Most Annoying True Crime Show Fan Comments On Social Media

Here's a new one. Those of you know we now have a link for people to send us private messages outside the site.

Now this was accidentally on purpose- but the past few AMW or non-tv captures we've had- I purposely hadn't taken edited out the post that says send us info if you have any updates because for my own amusment I wanted to see if anyone would be dumb enough to let us know the fugitive was captured- even though we updated that they were captured. I was curious and wanted to experiment.

Sure enough, someone just e-mailed me to let me know Matthew Dion was captured. Yeah, not like we had a Captured with an exclamation point, and had him in the captures section.

So a summary of reading skills on this site- The registration box has "you must put why you're registering in order to be approved" with a gazillion exclamation points- by my count, only about four out of every ten people bother to do so. And when a fugitive is captured and we put captured, put them in the captures section, and post that they're captured, people e-mail us to let us know the fugitive was captured. *sigh*

I shall take out the send us info link for Dion now lol.

Ok here's a new one, saw a guy on Twitter complain that Dateline NBC was better than The Hunt because he didn't "like the fact that the episodes end without the bad guy being caught."

That's the whole freaking point of the show dumbass!

As a matter of fact, Dateline once did an hour on Jason Derek Brown, who of course was still at large at the end of the episode.

Yeah, I mean regardless of whether you like Trump or not, that was completely off-topic. (Technically speaking.)

CNN is covering the story of a Massachusetts Baby Doe that's made national headlines. (It's not on my case schedule yet, so anyone else can feel free to make a thread if they want) They've had John Walsh on talking about the case and I've seen multiple people complain that they're "exploiting the tragedy" to promote The Hunt.

A) The Hunt debuts this SUNDAY. So Walsh would have been on CNN anyway promoting the show regardless of what the current story in the news was.

B) Other CNN personalities have been on CNN shows:

Here's Mike Rowe on Erin Burnett- outfront.blogs.cnn.com/2014/10/08/mike-rowe-follow-your-passion-is-bad-advice/

Here's Anthony Bourdain on Anderson Cooper- firstwefeast.com/eat/bourdain-anderson-cooper-360-korean-chefs-rule-the-food-world/

C) Network personalities promoting themselves on other shows is nothing new. If you watch CBS, NBC, or ABC, you can bet the networks will make sure their sitcom, drama stars will sit down for an interview with Jimmy Fallon or (when he was still on the air) David Letterman or which ever late night host shares the same network.

D) Most importantly, Walsh has stated you can call The Hunt with TIPS on Baby Doe. He has caught over 1,200 fugitives and over 50 missing persons/children. So unlike the other talking heads on tv networks, he actually has the power to do something.

I am really sick of this isht. I know this was supposed to be an annoying fan comment thread and now it's turning into a hater comment thread but I want to state this again.


-JOHN WALSH WOULD TAKE BACK ALL THE MONEY HE'S EVER EARNED IF IT MEANT HE WOULD HAVE HIS SON BACK.- Walsh was ALREADY a successful hotel executive when Adam disappeared. He had a good career and didn't need the money. He didn't even want to do AMW at first and was begged into it. He became the host because of the good he realized he could do. All the "profit" he's made- he would give back if it meant getting Adam back.

-JOHN WALSH IS ENTITLED TO HIS OPINIONS ON GUN CONTROL.- Even I don't agree with all of John Walsh's opinions on gun control. For example, I think putting microchips in guns is a bit much. However, I somehow have the ability to respect someone even when I disagree with them. I somehow have the ability to respect John Walsh for all the good he's done. Some of what he says makes sense- some of his opinions on gun control I don't agree with- but his heart is in the right place. He's trying to come up with a solution to end violence. Disagree with the solution, but to hate a person and want to boycott a person because he has an opinion is ironically contradictory with your complaints about your freedoms being taken away.

OK. Rant over.

I think it's a matter of short attention spans. The comments on CNN are even worse when it comes to not staying on-topic. And the off-topic comments on the FBI's Facebook are flat out bizarre. They'll make a post "Help catch this bank robber who's held up several banks across the Midwest" and someone will comment some strange thing like "Hey FBI, how come you don't investigate who keeps stealing my cheese sandwiches! Could it be aliens from outer space and you're trying to cover it up?!"

This next post revolves around Megan Everett being affiliated with a group known as the "Virginian Flaggers" who supposedly like the Confederate Flag. Already I'm seeing signs of people arguing on John Walsh's Facebook page about the Confederate Flag.
