BBC investigation leads to Torture King conviction

“ Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias "Torture King", was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.…

Mr Macartney, a former motorcycle gang member who previously spent time in prison, ran several chat groups for monkey torture enthusiasts from around the world on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.…

The ideas were then sent, along with payments, to video-makers in Indonesia who carried them out, sometimes killing the baby long-tailed macaque monkeys in the process.“

This board constantly harps on the unfairness SMS ineffectiveness of modern media. This is a counterpoint, i.e. I’m asserting that there is excellent journalism still being done.

So you have some evidence that the BBC photoshopped that picture? If so providing that would definitely be a powerful refutation of my assertion that good journalism is still occurring, and the BBC’s work is frequently tops.

Maybe because, after a little research on the making of the animal crushing videos, the description seems strangely similar to a typical abortion.

Attempting to be coy is for phaggots. If you want to troll the loyalists just do it.

OP saw the cherry-picked photo with a Trump flag next to a Confederate flag on the wall, and attempted to use it as a "gotcha".

It's not political. It's just a dumbass doing what dumbasses do.

But I thought Trump folks were patriots, not loyalists. Are we just mixing our histories to suit the mood?
