This is true. The director of Jeepers Creepers 3, Victor Salva, is a convicted child molester. He sexually assaulted a child while on the set of a movie he directed back in the 90s. He filmed the assault and was also charged with possession of child pornography. Don’t support this movie or give it a cent of your money. It’s already hard enough for sexual assault victims to come out with what happened, especially if their abuser has a lot of power and money. Don’t add on to the trend of forgiving celebrity rapists. STOP GIVING THESE MEN FREE PASSES.
This is not a scam. My grandpa was recently forced to leave his house in Arkansas because of some really unsafe living conditions. He was living with another family nearby, but they are even worse off than he is with no running water, a wood stove as a heater, and eating roadkill for dinner. He felt like he was too much of a burden on them so he left and lived in his truck in the Walmart parking lot for a week. A long time ago a friend of his borrowed my grandpa’s camper and just now returned it, so now my grandpa is living in it but has no way to pay bills, communicate, and just sits around all day doing nothing because he can’t afford to do anything. My mom wants to buy him a simple and cheap laptop so that he can have access to the internet and I would love to buy some kind of wifi box for his camper (Otherwise he will have to sit at the gas station or Walmart and use their wifi). I know it is a busy and expensive time of the year for everyone, but if you could donate even a dollar it would mean the world to my family. (Also, if you think this is a scam please just message me and I will show you his facebook and texts from my mom, voicemails from his wife, etc.) Thank you all so much.
Note: I took out a lot of info because my mom is worried and doesn’t want anyone living around him to know the details
Update for everyone (12/4/16): First off thank you so much to anyone who has shared this with others, even if you can’t donate sharing this could get it to the people who can. Secondly, a huge thank you to the anonymous donor who generously gave $100 to help my grandpa. My mom still cannot believe it. She told me today that a friend of his has a very old laptop they are letting him use but he still has issues and it is definitely not a reliable source for him right now. She also told me that in the process of leaving his home, his glasses were purposefully broken (Not by him). They were his backup pair because his original pair was also broken, so now he needs new glasses as well and of course can’t afford them. I didn’t say this in the original post but he is on disability and I’m sure that those reading this who are also on disability can attest to how little income that can be for someone with all the normal expenses of day to day life. I’ve decided to leave our goal still at $250 because I don’t want to become over-ambitious, but if anyone would like to donate it would mean so much to us. I hope everybody is having a great week and happy holidays/month :)
UPDATE AS OF JUNE 27th 2017:
Hi all, I know it’s been a few months and this whole situation has been taken care of and completed, but I felt like I should give one last update for those who still might be thinking of my grandpa. He is doing VERY well right now. We managed to go over goal and raise $300 which YouCaring gave me 100% of. I gave the money to my grandpa around Christmas time and I wish I could have recorded it for you all to see. He was so happy crying tears of joy and so was my mother. With the money you all raised he was able to get the laptop his friend gave him repaired, get new glasses (he had a FREE eye exam!), and had just a little bit left over to help pay for getting his truck fixed (the tires badly needed replacing and his insurance had expired). We had some really tough things happen on Mother’s Day this year, but he is handling it all so much better than I could have dreamed. It sounds silly, but I think he has been able to cope so well because he had the computer as a distraction. He finds recipes to cook (he lives in a camper right now and his kitchen is so so tiny but he loves it) and he uses my family’s Netflix account to watch movies and tv. He’s obsessed with the flash and green arrow right now! He also loves sending me weird buildings to look at (look up Abboretum Trsteno it’s WILD and it’s also his desktop background so yeah) I cannot say THANK YOU enough to everybody who shared this post and donated. I would also like to thank Youcaring.com for hosting my fundraiser and truly giving me 100% of the donations received. I hope everyone has a wonderful year!!
imo he was being super salty about that tendency guys have to blame their anatomy for their bad choices
it’s like “oh i don’t want to be a creepo but my dick has a mind of its own” “well here’s a scissors fix your life”
or maybe, you know, have some damn respect, and don’t pretend you don’t have a choice of whether to be nasty
i think people have a tendency to take jesus literally when he was actually throwing shade, or to take things in this really smarmy martyrish way when they’re actually pretty snippy
i mean “turn the other cheek” sounds like being a doormat until you picture how it would play out: someone smacks you, and you turn and go “do it again, go on, take a swing buddy, does that make you feel better, do you feel like a winner now?” cuz you know what 90% of the time they will get curled up shame toes and shuffle off
tl;dr: no jesus did not actually want you to take a spoon to your eyeballs for babe watching, he wanted you to take responsibility for how you treat people
Also, according to a friend who researched this type of stuff with a passion, a lot of (like, pretty much every single one of) Jesus’ sayings that frequently get used as “be a doormat,” are actually anything but! A couple of examples:
-“turn the other cheek” (actually, “if a man strikes you on the right cheek, turn to present him with your left”): in biblical times, where the stories took place, the left hand was used for cleaning up messes (like wiping after pooping), and was seen as unclean, so hitting someone had to be done with your right hand if you didn’t want to immediately get branded as a social outcast for being unclean. So to strike the right cheek was to strike with a backhand swing (and was reserved for reprimanding servants, slaves, or anyone else you might view as “less than” you, whereas striking he left cheek would be an actual front-hand slap (aka, a challenge to a duel).
So, “turn the other cheek” did not mean to be a pacifist, even in the face of physical violence against you; it meant to demand the respect you deserve when others might deny it to you!
-“give the shirt off your back” (originally, something to the effect of “if a creditor you owe demands the coat off your back, give him your shirt as well”): in a culture where public nudity was apparently very taboo, if a debt collector is so intent on claiming what they are owed, even if it is literally one of the last few of your possessions, go ahead and give him the rest, thereby making him the cause of a very taboo spectacle, and basically shame the hell out of him for being such a heartless, greedy bastard
