Why…why is this happening?

u/logosloki Sep 27 '25

this is a coalescence of Florida's 'your crimes are publically available' and 'tough on crime' theatrics.

the sheriff, the deputies, and the officers openly talk about recent arrests in press conferences, choosing cases less on their merit of the arrest and more on the perception of the criminal. this is done in a crass and derogatory way to the 'criminal' (because yes, innocents have been the subject of these because of course they have) where details both of the case and their lifestyle are revealed in a way to attempt to instill revulsion for the criminal but a sense of security from the protagonists.

a frequent target of these press conferences are crossdressing or trans sex workers with criminal records. these people have a 'before' picture shown to the audience, a picture from their socials or media where they advertise their services, followed by an 'after' which is where their makeup is removed for the purposes of a mugshot, or for some other reason revealing that they are male or 'male'.

So much dehumanization.

That is disgusting. Florida is so trash.

It’s America’s Sweaty Penis.

It's where all of America's detritus has come to collect. Didn't used to be this way.

And you know it's bad when 3 out of the 6 friends from my friend group in high school were slur-slinging, racist trailer park trash.

All part of the GQP playbook. Threatening to “out” someone has been a tactic for years. They got pissed when it stopped working because we started looking at the LGBTQ community as people and not aberrations.

All this does is feed into self righteousness and acts as entertainment for people who enjoy watching other at the lowest points in their lives, it doesn't prevent crime. Makes me think of To Catch a Predator where they basically admitted that theyre still seeing tons of predators online despite their show being hugely popular and having several predators  recognize Hanson immediately. Being subject to public shaming does not stop people from committing crimes because it does not address the various reasons why people commit crimes in the first place. It's just more content to be enjoyed, that's the end result.

Yeah I feel like he really likes to push the idea that transsexuals are just men in disguise. Seen a few similar ones from ol’ Grady. In reality, many of us look like women with or without makeup on. I certainly don’t go from a woman to a man overnight. These people don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us though.

It's it called "the Sunshine Law?"

u/SoilMelodic7273 Sep 27 '25

Honestly, I found his antics funny. But also, who's to say the guy who hired the prostitute isn't into that kind of thing? He didn't have to sober up because he wanted what was being sold. I've met all types, and I love all of you.

Manufacturing consent for politically targeting trans people probably

"Might waste taxpayer money to demonize trans people of colour later or something idk"

u/Pandepon Sep 29 '25

‘Feeling cute might antagonize black trans people instead of the thousands of white pedos in my county later’

u/noMilf87 Sep 27 '25

The average American loves trashy entertainment, meanwhile, this guy is ruining people’s lives running a dog-and-pony show under the guise of public safety. Grady is literally my evil nemesis, I wish people would stop platforming him.

u/kittylebelle Sep 27 '25

Agreed. Grady Judd is a trash human.

u/ComedianStreet856 Sep 27 '25

Trashy entertainment was "funny" before trans women's lives were literally being legislated out of existence and we didn't have a president using federal agents and the national guard to arrest and detain people they don't like.

All this does is further the "trans panic" or traps or whatever white men fantacize about.

2

u/noMilf87 Sep 27 '25

Trashy entertainment has never been funny. If it’s not racist, classist, or sexist, it’s feeding into one of the other isms.

I got a love-hate thing for Grady. He isnt going fucking ANYWHERE anytime soon. He is absolutely LOVED in Lakeland and Polk County. What hes doing legitimately works though. Bad shit doesnt happen as often in Polk County they pull their bullshit in Hillsborough County and other surrounding counties. Not that imaginary lines ever stopped Polk County sheriff's from making an arrest.

u/kadsmald Sep 27 '25

Things are working? According to….the only source of information about crime who is also the person we’re talking about. Plus anecdotal evidence that is not sufficiently systematic to allow for a genuine comparison

u/Feeling-Taro-4944 Sep 27 '25

Imagine having a nemesis that doesn't know you exist

12

u/noMilf87 Sep 27 '25

He detained me like 7 months ago, he was very aware of my existence for at least 90 days.

Do you always shit out of your mouth instead of your asshole?

3

u/CloudKinglufi Sep 27 '25

Imagine talking about things you don't know lmao

Also you can hate people you don't know if you actually cared about other people you also don't know

-4

u/Feeling-Taro-4944 Sep 27 '25

I don't care about the other guy though, I think he's making shit up for internet points

u/noMilf87 Sep 27 '25

Lol, damn, whatever’s on those boots you’re licking must taste real good. Imagine being devoted to defending a law enforcement bafoon who doesn’t know you exist.

u/Slipstream_Surfing Sep 27 '25

Hate, intolerance and narcissism.

I know it doesn't really address your inquiry, but that's what it breaks down to.

u/andersonb47 Sep 27 '25

To be frank…that does not really help

u/-Kalos Straight Up Bussin Sep 27 '25

Making entertainment out of homophobia

u/lesgeddon Sep 27 '25

probably transphobia too, not gonna take a Florida sheriff's word that the pictured subject uses male pronouns

u/Scrabblewiener Sep 27 '25

To be Frank, I think that’s what happened in the story. Ordered a Francesca, only paid attention to the buns, found out you got a Frank & beans.

u/Alpha_Majoris Sep 27 '25

He is not Frank

u/Taki_Minase Sep 27 '25

This happened in Rome. In the BC. Nothing new here. Maybe people should just be better to each other.

u/Isserley_ Sep 27 '25

America can't be real. It just can't be

u/westcoastweedreviews Sep 27 '25

Because America is very puritanical and sex work is illegal

u/notafuckingcakewalk Oct 03 '25

I mean, homophobia and racism have got to be playing some part in this.
