A man who was mistakenly shamed on Facebook for being a ?creep? has received death threats after a photo of him went viral across social media.

The man, who has chosen to stay anonymous, was at the cinema on May 4th in Westfield Knox shopping centre in Melbourne when he decided to take a selfie with a promotional Darth Vader poster.

However, a nearby mother assumed that he was taking a photo of her children, so snapped one of him before quickly taking to Facebook to label him a creep?

Obviously, it didn?t take long for said Facebook post to go viral, and for the innocent father-of-three to find out he?d been branded a creep online.

According to the Knox Leader, the man had been sitting in a business meeting when his phone started to go off constantly, after friends of his had seen the post online.

Speaking to the Daily Mail Australia, the devastated guy explained how he?d taken the selfie so he could send it to his children:


I?m a father of three kids and a normal human being? I?ve never taken a selfie before. I was in two minds whether to take the selfie, but I thought it?ll be a good daggy dad joke. In real terms it was embarrassing enough to be standing in front of Darth Vader to be honest.

And now, in a turn of events, the woman who posted the photo has become the victim ? and has received death threats for her actions. She has since apologized for the pain she has caused the man and his family.

So she outright lied on her post with the 'he approached my kids' part? That's fucking awful if how it went down :(

Everytime I see a woman use the term creep to describe someone she knows nothing about, I instantly put her in the stuck up snob category. Women throw that term around far too much, specially on social media.. Think of the outrage there would be if men went around posting pics of chicks whom acted stuck up and labeled them snobs and bitches on Facebook.. Yet for some reason women do this far too often.

I tend to think social media is destroying people's ability to have real life social contact with strangers.

He should sue her for every penny she has

nothing assmonkey or assmonster or crockett or bronco76 wouldn't do, all really low quality people for sure :2 cents:

hey look another one has gone bat shit crazy..:1orglaugh

We have hurt your racist feelings. :(


:1orglaugh

Victim = attention.

What a nightmare....







.

Unless the victim was killed in the LA riot.

yeah just imagine the lady had been black... that guy would be in prison or dead by now :2 cents:

indeed:2 cents:

if that silly cunt really thought that guy was a child predator she would have contacted mall security/called 911. instead she takes a pic and facebooks about it.

what a silly fucking dumbfuck cunt.

A few years back, my buddy almost got arrested at a park because some woman said he was taking pictures of her kids and touching himself. He was there with his own 2 kids and even when the police arrived and went through his camera, all they found were pictures of his two kids playing.

Of course nothing happened to the woman... :(

He missed the "no vagina, no shoes, no service" sign at the mall entrance.

I feel so bad for that guy, even though he's innocent, there will now always be people who still associate him as a paedo. That stupid woman will be forgotten about and probably have forgotten the incident herself in a few days but due to her actions he'll have a lifetime of it.

My mom never worried about that shit when I was growing up...because it wasn't the age of information. And it might have been better to not know about certain things, because these days the media has convinced every parent that every adult is a possible pedophile -- when it's actually the rarest of things.

Yea, thats what happens when people jump to conclusions fast. People need to be more analytical :/

Wouldn't that be a "casualty"??

Oh man that is so fucking scary. To be innocently taken a picture of yourself for your kids and that shit happens! I've never ever ever hit a woman, but I would of came very close to knock her teeth out if that would of been me. :(

Almost the same thing here. Last summer while I was traveling in my Westy, I pulled into a city park in the middle of the afternoon got out and walked around to stretch my legs. There was one other car in the entire parking lot with a woman in it.

I was there less than 15 mins and was about to get back in my Westy to head out and a cop pulls up behind me. He did the standard run of the mill check and asked what I was doing. I have never had a criminal record so cops are always cool with me but he told me they got an anonymous call that I was acting suspicious..

Seriously, a grown man taking a walk in a park is "suspicious" to some of these fucking winches.. Being I knew exactly who called as there was no one else there, I did what any "suspicious mother fucker" would do.. After the cop left instead of leaving as I planned, I instead started up my van and parked right next to the woman and just sat there till she left.. :1orglaugh

Really some women are just fucking cunts..that think Everyman they don't know is there to rape them or abduct kids..

Yes of course nothing ever happens to the woman. Men are second class citizens and their suffering is not important. I blame everything on the pussified white knight men who instantly rush to judgement any man accused of anything in regards to women and children.

I was at the peer in San Diego with my brother once. We were coming back in and there were three little kids along the way playing on tricycles. They could not have been more than 4-5. They were having a blast. I smiled at them and said something like "looks like you guys are having fun!"

My brother told me not to do that because it's creepy. I had no idea what he was talking about.

Yes, there are predators out there. There are bad people. But labeling every person as a creep or a bad person is not good for anyone, definitely not good for kids as they will trust nobody and not be aware of the real dangers that do exist.

It has become a hypersensitive world. Get some balls people.

hmm - sounds like he did talk to her kids, he was taking a funny selfie for his own kids - man what a world when you can't be a nice guy and talk to kids without suspected of being a pedophile. if you're a single guy over 30, hell maybe even over 20, you can't just go to a neighborhood park by yourself, i love kids, if they're hanging out at the convenience store i used to talk to them - but not once I got older.

the good news is this is now one less guy taking selfies.

Totally agree :2 cents:

when i reality a woman is more likely to be raped by someone they know and kids are more likely to be abducted by someone they know.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Stupid paranoid bitch should mind her own fucking business.

Even it he WAS taking a pic of her precious spawn (which he clearly was not) it was in a public place where it is perfectly fine to take photos so deal with it.

A friend of mine had a similar situation. He was at a Christmas expo/convention with his wife and a couple of friends. He took a picture of some homemade candle on a vendor's table and a woman thought he was taking a picture up her 17-year-old daughter's skirt. The daughter was near him, but a few feet away and wearing a long skirt. He would have had to get on his hands and knees to get the picture. She accused him, called the police and he ended up having serious issues from it even though he did nothing wrong.

Sadly this most likely is not over for him.

This is exactly why men in society keep their distance with children. A woman would never be labeled a creep and lynched publicly for the exact same behavior.

Yup. I probably come over as an unfriendly cunt (which isn't too far off the mark actually), but yeah, part so as not to cause any unnecessary worry, part because it's too easy to be wrongly interpreted. Neither is particularly healthy, but it is what it is :(

Indeed...just imagine the reaction that a single dad would get taking his young daughter to play in a city park with all these hysterical mother hens running around after being made paranoid by the government with all the misinformation they are feed about so-called "sex offenders".

The FACT is that most child molestation is NOT done by strangers at all BUT by people that know the kid. The boogeyman sex offender is a myth made up by the government to scare and manipulate parents and nothing more.

Pathetic sheep!

Yes! Like the free range parents that were arrested and their children taken away to social services because they let their two children walk to school together "alone" . 13 & 8

similar subject, but i remember years ago, a mother got in trouble for having pics of her young children, i think like 2 and 4 taking a bath. this was before digital cameras, so she had them developed somewhere and the police were called. i think she had to register as a sex offender even though it was something innocent, something i think many parents did, like their kids first bath

This story is so sick and just shows the world is spinning in the wrong direction.

What the fuck, after this deal the man will think twice doing ANYTHING ever AGAIN.

Who knows maybe he's consider not leaving his home ever again. Only way to be safe.

Fucking cunt!

Lots of good replies in this thread by the way.
