We'll have another pair to give away tomorrow. But right
now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Are you excited? Featuring veteran news anchor kt fun.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Tweets got a wild one here on the northern Texas border. Boys,
There's a group in Oklahoma called Oklahoma Predator Prevention.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They call themselves OPP. You know me.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
They are a group that targets accused sexual predators. Three
members of OPP were arrested and charged with unlawful restraint,
though this is a third degree felony in Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
So what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
They created a fake online person of an underage girl
and a Texas man contacted her started carrying out sexual
conversations with her. So the members of OPP then traveled
to Texas and confront the man on camera at trailer
(01:22):
park and these basically their whole bit is they record
these confrontations. They record them or stream them, doing the
old Chris Hansen bit, and they're intended to publicly shame
the guy and also they generate revenue off of all
the clicks. In fact, their Facebook group has one hundred
and ninety thousand people on it.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
This is like Woody.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Shows, cart and arcs, except with sexual predators.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I see this all the time, and I don't know
if it's just one company or if it's this company,
or if it's just a lane now for influencers, but
catching pedophiles at a meet and then they kick their
ass and I'm like, how.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What if you're wrong? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, well this uh in this confrontation, they start cussing
at the guy recording him, and the man faints and
hits his head. Oh so they called nine one one
when one gets there and they're like, what happened here?
They start to investigate it. It's all on video. They
(02:28):
were pushing him, you know, they were getting a little
violent with him. The guy also he didn't find but
he ended up getting arrested too because they do have
the evidence that he was Yeah, he sent a nude
and all this stuff to a fake person though that
this group of quote unquote vigil antes, but still, the
(02:50):
wife of the leader of opp did talk to the
media and said, our guys are nowhere near the man.
They didn't do anything different on this catch than they've
done on any other catch. Meanwhile, the evidence on the
video shows that they did. They were very much near him.
They were cussing at him and pushing him. There's a
whole big fundraiser that's been created for them and their
(03:12):
legal fees, but they're facing third degree felony charges for this.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Look.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I understand part of what they do, but I don't
understand how they go about it. And I'm fine with
them going to prison because I don't think people need
to take the law into their own hands. If they've
done the research and they have it, then they turn
it over to the authorities. This is wrong, and I
think this is evidence of how this is wrong.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I don't want them to go to prison because I
love that they're doing what they can do to keep
petals off the streets. But there is a legal system
for a reason, yes, and I don't think they should.
I'm fine with them humiliating these guys and filming it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But I always.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
It always makes me wonder, how how are they legally
able to assault these guys. They're now not trying to
defend these guys, obviously, but I'm like, that seems like
a stretch. And then if the whole goal of it
is to just be a brand and market yourself, and
then like it, are you really doing it for the
right reasons?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know, that's the that's the problem. It's the
ugliness of it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, who is the name of the comedian that is
part of Tim Robinson's crew that in the movie Friendship
He gets in that fight with him in the garage
while he's playing the drums Conromalley. That guy has a
whole YouTube skit about this or some meet up with him,
and then they end up finding out aliens are doing
(04:35):
something with lights. And then by the end of it,
they're at an Illuminati party with Protestant rock singer Bono
and Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
They look nothing like him either.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
The actors they got to play Bono nothing like them.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It all begins with that thing that y'all are talking about,
where it's a group of guys that are gonna go
get someone they've set them up, and then then they
start fighting them, and then they kidnap him, and it's
like what the hell.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Sometimes they get these guys to confess and they're like, hey,
all right, you got me. I'm never gonna do this again.
All right, you got me. I'm gonna stop doing this,
and those situations like he just admitted to it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I always feel a little better about seeing that guy
get his ass whipped. But there's just a tiny bit
of me that's like, I don't know, are we sure.
It's just like Chris Hansen when he was doing this
on NBC. They were working with law enforcement, right.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know, and it was just it was this is
not this is just very This is people that are
doing this for profit too, by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
That's the bad part.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And also what happens if that guy would have had
a gun or if when he fell he died, Like
that's what I thought you were going to say, is
that he died when he fainted.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And fell, and then his family sues opp and all
the money they've.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I mean, vigilante group from Oklahoma they had guns too.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh yeah, I had allow.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Probably you know, right, God, the world is so yeah,
it's very bizarre man, It's very bizarre.
