Happy Gary Plauche Day! (1 Viewer)

[Madmarsha]

Which is exactly where the OP stole his thread title from.. There is a ‘Happy Gary Plauche Day !’ Thread on TD started a couple days ago…. And yeah, Jody posts all the time, he seems to have made a bit of a career in his real life out of being the victim in this case, i believe he has authored some books about it as well .

Just one book I think. "Why, Gary, why?" Watching interviews he's done, he clearly has used humor as "medicine". It seems like most of his family posts on the book of face as well.

My view on the whole thing is that i applaud Gary Plauche for taking the action that he did that day, and that one less pedo sicko is a good thing…. but i am with @Tapxe , the whole celebration on various message boards is sorta childish, it shouldnt be as much a ‘party’ as it should be a somber remembrance of what happened to that poor kid all those years ago .. to me, the people who celebrate it and glorify vigilanteism are just virtue signaling, in real life i dont think most of them would have the cojones to actually go through with what Gary Plauche did that day .

Yeah, I bristle at the "Happy Gary Day". But the truth also is, he ended the reign of terror that man would have spent the rest of his life inflicting on 11 year old boys .. which seemed to be particularly his type.

And that's worth celebrating. Not this crap we got.

I am trying to talk about Jody, not the crap. We can stop that now.

Jody isn't the only one we need to talk or even worry about. Maybe not even the best example. He's a lucky one. He got help and recovered relatively quickly.

The danger is in the estimated 1 in 6 male victims out there awkwardly trying to figure out how to process all the pain and rage in a world which makes them a scapegoat.

Which was exactly my point

I've been watching some u tube interviews Jody's given. He talks about the whole ordeal very candidly and seems to have processed it all amazingly.

Yes, and it's amazing that he was able to. Not the case for so many others.

Jeff Doucet Raped A Young Boy — Then The Victim's Father Killed Him On Live TV

Jeff Doucet expected to face justice in a courtroom, but Gary Plauché had other plans.

allthatsinteresting.com

Though not much is known about Jeff Doucet’s early life, the scant information that exists suggests that he had a difficult childhood. Born around 1959 in Port Arthur, Texas, he grew up poor with six siblings. And Doucet later claimed that he’d been molested as a child.

By the time he was in his 20s, however, Doucet had started abusing children himself. He spent most of his days with children as a karate teacher in Louisiana and had the complete trust of all the kids’ parents.

You can see it right here. Doucet was a victim too. No one cares about that tho. They minimize it as if impossible. Imagine reversing that statement and suggesting that a female wasn't really abused. It wouldn't be acceptable.

Was what Doucet did right? Absolutely not.

If you understand what happens to a child who never feels safe and loved then you understand that they develop behavior simply to survive a terrible childhood which isn't helpful or acceptable in society. Imagine what kind of sick hurt Doucet suffered that drove him to this activity. If you can't, I'm happy for you. If you won't, then you're worse than Doucet imo.

Chances are Doucet was no different than Jody except he didn't have a family functional enough to help him. Then he was murdered before anyone even tried to help him and people cheer like it's solved some great societal problem. There's no hero here.

No, you are celebrating a Band-Aid over a bruise from internal bleeding.

 

[St. Widge]

I remember that.

Filtering it down to yay vigilante dad executes unarmed prisoner let's celebrate murder seems childish.

It's what trolls do.

 

[Tapxe]

It's not amazing. It's predictable and normal.

Jody got lots of sympathy and help. Doucet got thrown under the bus so people could put a pin in the whole sorted event.

Don't let the feel good spin mislead you. Jody is doing great work even tho the story shouldn't be about him. It should be about why he was hurt and how to help other hurting boys or men so they can recover same as Jody rather than become Doucet.

I'm not mislead, I'm not a child, there's nothing "feel good" about any of it.
The fact of the matter is that there isn't much help for the mentally ill in this country and on top of that a child had to be brainwashed, kidnapped and raped before anyone knew.

Anyone watch the Nickelodeon doc, Quiet on the Set?

Not heard of it. Good?

Well, apparently Nickelodeon had a habit of hiring pedophiles. What Drake Bell hints at what Brian Peck did to him in 2001 when he was 15 and an actor at Nickelodeon reminded me of what Doucet did to Jody Plauche including how he duped the parents.

I'm glad more men are stepping up to report. I don't really know if things are better or not for young people. I hope it is.

I'll check it out.

Creepy Dan Schneider is solid evidence.

I don't know either. We should be past the sort of "I didn't know that kind of thing happened in this world" unawareness; but then again, if we're not a pedophile, we don't know how one thinks. Certainly at this point, it shouldn't be a surprise that one who likes children makes sure to position themselves around children. We should be aware of that by now. Yet, you know it's still happening.

Jody says a few things in his interviews. One is that he cites the stats of how many boys have experienced SA (something like 1 in 10 IIRC. For girls it's like 1 in 4 according to the CDC). As I said, he uses humor and he joked about being in a room full of people and looking around and wondering to himself something like, Hmm, I wonder who else is like me?

Another thing he's said is as a parent if there is an adult who seems to want to spend more time with your child than you do, that's a HUGE red flag. Unfortunately, not all parents who need to hear this are going to hear this and that's going to make their child the most vulnerable one.
