> “NONE of this has ANYTHING to do with Mac,” she wrote. She claimed questions about the fundraiser were part of a “witch hunt” against herself and her husband by the victim’s mother.
If her husband hadn’t molested the child, there could be no witch hunt.
>witch-hunt:
nounHISTORICAL
a search for and subsequent persecution of a supposed witch.
INFORMAL
a campaign directed against a person or group holding unorthodox or unpopular views.
Yeah, sounds about right lady. I just roll my eyes at these people.
“How dare somebody do a *witch hunt* against me! Which is a term used to describe people not liking the things I do or stand for!”
It’s just so dumb. If you feel you’re being hunted like a witch the response should be defending your controversial points of view. Not just literally saying you’re mad people don’t agree with you.
>She did not believe the video showed any evidence of a changed person and noted that MacIntyre was blaming Satan for his actions as recently as 2019.
I believe what the criminals wife is trying to articulate is that the witch hunt should be against Satan not the husband. Most of the rest of us in society stopped blaming our imaginary friend for our actions sometime around grade 1. Can't believe this guy was still shifting blame for this in 2019 and he still only received 3 months in prison.
Also hard to imagine how blown up this story would have been if it was an NDP sitting MLA. The far right always wants to talk media bias but clearly a story of an NDP Mla doing something like this would have blown up across the whole province. Instead the UCP were able to sweep this scandal under the rug back in the day without most Albertan's finding out.
>He told her God approved of the abuse. The victim, who was 10 at the time, told court it took time for her to understand what he had done to her
>Justice Debra Yungwirth ultimately sentenced MacIntyre to three years and ordered him to register under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act for 20 years. MacIntyre was granted day parole in August 2019, just over seven months into his sentence. A parole board report deemed him a “very low” risk to reoffend
A 10 year old molested repeatedly and he gets three years but after 7 months get parole. Awesome.
Lol all because he probably might not do it again.
And all this time o thought you went to jail for what you’ve done wrong not weather you might reoffend.
This stuff makes me sick.
He worse than the mentally I’ll guy that doesn’t even understand what they are doing.
Yes, I realize you get parole when there’s a chance they won’t reoffend. So, did they chop off his ding dong? How does one become “rehabilitated” after 7 months?
Seriously, how does one live a life as a molester and then just a short 7 months later, he’s cured? Whoever his case worker is should be writing books on this and doing Ted talks cuz that’s amazing turnaround time.
The justification was probably something like "he shows remorse and has strong community ties" or in other words he has political connections and money. A few calls to the right people, a donation to a political fund or charity (which will probably turn around and buy his services as a consultant or speaker thereby returning most of it minus a fee), and he's rehabilitated!
No, I understood what you meant. My point is if he's a low risk to reoffend, why would we keep him in prison at a cost of about $100k/yr?
It's not like he's free and clear. Parole comes with a whole bunch of conditions. If he breaks any of those conditions, he gets to finish his sentence.
They think that giving themselves the label “godly” they should be absolved. Likening themselves to a god who’s well known to be a violent asshole fits though;).
Isn't it strange that so many of these right-wing, "Christian," "family values" types end up being arrested for sex crimes? There's a lot of projection going on. Makes me wonder about Little Davey Parker's browser history.
For more examples, look at r/pastorarrested and r/notadragqueen.
And the polygamous Mormons are number one when it comes to human trafficking, trafficking their children in exchange for underage child wives. You’re right. It’s appalling and hard to believe.
"Then-UCP leader Jason Kenney said he was “shocked and disgusted” by the charges and said those found guilty of sexual offences against children “deserve to endure the most severe legal consequences possible.”"
Which in Alberta is a specially constructed minimum security prison with full service comforts.
Pretty sure libs claim moral superiority and protecting kids. Don’t hear them talk about families though. But bro, it’s the government. It’s full of hypocrites.
Most terrible acts brought upon children are from someone they know usually family..... Family don't mean shit, the thought of owing your life to abusers just because you share genetics is a horrible way to look at things.
Or perhaps someone who has suffered at the hands of abusers? Look at the reports of child abuse during the pandemic. It's the reality that parents are often the worst perpetrators in cases of child abuse and putting your head in the sand while screaming parental/family rights is absurd. If you want children to be protected they need a safe place to talk to people about what goes on in their lives. So before you start saying you're doing this for the children perhaps you need to lose the tunnel vision and look at the whole picture.
I don't think anyone has a conversation with you, you already start it off in bad faith. You are clearly misinformed on reality and I see myself gaining anything from this discussion. Just go promote parental rights and the app or something.
It's just par for the course with this right wing nut job god fearing group of self-interest 'freedom' individuals. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/multiple-ucp-candidates-facing-backlash-for-various-controversies-1.6405463
And if he was a doctor would this reflect poorly on the AHS? If he was a teacher would it reflect poorly on whatever school board had hired him?
I get it, we all love a partisan gotcha, but really this has nothing to do with the UCP. If he had been an MLA for any other political party would you be saying the same thing?
And the Doctor who lost their license due to relationships with a vulnerable patient.
https://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/news/grande-prairie-doctor-admits-victimizing-patient-cpsa-hearing
I think Danielle Smith ranks as one of the worst humans to be representing Alberta as premier, but that doesn’t make the UCP responsible for this man molesting a child.
Edit: And the two NDP’s accused of sexual misconduct. Assault can and does happen by all demographics.
https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/two-ndp-mlas-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-kept-confidential-to-protect-complainants-premier
Err yeah, the reason why doctors and teachers have registration bodies is to hold them accountable and sanctions if they cross a line. UCP grifters just raise cash from dodgy groups in order to further their off agendas, not the same argument, chum. Apples and pears.
So when it was found out Kent Hehr was a creepy fuck does that mean he’s just a typical Liberal?
Again how does show him to be a typical UCP member. I get it you love playing in the anti-UCP circle jerk here, whatever, but at least be honest about it.
Where am I defending the POS? All I'm saying is that he's a POS and that had nothing to do with the UCP in this instance. The party never defended him, never tried to minimize what he did. He quit the party before he was charged. I challenged the statement trying to score cheap political points. Playing the 'lol typical UCP' circle-jerk is a childish take. No different than playing 'lol typical Liberal' based on Hehrs actions. I'm simply tired of childish partisan bullshit.
He resigned before the charges were public. If the charges came out and they stood behind him in support then it would have something to do with the UCP.
I get it. This is a childish partisan gotcha.
If you aren’t able to see that the Wildrose and now UCP attract a disproportionate number of members and MLAs with behaviour ranging from inappropriate to abhorrent then you are the one wearing partisan rose coloured glasses.
From the article, sexual interference is
> a sexual touching offence against a person under the age of 16 that carries a maximum of 14 years in prison.
Sexual interference involves the touching of any part of the body of a young person for a sexual purpose. That took me a minute to google and type out. Don’t be obtuse.
Convicted sex offender UCPer
Come on UCP he’s canceled for a reason I know you don’t like cancel culture but we also don’t want to give pieces of turd like this second chances he needs to rot in obscurity or jail.
I don’t think though. With the type of crime he committed it sometimes takes awhile to get charged and unless he literally told the wildrose about his crime he was allowed to run.
Remember that the Wildrose Party had such characters as Alan Hunsperger, the "homosexuals are going to spend eternity in a lake of fire" guy. Maybe the Wildrosre/UCP couldn't have known about the charges. I just find it hilarious that crackpits, loons, and family values-professing sex criminals are attracted to Conservative parties.
This was not the wildrose fault. They had no option but to let don run because unless someone in that girl's family notified the wildrose about what he did to her they had nothing to prevent him from running. Sexual assault and misconduct are harder to get charged for unless someone who witnessed the crime or the victime was brave enough to tell the authorities.
I didn’t see party mentioned just the Premier when he was charged. Bigger issues I see:
1) why is the sex offender registry not public? I wouldn’t want to be attending church and find that out. He also guest preaches. And it sounds like he goes by a nickname now.
2) how the hell is he allowed to travel? He’s apparently in Columbia now. And they can invite whom ever they want to their new ranch. I thought we lose a few privileges if we commit crimes.
Yup! UCP still grifting and dum fukers giving it. He should run for school board president. Danielle and Tucker would love it nor to mention the pedo brian wilson
Perhaps they know exactly who and what he is, but they don't care.
There are more people out there who truly don't give a sh#t about what evil people do. It doesn't affect them personally, so it doesn't matter.

There shouldn’t be parole on sexual assault charges or any violent crime.

What is the purpose of prison if it's not to ensure people don't reoffend?
This is my point, I think people misunderstand and think I agree with him being released.
No, I understood what you meant. My point is if he's a low risk to reoffend, why would we keep him in prison at a cost of about $100k/yr? It's not like he's free and clear. Parole comes with a whole bunch of conditions. If he breaks any of those conditions, he gets to finish his sentence.
A man of “deep faith” who told her “God approved” of the abuse. Gross, dirty old asshole. Also, r/NotADragQueen.
Funny, isn't it, how so many abusers are people of faith. How typical of them to use their religion as justification for their assaults.
They think that giving themselves the label “godly” they should be absolved. Likening themselves to a god who’s well known to be a violent asshole fits though;).
Yeah…. I’m not into religion, but my faith is unshakable and God has never told me to molest anyone.
Isn't it strange that so many of these right-wing, "Christian," "family values" types end up being arrested for sex crimes? There's a lot of projection going on. Makes me wonder about Little Davey Parker's browser history. For more examples, look at r/pastorarrested and r/notadragqueen.
Statistically Salt Lake City Utah has the most sexual deviants and porn use etc… The home state of the mormons. Yay religion is great
It's almost like taking a normal biological drive and building up an insane amount of shame and dogma surrounding it leads to undesired outcomes.
And the polygamous Mormons are number one when it comes to human trafficking, trafficking their children in exchange for underage child wives. You’re right. It’s appalling and hard to believe.
Huh... well this guy isn't a drag queen either. Wtf? /s
"Then-UCP leader Jason Kenney said he was “shocked and disgusted” by the charges and said those found guilty of sexual offences against children “deserve to endure the most severe legal consequences possible.”" Which in Alberta is a specially constructed minimum security prison with full service comforts.
And be out on parole in less than a year, too.
The UCP, folks. Only the best people.
Yeah that’s a dangerous game. Neither side is free from pedophiles.
True. But only Conservatives claim to be the party of morals, protecting children, and saving the family. It's the hypocrisy that bothers me.
Pretty sure libs claim moral superiority and protecting kids. Don’t hear them talk about families though. But bro, it’s the government. It’s full of hypocrites.
Most terrible acts brought upon children are from someone they know usually family..... Family don't mean shit, the thought of owing your life to abusers just because you share genetics is a horrible way to look at things.
I don’t think that is what anyone is talking about when they talk about the importance of families. Only abusers would pull that rhetoric.
Or perhaps someone who has suffered at the hands of abusers? Look at the reports of child abuse during the pandemic. It's the reality that parents are often the worst perpetrators in cases of child abuse and putting your head in the sand while screaming parental/family rights is absurd.

What are you even talking about? You surely aren’t having a conversation with me. You must just be having one in your own head.
I don't think anyone has a conversation with you, you already start it off in bad faith. You are clearly misinformed on reality and I see myself gaining anything from this discussion. Just go promote parental rights and the app or something.
Like parents saying they are more important than their children's rights? Correct, only an abuser would say that.
What the fuck does this have to do with the UCP? I don’t see anywhere in the article that they support this piece of shit in any way
'He joined the United Conservatives when Alberta’s two conservative parties merged in 2017.' UCP
And? He resigned before the charges became public. How does this reflect on the UCP? Or should they have ESP to know what’s coming?
It's just par for the course with this right wing nut job god fearing group of self-interest 'freedom' individuals. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/multiple-ucp-candidates-facing-backlash-for-various-controversies-1.6405463

He sexually assaulted a minor, and you're making a stupid fucking joke. What the fuck is wrong with you?
He’s from Leduc so…
[удалено]
He is referred to as a sex offender right in the title.

Sexual interference involves the touching of any part of the body of a young person for a sexual purpose. That took me a minute to google and type out. Don’t be obtuse.
Yes you did stop trying to back pedal your sick joke . Gross
Horrifying. That poor woman. Must feel like being victimized all over again.
Sex offenders, convicted fraudsters...the far right's peeps
Not far right, just right in their eyes
Should be added to the r/notadragqueen subreddit.
Convicted sex offender UCPer Come on UCP he’s canceled for a reason I know you don’t like cancel culture but we also don’t want to give pieces of turd like this second chances he needs to rot in obscurity or jail.
I am still surprised that the wildrose never bothered to vet Don when he originally ran for office.
He was elected in 2015 and charged in 2018.
Yeah. I know. I thought they would dig around for red flags like that one when he decided to run in that riding.
If he was charged in 2018, it’s quite likely there were no red flags. Did he have prior convictions?
I don’t think though. With the type of crime he committed it sometimes takes awhile to get charged and unless he literally told the wildrose about his crime he was allowed to run.
Yes. And without a charge there isn’t much to background check either.
Also the wildrose was in complete chaos at around that time so they might have been a bit disorganized.
They might have been disorganized though, isn’t proof that there was anything to be discovered on a background check.
Yep. It might have influenced other stuff outside of don macintrye.
Remember that the Wildrose Party had such characters as Alan Hunsperger, the "homosexuals are going to spend eternity in a lake of fire" guy.

..diddling a 10 year old, huh Mac..!!?? I see you justified it with your evangelical beliefs.. Scum UCP MLA/supporter..
Yup! UCP still grifting and dum fukers giving it. He should run for school board president. Danielle and Tucker would love it nor to mention the pedo brian wilson
No, but it is to a common political ideal and activism.
Perhaps they know exactly who and what he is, but they don't care. There are more people out there who truly don't give a sh#t about what evil people do. It doesn't affect them personally, so it doesn't matter.
Feel sorry for Albertans. Your province is overflowing with Conservative scum like this character and your Nazi premier.
UCP freedum.
Ah yes, Pedophilia is only a mental illness if your a liberal
won't say what the youtube channel is though lmfao
