Child Porn As a Weapon

VoiceOfDoom writes "Want to get rid of your boss and move up to his position? Put kiddie porn on his computer then call the cops! This was the cunning plan envisaged by handyman Neil Weiner of east London after falling out with school caretaker Edward Thompson too many times. Thankfully, Weiner didn't cover his tracks quite well enough to avoid being found out — earlier boasts about his plan to friends at a BBQ provided the police with enough evidence to arrest him for trying to pervert the course of justice. Frighteningly, however, between being charged with possession of indecent images and being exonerated, innocent (if 'grumpy') Thompson was abused and ostracized for eight months by neighbors and colleagues. With computer forensics for police work often being performed by 'point 'n click'-trained, nearly-retired cops, or languishing in a 6-month queue for private sector firms to attend to it, the uncomfortable question is raised: how easily might this trick have succeeded if Weiner had been a little more intelligent about it?"

    Only an English person would find this "still" funny after several decades. I assume it's originally from Only Fools and Horses or something like it, given the people I know who say it. How we laughed.

    Oh I don't know.....

    A few years ago my boss wanted to get rid of me (two departments merged and she had too many people), but she couldn't do it because of a signed 6-month contract, and only 1 month had passed. So instead she made-up a bunch of lies (you were watching porn) (no I was not), and other nonsense like saying I was eating too much food at lunchtime. She then used these false claims to file for breach of contract and terminated me. I would LOVE to sneak into her office, offload some porn from a USB, and then report it. She deserves to get fired for how she treated me.

    Another guy I'd like to get revenge upon is the Motel 6 Manager who kicked me out, because he didn't want to give me the 10% sale price the central Atlanta office had applied to my reservation. He too made-up a bunch of lies about how I was yelling at maids (false) and having sex with one of his clerks (hardly-she was not only fat but also ugly). I'd like to fill his work computer with some porn too.

    Revenge is a dish best served cold. Methodically.

    >>>has been accused of abuse 3 times in 10 years. No truth to the charges

    Thesandtiger (819476) probably thinks you're lying, and believes the teacher is guilty, just like he assumed my story was a lie (and then he got modded +5 insightful). SOME people presume guilt no matter what.
