      1. I’m sure if you make some dumbass comments like him you could get a stalker too. I personally think it’s funny how karma works. He bashed gays now has a gay lover. He claims everyone needs Jesus to prevent you from being a sick fuck like these pedos but denies that anything bad like that has ever happened in the clergy. Like c’mon we all know about the church abuse cover ups. You lose plausibility when you deny facts that don’t align with your views. Don’t even get me started on his skewed 2A views.

        1. They need to be bashed. Keep it in the closet. Nobody cares you love shit dick. It all started with, “just let them get married”, and now they teach pirn to kids and have tranny story hour. Fuckem! You and the stalker should go do what 50% of the lgbtp community is great at….and hang yourselves.
          I’m sure this comment will get deleted. I don’t care.

          1. Wow! You are one angry dude. All of us know that it is difficult to deal with your sexual frustration related to your deep-seated and long-standing desire to lay with a man. You just need to submit to that stirring in your loins. Your life would be much better if you did. You would be calmer, much like you are after you have a smoke. You would be happier since you would no longer be living a lie. Just do it already and chill. You know you want to.

              1. Thou protest too much…

                Everyone needs love. Just get the truth out. You’ll feel so much better.

              2. Here are some links to a study conducted measuring brain stimuli to determine attraction.

                “Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli.”

                Weird. The more overtly you are homophobic, the more likely it is that you actually will be stimulated by homosexual acts. It’s easy to think about. You were taught your whole life those feelings were bad so in order to repress them in yourself you angrily reject them and try to prevent anyone else expressing those feelings because it would force you to consider them valid as well. It’s okay, Straight White Male. There are those of us out here who will still help you and are willing to accept you for who you are.

              3. The comment from evidence over everything is one of the best comments I have ever read on this platform. It confirms all of our common sense opinions of Straight White Male’s true sexual identity and his aggressive denial of it.

                I also hope he eventually frees himself from the cage in which he has imprisoned himself.

            1. Hey Joel. Back again eh? No luck last night? Did you try a Dem party meetup? Maybe Union Park Tavern or Frank’s? I’m sure you will find a willing party at one of these commie hot spots.

              1
      2. lol I was thinking the same thing. “Here comes the basement-dwelling troll to post his YouTube vid” (that no one watches)

        1. These sicko dems posting are the same ones advocating for porn books in our schools. They are pedos/and or pedo sympathizers which is why they feel compelled to comment in any article that exposes pedos.

          3
          1
    1. I wonder who the stalker is. But I know, and so does everyone else who reads his comments, that Straight White Male is tormented by his deep seated and long standing desire to lay with a man. His torment and self-loathing will end when he finally accepts who he really is. Everyone wants the best for him. He should not repress his true sexual orientation. He needs to just be himself. He knows he wants to.

        1. It is ok. I am not mad at myself or anyone else. Who would want to live life in a constant state of torment like Straight White Male.

          1. Christ makes my life great! Nuclear family, that you’ll never have. Thank God. Like I said, jump on board with the almost 50% if the lgbtp fags and end your life. Make everyone happy. You are an abomination.

            1
            3
            1. Hey Brother, just keep on trying to believe that. However, you are tormented. Everyone knows you are repressing your deep desire to lay with a man. Your comments show this is so. Read the comment from Evidence is Everything. You are a textbook example, as evidenced by your many comments, of a tough guy who fights his true sexual orientation. YOU HAVE BEEN OUTED! No amount of bargaining will change that.

              Just be who you really are. You know you want to.

              https://youtu.be/9gxz8wREMPs?si=1iYPWS1MQHMB_sOY

              1. Hey. Was that textbook in the KUSD library? Like the porn books you pedos push on our kids?

                2
                2
              2. I don’t know who is trying to pretend to be me, the ACTUAL Evidence Over Everything but it’s a pretty pathetic attempt. I have to ask, why would someone try to impersonate me and propagate ideas using my name? Are they that threatened by what I said? Must have really hit home with my original comment.

                2
                1
              3. I don’t support this comment. While I do support a healthy daily dose of Sgt. Hard’s library of work I don’t believe straightwhitemale is closeted.

                1
                1
              4. You’ve stated you don’t believe Straight While Male is closeted. With your numerous invites to participate in homosexual activities in other comments, are you willing to admit that you are closeted, (fake) Evidence is Everything? Or are you out and in the open with your sexuality?

    2. You’re going to take him to the shed? Every answer of yours sounds more gay than the next one. C’mon, step out of the closet already.

        1. Here are some links to a study conducted measuring brain stimuli to determine attraction.

          Weird. The more overtly you are homophobic, the more likely it is that you actually will be stimulated by homosexual acts. It’s easy to think about. You were taught your whole life those feelings were bad so in order to repress them in yourself you angrily reject them and try to prevent anyone else expressing those feelings because it would force you to consider them valid as well.

          2
          1
          1. This comment should be posted every single time Straight White Male ejaculates his hatred towards gays and himself. He is the only one who does not see who he really is. Maybe he can be saved from his own personally created Hell.

            2
            1
            1. Oh wow an impersonator?! I don’t actually support over sexualizing our kids or sicko pedo books in KUSD. I’m not sure who the othe poster is but they should stop using this forum to troll and pick up dudes. WTF.

              1
              1
              1. If you were the actual Evidence Over Everything, your statements would be backed up by actual evidence, as I provide when I comment. I’m not sure why you would immediately consider any comment I’ve made as an attempt to “pick up dudes”, but it does reveal your own thought process. It seems you are overwhelmed with thinking of homosexual attraction and preoccupied with sexualising things not sexual in any manner.

            2. Would you like to lay with me and discuss his ejaculation over some wine and cheese? Perhaps Netflix?

              1. It’s amusing how willing you are to express your true feeling under the anonymity of the internet, (fake) Evidence Over Everything. You must really be bothered by the “evidence” I posted in my original comment to focus so intently on me, (the real) Evidence Over Everything.

          2. Actually, just kidding. That’s just reverse psychology nonsense. Why are these losers on this forum obsessed with hooking up with SWM? Like get back on Grindr ya jackasses. Or im sure Andy can help you set up a Jerkmate account.

            1
            1
            1. I don’t know who is trying to pretend to be me, the ACTUAL Evidence Over Everything but it’s a pretty pathetic attempt. I have to ask, why would someone try to impersonate me and propagate ideas using my name? Are they that threatened by what I said? Must have really hit home with my original comment.

              1. Just stop now whomever you are. I don’t advocate for porn books in school or picking up dudes on a media site. Please find another platform and stop trying to impersonate me. It’s pathetic and creepy.

                1
                1
              2. I think it’s pretty obvious, to anyone with any sort of intelligence, who the REAL Evidence Over Everything is here lol. Your choice of words and fixation on “dudes” and “porn” easily distinguishes you as someone of lower intellect. My suspicion is that Straight White Male had his feelings hurt by my original comment and is now trying to discredit me in a vain attempt to distract from his own thoughts. It’s okay bro, I’m not mad at you. I understand.

            1. Finally, the truth from Straight White Male (who is pretending to be me, Evidence Over Everything).

              1. Feeling sad, lonely, and denying your true identity can lead to you lashing out. I’m sorry your life is a tumultuous storm of contradicting ideas, where you find yourself in constant conflict with your desires and true nature. I wish for you to actually embrace what you want, and go out in public, and seek real companionship. Why you would think anyone in these comments is trying to “hook up” or “make a pass at you” is strange. As I previously mentioned, it seems you are fixated on homosexuality. What other explanation is there other than that is what you think about most?

  2. Will be interesting to see what constitutional arguments the lawyer makes. Surprised he didn’t move for change of venue.

    5
    1
    1. They probably wouldn’t need to move for a change in venue until they start having trouble with empaneling a jury, which may or may not happen. It shouldn’t be that hard necessarily to find 12 people who haven’t heard about this.

      As for the constitutional issues, I would hazard a guess that it has something to do with the disorderly conduct charges. The law on disorderly conduct in Wisconsin is pretty broad, and its constitutionality has been challenged in the past. Frankly it’s a bit of a creative way to charge this situation because there’s no laws that specifically address “grooming” as such, and that is going to be an obstacle for the prosecution.

  3. Sooo….. the world’s leading pedo researcher , Dr. James Cantor : “ Pedophilia is something unchangeable & people are most likely born with it” …. Unfortunately, Christian Enwright has mated

    2
    2
  4. I’m glad someone as stupid as his wife has resigned from teaching our kids. Text messages and social media messages don’t lie. Maybe they should just leave town.

    9
    3
  5. April?! Ridiculous. Maybe the judge could work on Tuesdays a few times before then and he would get more trials done. He only starts trials on Mondays- if those cases settle, NOTHING happens that week. He REFUSES to schedule more trials… look at other counties – this is pure laziness. He got elected and now he barely works. But you LOVE him so you will never report about this.

    Or… do we not talk about how he and Angelena don’t work on Tuesdays if their Monday trials don’t go?

    Nothing like wasted tax payer dollars. Just ask Jody – she is the only one who brings this up but nobody listens to her becuase she is always complaining and fighting with everyone. But you LOVE ♥️Jody so we never hear about this either. Or does she have dirt on you?!?!?!? Why are you afraid of Jody? She had A huge reprimand from the appeals.court and you never reported it. They literally read her for filth – so where is your article about that?

    Some people think she or her minion Sarah is your source for stories so you never report about her…

    6
    4
  6. It saddens me to see that Leah is still backing her husband. It is one thing to stand by your man when there are accusations and heresy, but quite another when the red flags are flying. Holly is not the only one….it will all come out and karma will come full circle. I hope for open eyes and clarity for Leah sooner than later…and a peaceful life for her and that adorable baby.
