a group of friends from various professional backgrounds who would be more than willing to volunteer their time.

By the beginning of next year, once we have secured a physical location, finalized the paperwork, and settled on an official name, the organization will be legally registered.

I suppose I should clarify right away that I am not asking any of you for money, or space, or anything of that nature; we intend to cover all expenses ourselves, so please do not worry about that. 😬

What I am asking is that once we are officially established, you might consider helping out in whatever capacity fits within your means. It certainly does not have to involve financial contributions; volunteering or donating clothing and food to those in need—such as children, the elderly, or the homeless—would be very much appreciated.

The operations of the organization will be entirely transparent, and I believe everyone should have full visibility into our work.

Since I am located in Indianapolis, it would probably be quite beneficial to have some support coming from other parts of the US as well.

Our objectives are as follows:

-Providing aid to the vulnerable, specifically focusing on children, the homeless, and the incapacitated.

-Offering guidance and assistance to those facing frozen assets or those being targeted by predatory lending institutions.

-Protecting families with children from eviction by providing both passive and active resistance.

-Publicly exposing predators through various methods.

-Filing constitutional challenges against certain laws and regulations.

-Providing counsel and support to victims of police misconduct.

-Actively advocating for animal welfare, perhaps in a manner similar to how groups like PETA operate.

Now, regarding certain matters; if someone is not comfortable with specific actions, such as engaging in active resistance during an eviction or confronting predators, please know that is perfectly fine. You can still contribute in other ways, and truly, any form of help is welcome.

For those more intense tasks, I have people who are trained and have experience dealing with law enforcement; I am one of them myself, and being detained or held in custody is not something we shy away from. We are prepared to sacrifice our own liberty for a greater cause. I realize we may be seen as people who exist somewhat on the fringes of the law, but I suspect such individuals are often more willing to actually help than those who merely pose as moralists.

If anyone feels they fall into that category, please feel free to send me a private message for further details.

But for everything else, there is a way for everyone to assist, whether through donating food and clothing or participating in protests. It would be a truly noble gesture to help those most in need, especially children.

Please let us know your thoughts; we are looking for supporters from every state across the country.

For any additional information, you can reach out to me via private message.

The organization and our facility are still in the planning phases. I will be sure to keep you updated on all developments as they occur.

At this moment, nothing is being requested of you; I simply wish to see if there are people who might be willing to help the vulnerable in one way or another once the organization is officially registered.

And one more thing...

We aren't interested in political ideologies here, nor do we care for them. We certainly don't want any politics brought into our shop. 😁

Please feel free to ask whatever is on your mind, and perhaps we could even meet up for coffee sometime.

My name is Adrian, and I am currently based in Indianapolis.

My brother John is the future president of our association, also from Indianapolis.

Our third co-founder is Matthew, who is also located in Indianapolis.

If anyone needs more specific information, you can send a private message, and maybe we can grab a coffee. I suppose one of the three of us will always be available to meet up and chat. 👍

But how would you even decide who's actually a predator and who isn't?

🤦

What advice would you give to people who took out a mortgage from a bank to buy an apartment, but now they’ve stopped making payments? They seem to be under this delusion that because they live there, the place is rightfully theirs and they don't actually owe the bank a single cent... 😁

I suppose I should ask, what advice would one offer to those individuals who took out a mortgage from a bank to purchase a home, but have now decided they simply aren't going to pay it back? It seems some people act as if the property is entirely theirs by right, somehow ignoring the fact that they still owe the bank the money they borrowed. 😁

When you consider that there are families with children involved, I feel it might not be quite right to just throw them out onto the street. Perhaps there are other ways to recover the debt that don't involve such drastic measures.

A person's home feels like something sacred, whereas banks are... well, I probably shouldn't go there, unless I'm looking to get banned from the forum.

Maybe we should be looking into providing some sort of assistance—if someone is evicted along with their kids, we ought to ensure they have temporary housing, food, and at least some basic necessities.

As for the bank, I honestly couldn't care less about them. ☕

bluebadger112 said:How exactly are you all planning to determine who is a predator and who isn't?

Well, I suppose there are ways to tell. 😬

For instance, take this individual from Savannah. His name is Ivo Ćavala, and he's 55 years old.

Then there is someone from Pittsburgh, Antonio Biro... Not that I am trying to boast, but we managed to talk him into doing exactly what we wanted.

If there is anything else you might be curious about, I guess my private messages are just a few clicks away. 👍

Man, you guys and your brother are a wild bunch to deal with 😬
But hey, I’m all for publicly dragging those predators through the mud 👍

Paul Evans said:Gosh, you and your brother certainly seem like a formidable duo, 😬
I suppose I should say that I am fully in favor of publicly calling out those convicted sex offenders. 👍

We aren't alone in this; there are others out there.

However, I feel we still need to find more like-minded individuals, specifically those who might be willing to offer assistance or volunteer their time in the future. It would be especially helpful to find people from other states across the country.

Perhaps once you make your way to Indianapolis, those who are willing and able to help or volunteer could gather for a meeting.

Gregory Smith21 said:There's definitely a way. 😬

Take this guy from Savannah—Ivo Ćavala, 55.

Or this one from Pittsburgh, Antonio Biro... Not to brag or anything, but we managed to charm him just fine.

If you need anything else, just shoot me a PM—it’s only a few clicks away. 👍

Heh. You can probably imagine us trying to charm someone actually more powerful than us. Out in the Midwest, there are criminals way scarier than any known predator in the USA—I won't name names, but they're easy enough to find. Why don't you try charming them instead? 🍿

It isn't merely about that specific point...

I find myself wondering about those who have been displaced, particularly when they have children or elderly relatives to care for.

It’s quite unfortunate, I suppose, because now there will inevitably be some callous individual who tries to peddle empty platitudes along the lines of "it's all their own fault."

Well, perhaps there is some truth to that, or perhaps there isn't... but the real issue, I think, is that there are collateral victims involved—children, the elderly, and people living with disabilities.

It seems far too easy to simply follow the herd and act as a sycophant, blindly supporting the big banks and other major institutions.

We need to help people; if someone is being evicted along with their children, we should at least make sure they have temporary housing, food, and basic necessities.

Honestly, screw the banks. ☕

I simply cannot support a system where someone can take money that doesn't belong to them, refuse to ever pay it back, claim it's theirs, and then use force against the person who is legally trying to get their own money back.

People like that aren't any better than the thieves you all claim to be "fighting" against.

EDIT: If you feel so strongly about this, why don't you and your brother just hand over your own cash to these people so they don't end up homeless? Just set aside $150,000 to $200,000 for each family and then the problem is solved! 👍

bluebadger112 As stated by:
I suppose one could imagine trying to play games with someone far more powerful than oneself. Honestly, if you look at certain areas in the Midwest, there are criminals there who are significantly more depraved than any notorious offender you might find in the USA; I won't go naming names specifically, though I suspect anyone would find them easy enough to recall. Perhaps it would be more effective to focus your attention on them instead? 🍿

I suppose I could mention that the inmates you’re referring to would likely take great pleasure in giving those kinds of pedophiles a very rough time once they find themselves behind bars.

I suppose I don't particularly care if someone chooses to deal drugs, steal, or engage in robbery and similar activities.

It seems to me that they will likely publish stories like these in the newspapers, yet somehow manage to find ways to protect pedophiles instead.

I suppose there was this one case in an Indianapolis prison where a certain pedophile was required to clean the cell toilets on a daily basis...

And besides, I suppose those "criminally inclined" types will be more inclined to lend you a hand than some self-righteous moralizer ever would. Even the sports fans seem to step up and help in their own way, I guess.

I suppose you could go ahead and name them if you wanted to, though I imagine you probably know quite a few of those people, including perhaps half of the inmates over at the Indianapolis correctional facility.

If you happen to be interested in discussing this matter in greater detail, I suppose you could always reach out to me via private message.

I honestly wish someone would step up and show some real backbone against the actual heavy hitters in the criminal underworld. And I’m not talking about those petty small-timers who snatch a few bucks from a corner store or get into a scrap over a little bit of weed. What I really want to know is why nobody seems to have the guts to call out the real sharks—the ones sitting in high-ranking positions, rigging government contracts and pocketing millions of dollars without even blinking. Unfortunately, these people are considered pillars of the community, and instead of facing pushback, people actually vote them into office. Meanwhile, the courts drag their cases out for years and years, and not a single one of them ever faces any real consequences.
The real question is, how do we actually fix this? 😳

EDIT: I might suggest that in situations like these, perhaps you and your brother could just give your own money to these people so they don't end up homeless. Maybe just set aside $100,000 to $200,000 for each person, and then the problem would be solved.👍

That may be true, but I don't think it's really a solution to evict someone or put their house up for auction just because they owe $2,000.

Honestly, it just doesn't seem right.

And what about the children or the vulnerable people left out on the streets? 🤔

I doubt anyone is actually going to step up and help you at the end of the day.

How one might go about solving such a problem is a difficult question, I guess. 😳

I find myself agreeing with you on this point. 👍

I’m just seeing this now, which is quite interesting 🍿

But honestly, what does it even matter? Slapping around some pathetic old perverts with low IBM scores isn't going to change anything; they aren't relevant to the larger scope of this entire struggle. You haven't seen anything yet—the actual hardcore predators and those producing material right here in the States are a whole different breed entirely. I doubt you'll ever even encounter them in person.

I guess it might not matter much what people think about attacking some pathetic old men with low IBM scores, because they probably aren't even central to the whole situation or the broader struggle. One could argue that the truly dangerous predators and those producing illicit material in this country are people you would likely never encounter, let alone deal with directly.

They certainly exist, ranging from elderly individuals all the way down to people my own age....

It seems to me that manipulation is a gradual process, occurring step by step. 😁

Furthermore, I suspect that targeting those individuals isn't the sole objective of the association. There is also a focus on providing aid and protection to victims, which I believe is a far more significant and weighty goal than simply calling out pedophiles.

Once the association is officially established, we will perhaps see how many people are actually willing to step up and help those in need.

steelorca5 said:I just caught this, how interesting 🍿

But honestly, what's the point of all this? Harassing some pathetic old men with low IQ scores from Elon Musk isn't going to change anything—they aren't relevant to the bigger picture or the actual fight. You haven't even seen the truly hardcore predators or the ones producing material in these parts, let alone come face-to-face with them.

Pedophiles are just such a repulsive group of people. I realize it’s a disorder and that they can't help their attractions or control what triggers them. But seriously, if that's just who you are and you're dealing with that kind of sickness, then you need to keep it to yourself and live with it. You can't just turn it into reality and abuse children. It's simply not an option.
