  I get dna in my food at a shitty restaurant. These kids got semen in their food, let’s not get it twisted.
context: Not only are this man and his wife disgusting abominable people, the headline is assanine. He is a child molester and pedophile. He was charged with rape of a child. Those are the salient points here. His wife is a school teacher who GAVE THE CHILDREN THE CUPCAKES AT SCHOOL? OMG! They both deserve to stay in prison forever. >
  
  I wonder how many people would not have opened the article if the title didn’t mention the DNA?!?
  Click bait title >
  
  Title also says he fed them to the kids when in fact it was his wife who took them in and fed the kids. Title makes it seem like he did it all on his own lol >
  
  Also did they like make creme filled cupcakes and the kids took a bite and realized? Or did the teacher confess to adding it in the mix? I can't imagine the chlorine present would make for tasty cupcakes. This couple was on another fucking level of sexual deviance. Jesus Christ just join some swinger club and have weekly orgies. But there was something distinctly predatory about this. They got off on grooming and fantasizing about young children. >
  
  He and his wife filmed himself cumming into the cupcake batter, then showed her baking them. She then took the cupcakes to her class and handed them out. 
  That was all discovered after the fact, because his original charges were for raping a child and producing child pornography/possession of child pornography. They found a lot of tapes in the process, and the cupcakes video was one of them. 
  Both of them engaged in sexual abuse of children, and production of child porn. >
  
  I read the indictment and it made me sick 🤢 it's absolutely, mind bendingly insane how vile these two are. 
  They're going to die in prison. Both of them. I can only hope it's the most painful and slow type of death imaginable.
  I want to say he'll get dealt with pretty quickly, but since he's a former cop AND a child molester, he'll probably get thrown in the hole for the majority of his time in prison -_- >
  
  Laced with his 'DNA'? Wow fuck you, it was his SEMEN. 
  Nice try to spin it. >
  
  If the headline was all that happened - it was just DNA, and that was the whole story - this would be an absurdly severe sentence.
  In fact, as you say, it was semen in the cupcakes - and also,
  
  Dennis Perkins pleaded guilty Tuesday to rape, two counts of sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, video voyeurism and two counts of child pornography. He also pleaded guilty to one count of mingling harmful substances for the cupcake incident.
  In total, he and his former wife were reportedly indicted on 150 sex crime-related charges, according to reports.
  
  Perkins and his wife are filth and deserve to rot in prison. >
  
  Costs more to sentence them to death. All the appeals cost the government more money. >
  
  Only because the system is designed to make it cost more money. Doesn't change the fact that they need to go slam their heads against the floor consecutively in apology, anime-style. >
  
  I mean, the alternative is that there will be more innocent people executed. Since our current system seems to end with at least 4% of those on death row innocent, I don't think taking away the few available protections is a good idea.
  Also remember: While this monster is obviously guilty, the 14 year old Black boy executed for supposedly killing two white girls was "obviously guilty" in his time, too.
  I am not saying this cop isn't guilty, nor that this child was guilty.
  But "obvious guilt", something many people suggest for a speed-lane trip to the death house, can change when racism and bigotry are involved. >
  
  Also, when the standard for "guilt" goes down, the trust in the system plummets, and the entire system collapses. 
  You can see this in action in black neighborhoods in America. There's no trust in the police force, because of lower standards of evidence required for convictions, which loops back unto itself, because the police react by being "Tougher on Crime". 
  (There's also social media who convict people in their minds on scant evidence, and witch hunt people to oblivion on pure hearsay. That's a totally different scale of an issue, but it may resonate with people that the first example doesn't) >
  
  Exactly! After reading a story of a double murder (young white couple), where cops tried to get a confession by putting a gun to an 18 year old's head and pulling the trigger, I marvelled over how POC have so much respect. I couldn't even treat them human, if it had been me.
  Not that many have a choice.
  Look at the Ford Heights Four case for the entire story. "Fun" fact: It includes the judges and DA's offices playing a game they privately called "N-Words By The Pound". They weighed convicted defendants, to see which lawyer could reach two tons first. >
  
  "It’s not about me. I just want to make the statement: Jesus Christ has forgiven me. I’m grateful for that."
  Jesus Christ has determined that was a lie. >
  
  I occasionally listen to a true crime podcast, and whenever someone finds Jesus in prison, the hosts always joke about how it's "just that easy", and now they get to spend eternity in heaven... with their victims. >
  
  Oh jfc ew I never put that together before. >
  
  Christianity also tends to have a thing about doing X,Y,Z and your sins will be forgiven and I imagine that draws them to it as well and feeds into getting to see their victims in the afterlife fantasy 🤢. 
  Just say a few Hail Marys, do a bunch of prayers, read some of the bible, and you will be back in god's good graces again no matter what sin or wrong you committed 🙄. >
  
  You just reminded me of a really Christian girl I spoke to once on Reddit.  
  TW: Child SA, this also just gets wild apart from that
  We were up til 6 am philosiphising and debating, and I promise that she clearly had delusions.  Believed her mother could open her mouth and channel the voice of herself (meaning the person I was talking to) as a child so that the person's child self can help her adult self do things like remember what happened to her and work through her trauma.  Think of it like her mother was like Stitch when Lilo has him use his mouth to play the record.  But she seemed to genuinely believe she was hearing her own childhood voice speaking to her through her mom's ooen mouth and that she would be having coherent discussions about trauma with her child self.
  She admitted she thought had a lot of trauma from being raped as a child, but then dropped the bomb that  "God is always angry and telling [her] that [she] have to forgive [her] rapist or else [she] won't be allowed into Heaven."
  She admitted that even thinking about forgiving him made her sick, she agreed that forcing herself to "forgive," him was probably re-traumatizing herself, she agreed that if it was her child who'd been raped that she'd never forgive the person who did it and might even kill the person in that scenario. She told me that she didn't even know if she COULD fully forgive her rapist, but that she struggles and strains every day to do so because she constantly has God talking in her ear that if she can't manage to actually do it that she'll go to Hell and be stuck with her rapist there forever.
  She also admitted begrudgingly to me that she felt guilty.  Why?  She was angry with God and didn't know how to love him anymore because he's making her forgive her rapist. But she has to love God, or she, again, goes to Hell with her rapist.
  It was one of the most shocking, saddening, and terrifying things I have ever heard from someone about their own life and their own feelings, in 30 years.  I can't imagine.
  I'm an atheist and I wanted to pray for her. >
  
  I love the proclamation of "Jesus has forgiven me!" >
  
  Dude, Christians are fucking wild. This guy died on a cross 2000 years ago so that means I can do whatever I want as long as I say sorry before I die. (Not all Christians obviously, but there's a lot of whack-a-doo Christians). >
  
  They don't even have to do that or avoid sin at all. They just have to have water poured on their head and believe Jesus saved them because for some reason God couldn't be around sinful people until his own son was martyred by bad people, so now they deserve to be around God. I'm guessing before JC came around, everyone went straight to hell? I haven't gotten clarification on that. >
  
  Before JC, it was the mean god that required commandments, burning sacrificial lambs/ children, blood over doors, avoiding shellfish, avoiding mixed fibers in your underwear, having the correct people as slaves, not allowing women to speak or have authority over men... And of course mumbling magical incantations to alter reality with prayers...
  Sometimes people like to say good people got put into Limbo until angry god could knock up a 14 year old married girl and have her squeeze out his hybrid godsapien son... That son needed to live as a homeless virgin for 34 years and then be a sacrificial lamb/man to let the pre JC souls into the heaven party... An exclusive party that for some reason has rules for letting people in that a god must follow... >
  
  Wait, was he a “former” police officer when he had access to the children? >
  
  
  Perkins, who had been with the Sheriff’s office since 2002, had been the  commander of the agency’s SWAT unit, the newspaper reported.
  
  Interesting that a serial child rapist can be surrounded by cops all day every day and just fit right in like he belongs there. >
  
  I think its been made perfectly clear that the best and safest position to be in when committing crimes is that of a cop. >
  
  "It’s not about me. I just want to make the statement: Jesus Christ has forgiven me. I’m grateful for that. I hope and pray that anybody that this has affected would also find forgiveness and healing through Jesus Christ.”
  Oh, please fuck off. If Jesus were alive today and knew what this guy did, he'd smack the shit out of him and get his dad to magic his cock out of existence.  Absolute scum. >
  
  Wait, he wants me to pray to Jesus to give me the strength to forgive him for feeding me or my kid cum? >
  
  Religious people are off their fucking collective rockers. Idc if some might be ‘good people’, they’re all delusional >
  
  Back in those days that was grounds for castration >
  
  Cum, he feed them his cum. Cum has DNA in it but it was cum. >
  
  Come again? >
  
  let me recover a bit first >
  
  here have a cupcake in the meantime >
  
  The thing that burns me up is when he says that Jesus has forgiven him.
  That’s one of the main reasons I left Christianity,  the lack of accountability.  Just ask for Gods forgiveness and you have it. 
  I like the Jewish idea of forgiveness,  If you sin against another person ( commandments 3-10), you
  must atone to the person you sinned against before God will forgive you ( murder is unforgivable). >
  
  Plus with Christianity, someone could live basically sin-free but still be sent to Hell if they commit the only "unforgivable" sin: not accepting Jesus. >
  
  Don’t forget not being aware of Jesus.  
  If you lived in a culture that Christianity had not reached yet,  your final reward was the same as someone who rejects Jesus. >
  
  Don't be that, don't be that, don't be that.
  Opens article
  It's that. >
  
  I mean, everyone knew that he is not getting a life sentence because he put his hair or spit on them. 
  PS: Yes, I know the life sentence is for all those 150 sex crime-related charges. >
  
  “Jesus Christ has forgiven me” 🙄 >
  
  Dennis Perkins pleaded guilty Tuesday to rape, two counts of sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, video voyeurism and two counts of child pornography. He also pleaded guilty to one count of mingling harmful substances for the cupcake incident.
  In total, he and his former wife were reportedly indicted on 150 sex crime-related charges, according to reports.
  The headline could use some work >
  
  Everything I’ve ever cooked is “laced with my DNA”. What a stupid headline.
  What the pig did is despicable, of course. Just criticizing the writing. >
  
  The writing is fine. It's the headline that sucks. Journalists don't usually write their own headlines. >
  
  Nice way to minimize his real offenses, it was the child sexual offenses that he did, not the cup cake wanking >
  
  How does one get caught doing this, are they stupid enough to brag about it? Are the victims able to figure it out by the taste? I need details >
  
  "This is cum." >
  
  Butters creamy goo! >
  
  *Tom Brady chiseled face aggressively chugs >
  
  Did they get off on this?  Or find it funny?  Whatever it is, it's fucking crazy. >
  
  "In total, he and his former wife were reportedly indicted on 150 sex crime-related charges, according to reports."
  Yeah I'm going with the first option. It's okay though because Jesus forgives him you know /s >
  
  Idiotic caption because editor thinks keeping facts and truth from readers is preferable to “moral degeneracy”
  THE GUY PUT HIS SEMEN IN CUPCAKES.
  everything is “laced with our dna”. We shed all the time. >
  
  He also raped children and filmed it. They didn’t put that in the title either. >
  
  Seems these “journalists” think that’s less important, >
  
  What the fuck is wrong with a person to make them even think of doing something like this? Jesus fucking Christ >
  
  I love how the title is so misleading. It says that the cupcakes were "laced with his DNA", but then we find out his semen was baked into the cupcakes. >
  
  It's also made out to look like he got life in prison only for that act. Nah, he was straight up fucking kids as well. >
  
  I was wondering about that as well, but our justice system has been known to do some odd stuff in the past. >
  
  Has anyone ever asked Jesus Christ what he thinks about giving out all of these get out of hell free cards?  He'd be like no dude  I ran out of those a couple years after I died. >
  
  He’s like “uh, that shit was just for me bro” 
  Jesus is a gym bro in my imagination >
  
  Semen! Fucking say it! >
  
  Wow. Look at what this pos had to say after his conviction:
  “I would like to say I’m sorry,” Perkins said. “I spent more than three years living in a box. It’s not about me. I just want to make the statement: Jesus Christ has forgiven me. I’m grateful for that. I hope and pray that anybody that this has affected would also find forgiveness and healing through Jesus Christ."
  This mfer can burn in Christian hell. >
  
  Jesus did NOT forgive him. >
  
  His wife FED the kids. Misleading headline. She's sentenced to 41 years too. >
  
  Laced with his cum. Don’t diminished what he did. >
  
  What the fuck is wrong with some people. >
  
  I prefer the Old Testament Sky Daddy who was vengeful and killed people, this “Jesus forgives me” version is too convenient. >
  
  We calling semen DNA now? >
  
  I am sick and tired of some Christians who think Jesus will forgive them no matter what they did wrong. >
  
  This is so fucked up and I can’t imagine this idiot thought he would get a life sentence. That’s a long time for this dude to think about what he did. Hopefully his wife gets the same. >
  
  It wasn't just the cupcakes. He pled guilty to:
  "..rape, two counts of sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, video voyeurism and two counts of child pornography. He also pleaded guilty to one count of mingling harmful substances for the cupcake incident.
  In total, he and his former wife were reportedly indicted on 150 sex crime-related charges, according to reports." >
  
  What a terrible headline. I spent a good 30 seconds trying to figure out why life imprisonment would be the consequence for getting your DNA on something you handle (like most chefs and cooks probably do.) Had to click into an article I didn’t care about reading just to understand what the headline was saying. >
  
  Guys, guys, he isn't a child rapist!
  He's a child and animal rapist. Give him the credit he deserves! >
  
  This is so sick. In high school one of the guys in my culinary class worked at dominos on the opposite side of town. Him and his coworkers would brag about peeing in the pizza sauce before they made the pizzas. It’s fucking horrifying how disgusting people are and how they have no care about the people they hurt. The dude in my hometown wanted to join the military. People like this crave power to abuse others. >
  
  If JC has forgiven him then I want to have a serious conversation with JC. >
  
  That’s an awful nice way to say “jizz” >
  
  How do they not have proper psyche evals for people in the police and roles like that? Seems like we give the crazies these positions and then we're shocked when they do a bunch of fucked up shit... >
  
  Did his mom write this headline? Buddy and wife are rapists >
  
  It’s comedy that people turn to Jesus when they are caught. I’m sure Jesus was your driving force to commit these crimes too right?? Losers. >
  
  “Jesus Christ has forgiven me”
  Bro, no he didn’t >
  
  How was this discovered?? >
  
  Parents worst nightmare here honestly. The teacher they trusted their children to fed them seman laced cupcakes from her husband, a police officer, that the kids are taught are good guys and wouldn’t hurt them. >
  
  The infamous "past exonerative tense" rears its ugly head again to create headlines that downplay misconduct by current or even former law enforcement officers. >
  
  With these softball headlines, you would think these news agencies in charge of these articles are on law enforcement payroll. 
  This is probably the most absurd I have seen. His DNA?!?!?!? Really??? >
  
  “Jesus Christ has forgiven me.” 
  I’m going out on a limb and say his fellow inmates won’t be as forgiving. >

  I know whats he's getting in his grits at breakfast. >
  
  Jesus Christ has forgiven me. Oh the delusions of pedos and their bullshit religion.
