The fact a registered sex offender slipped into the program with family present shook me up also. 😡
Based on that text, the new veteran race association I work with (V.E.T.T.S. Motorsports) added a complete background check to all team members.

Fantastic, I don’t need pedos around my people, it won’t end well for anyone.

I’m surprised you have not outed the pedo. I’m into vetting people pretty well before they get in the circle.
I was shocked when I got that text.
And on top of that, ruined property and made zero effect to fix what they destroyed

It’s crossed my mind and a few others besides you 2 who have the info. If he was posting here and meeting up with people I would. Like I said I don’t know the details of his case other than 647.6(a)(1) to annoy or molest a child under 18.
It is California so it was probably negotiated down from an even worse crime and was during covid so very little time served if any.

@yz450mm called it first said something was off with that guy even though he was a brand new dad with a fiancé.
@Sig Ep Mock offered to out him too. He and his wife saw the guy was 180degrees from the online persona. They just thought he was retarded and couldn’t drive.

Good to have friends looking out for each other. I've met a lot of great people off this website yz450 being one of them. But I've also met a few Sour Apples. One thing I've learned even though we are all here because of a common interest doesn't mean everybody is good people. Trust but verify.

Sadly, the world is now verify, then trust when kids are involved.

@Deckin Around compound has been a sanctuary of safety where kids can run free, but obviously this little intrusion has exposed the cracks in the foundation. Anybody that wants to join in the future better make sure your shit is fucking high and tight, if not you're not getting in.

The member in question that he is talking about also brought a friend on the last trip that was a complete douche nozzle, he's lucky he didn't get tased in the eyeballs and hogtied and thrown over the fence. I'm a very patient person, but I guarantee you that a 70% of the people here would have rolled this dick bag up and made sure he forgot who his Mama was.

Princess cruises has a medallion (fob) that you wear for all your purchases, room entry etc. I'm not sure if it's that or the phones but we can track all of our friends with it while on board.

yep they are everywhere, even on Rdp.

I had a member join a multi day event with my kids present who turned out to be a registered pedo convicted only a few years ago . I don’t know any details surrounding that case but it was a pretty good eye-opener about never knowing someone’s past or motives . He used to post constantly but disappeared after I looked him up because he wouldn’t pay for property damage he caused. I’m still a little bit bitter about that one. It had a huge impact on me deciding against any open invites to our property again which is really sad. Fuck anyone like that, they have a special place in hell coming and I would give them a fast pass if it were my kids.

I remember you telling me about it.. unreal.

With the movie "sound of freedom" getting attention, I cannot for the life of me understand why this person hasn't been named. However, it shouldn't take a movie for people to do the right thing. I am glad it is making more people aware.

As big as RDP is, you do not know if this scumbag got to be friends with someone else, that isn't in your group that you can text.

You just never know who they are going to prey on. These mother fuckers should be outed by everyone and anyone. It isn't like you are just guessing and may falsely accuse someone. This person was convicted and like you said it was probably plead down.

Sorry for the rant. This shit has been a part of my life for a long time (wife's work).

I completely agree with you. All good points. I think the reason I havent openly named him is the same as the rest of the guys with the information. Retribution and liability. I am very easy to find and he has my info anyway. I need less drama.

Lots of families with portable Rugged Radios.


We got really good, fun waiters this run.

Speaking of cruising we’re now on the Wonder.
DCL put some money into the ship and especially improved the food quality.

Last trip on the Wonder the entire dining room mutinied. It really sucked.
Good now.

Totally agree with some of the previous comments, put 7,000+ people on a cruise ship and you're going to have some pedophiles among them.

Once had a crew member who had passed previous random drug tests while working on our vessel. After leaving our boat he went to work for a boat working for Shell Oil. They also randomly drug tested their crew. So, after he'd pissed in the bottle, Shell announced we're now going to search your vehicles, if they're parked inside the fence, within the yard controlled by Shell they are subject to a search. This guy refused to let them search his car. He was reminded, his refusal meant immediate termination. So, he was fired on the spot and left in his 'unsearched vehicle'. Shell notified local law enforcement, provided his license plate etc. LEOs found reason to pull him over and legally searched the trunk of his car. It was full of child porn. He wasn't using drugs. But, he was a pedophile who had previous difficulties with law enforcement.

Hey! Keeping track of kids on a cruise ship can be a real challenge. I remember when my family went on a cruise, we relied on walkie-talkies to stay connected. It worked like a charm and gave us peace of mind knowing we could always reach each other, no matter where we were on the ship.

By the way, have you ever checked out https://www.cruisetimetables.com/cruises-from-palm-beach-florida.html ? It's a great resource for finding cruise options from Palm Beach, Florida. Just thinking about cruises brings back fond memories of our family adventure.
