Some of these commenters sound like they are regular customers.

Others just sound like they are defending pay to play.

And then some mock the guy for trying to stop human trafficking.

I expected better from Freepers.

I expected better from Freepers.

I’ve learned in recent years here, to lower my expectations.

Wait he gives massages? Maybe he just doesnt like the competition.

Or maybe he doesn’t like criminal activity, i.e. massage as a front for prostitution, that casts his legitimate profession as a massage therapist in a bad light and puts the health and welfare of both the “clients” and the women who may be being trafficked in danger?

Sheesh. You ain’t kiddin’...

In addition, he said he has what he believes is proof, in the form of a text message, that human trafficking is happening at one of the parlors. Coates said he reported the incidents of sexual offerings to Fargo and Moorhead police, but that he’s “hit a wall” trying to make something happen.

Human slavery is considered an unforgivable national sin, but almost no one seems to care enough to do anything about it when it happens in our own communities today. Picking cotton in the open air is arguably a thousand times less inhumane than what these often kidnapped and raped girls have to do dozens of times every day. Mr. Coates is a hero and everyone perpetrating, using, or defending this slavery should be physically lynched.

I just came for the comments. Not disappointed!

Somehow if you were innocent but convicted of a sex crime by someone else you would be singing a different tune...

And, judged by outcomes, karma might not be that different from christian love...

[SteveH]

Somehow I suspect that if...

I suppose God gave me the wisdom to not hang out in seedy massage parlors so as not to be accused. I also suppose you’ve never read the Biblical story of Joseph who was, indeed, falsely imprisoned for a sex crime only to realize that it was all part of God’s plan to protect His people.

So, no, I don’t believe in karma.

Perhpas you have not read the NEW Testament parable in which is is proclaimed by Jesus Himself that “he who has not sinned, let it be him who casts the first stone.”

Now since you are the SELF proclaimed morality policeperson, i will be certain to check under my bed every night for you before i go to sleep.

(...Creep...)

Lol

Why didn’t he just say, “no, thanks”? What is the big deal? Is he saying, “what a pure boy am I”?
