LA Times: scene from ‘The Predator’ pulled because of registered sex offender actor.
Twentieth Century Fox was just days away from locking picture on “The Predator” when an urgent note came in: Delete the scene featuring Steven Wilder Striegel.
Striegel, 47, didn’t have a big role in his longtime friend Shane Black’s reboot of the sci-fi thriller — just a three-page scene shared with actress Olivia Munn.
But last month, Munn learned that Striegel is a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty in 2010 after facing allegations that he attempted to lure a 14-year-old female into a sexual relationship via the internet. When Munn shared the information with Fox on Aug. 15, studio executives quickly decided to excise him from the movie.

If the Actress Oliva “feels like the bad guy” maybe they should remove her from the movie
I was truly shocked reading comments on this. Perhaps sounder minds are starting to prevail. Maybe I can get done with registration before my grandchildren have to endure the punishment of it?

Well, first and foremost, we should all put out the word to our friends and families not to watch The Predator, which opens this week, and not to rent or buy it when it comes out digital and DVD.
Secondly, we should not watch, rent, or buy any of the movies and TV shows this tr@shy c*nt has been in:

So many people are charged with words in email or texts. This destroys so many lives. There should be more clarity, people need to be educated about the very danger that people don’t understand what the power of words can do and the trap has become a very wide snare for stings.
One huge step in the right direction would be to rally for laws to educate people about what a few simple words can do, how words destroy lives and while we’re at it, what porn can do to destroy a life forever. Link the two and it’s a lifetime sentence that few people understand.
In fact, not many people really understand the ways life is destroyed by sex laws until it happens to them.
Yet it’s ok to make a movie with constant graphic violence and gore.
Yup, and sexual violence as well. Sex and violence go hand in hand these days in today’s movies and even on prime time television.
Wow. Predator panic still at all-time high. Sad.
I would like to know the unemployment rate of registered citizens. I would estimate over 50%. The under-employment rate would probably add another 25%, such as a person with a bachelors degree having to work as a day laborer.
Unemployed, we know it’s high, underemployment is worse. Would it be worth a serious poll in our groups?
I wonder if there is a possible answer, and if it is, how could we use it?
One of the last jobs I held I had worked at over 2 years. They never asked for a background check. After I worked there for the 2 year mark I asked my employer for a “letter of Recommendation”, as I always do.
They gave me a glowing letter, stating that I was punctual, responsible and could manage the entire 40 acres of property (Landscaping Company & Landscape shop) on my own, without supervision.
Well, one of the guys who drives one of the landscape trucks got pulled over (NO License). Even tho I never drove a Company truck, or went off property the secretary was told to run everyones name. I popped up as a sex offender.
Within 30 minutes the company fired me. Even with the “glowing letter”(which I still have). No excuse given (even tho we all know). At least they let me collect unemployment.
I was punished again for something I didnt do. Tried to sue for wrongful termination and was told Fla. is a “right to work at will State”. One attorney told me I had a good case, BUT…. I was a sex-offender and it wouldnt fly—sorry.
Even had problems with Unemployment too. Seems that they have a “day care facility” on site, so I couldnt go and look for another job at EmployFla.
I was even “bonded” thru the State ($150,000) salary if someone would employ me. NO ONE would.
And yet, the media pushes this garbage as fact:

I know it’s an old story, but so are the lies the media continues to peddle.
What does having a daycare facility on site @ Employ Florida have to do with you not being able to go there to look for another job.
Iserved,
I went and applied for unemployment after what I wrote above (job dismissal).
While at Unemployment they put in a “Day Care” for parents who were there looking for jobs. The daycare was located directly behind the information desk.
I went thru their “resume writing courses” and all that bull. They asked the group if anyone was a felon, they could get “Bonded” thru the State, Which means that the State would PAY the Employers to employ you.
When they asked my charge, I told them. They said that they would bond me for the maximum– $150,000 (3X as much as what I made).
Then they told me that I was “in violation” of the restrictions of me being within 1500 feet (then) of a daycare.
Employflorida said that I couldnt use their computers to look up employment as it was to close to the daycare and they had to look out for the “children’s safety”.
BUT—- They still wanted me to “report” all my job contacts—– to them —— in person.
Every 2 weeks, I went in there, (against their wishes) up to the receptionist and dropped a stack of business cards off (with dates of contact, my name, and the name of the person whom I contacted) of places I had gone to to look for a job; with no luck.
EVEN THO I WAS IN VIOLATION of their orders….. I had to do this to collect unemployment.
This system is more messed up than any of you think.
IF this “ex post Facto” thing goes thru; completely; with all points taken and applied… In other words, we win completely, we still lose.
HOW???
There will be another Ron Book, another politician, another corrupt judge who will make another law, another type of registry.
Now the rich are being ousted and brought to light as child molesters; Oh, excuse me …. “alleged child molesters” who have multiple witnesses, yet have a pocketful of cash and can buy their way out. All without spending a day in jail.
IF the justice system is as FAIR as it claims it is, all of us should have “million dollar attorneys on retainer”,
ALL evidence should be admitted, not the prosecutor “pick & choose” what is best for their case.
But alas, I live in a dream world where I thought if you told the truth all would be good. That you are INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. That cops cant lie.
Great idea Kayt!
Whadda ya say FAC?
