Title: Stop Brian Bates aka Video Vigilante - He's Coming to Tulsa
Post by: MHenson on November 29, 2013, 11:02:24 PM
Please stop Brian Bates. He's planning on bringing his video vigilante efforts to Tulsa.

Really he's a maniac that will prey on your teenage daughters. He claims his JohnTV will be in Tulsa this week to promote his sick website.

However the real truth is beneath. If you can identify these girls please contact the Oklahoma City Police immediately.

Read the website. Still have not a single clue what in the world you're talking about. Would be nice if a website about a dude actually contained any information about the topic. Don't assume visitors to the site know who the person is.

Brian Bates is the self proclaimed video vigilante but really he's been a thorn in the butts of the people of Oklahoma City.

He seems to always have his camera around but never helps. Like the above articles with the Beating, the prostitute lying there body in fetal position and he didn't even help her.

Brian Bates is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is definitely being investigated by authrities and my guess is that's why he's bringing his clown show to Tulsa.

No one likes him, he's a poor excuse for an American Citizen.

Seeing those videos makes me sad. Why hasn't anyone kicked his butt yet?

What crime has he committed? Anyone can photograph in a public place because there's no expectation of privacy. And if he rushed in to 'help' the first responders, he could easily be charged with interfering with officers performing their duties. He might be creepy, but that isn't a crime. However, punching him in the nose certainly is, just as putting up a webpage calling him and his wife child molesters and serial killers without any evidence is a crime.

Likewise, I'd have forgotten about him if someone hadnt come here and set up a bunch of fake accounts to libel him.

His whole website is full of libel and slander and defamation.

He calls women "whores" even those who are not prostitutes. He's says things like "Here's another whore hooker, oops false alarm" that's someone's daughter that he's making fun of..

He's a sexist pig and I hope they catch his hand in the cookie jar.

Calling a woman a whore isn't a crime,  is it? If you believe otherwise, please cite the law from OSCN. His website features Johns caught in the act of soliciting prostitutes or having sex. They're in public so there's no expectation of privacy.

Since you apparently do not understand this, I have to coclude you're merely another troll posting inflammatory material then becoming dumbfounded when we aren't outraged. Either substantiate your claims or go away.

Um, yes it is Ed. At least it can easily be construed as such.

You can also be sued civilly. Better stick with biking and rules of the road... :P

Thanks for the correction, Guido, but have you ever heard of anyone being charged for something like this? I haven't. I suspect the cops wouldn't be bothered unless an assault occurred.

Never heard of it, probably because the statute is archaic and in my opinion unconstitutional. Most cases I am familiar are civil actions.

Not trying to intrude on your little corner of the Internet - but a link was posted on an OKC forum to this thread, so I felt I'd chime in.

The person who started this thread under the username 'MHenson.' This person also created a Twitter account using the name Mike Henson of Oklahoma City and used a real photo of a real Mike Henson from another state. However, I have been in contact with Mr. Henson and he has confirmed the accounts are fakes and were obviously created to troll and libel me, while not only hiding the authors identity but also trying to implicate an innocent. These are crimes and we are taking the appropriate steps. If the person is identified I will also seek civil remedy and advise the real Mr. Henson to do the same.

Naturally you can decide how much to trust posts from someone with obviously so much to hide.

I'm guessing he's some 'John' I've caught in the past.

Regardless, this same person pops up from time-to-time with the same dog and pony show - though usually limited to emailing the media with the same rants.

He also has a habit of creating additional fake accounts to try and bolster his position and opinions. Those are easy to spot because they are usually very new accounts.

Regardless, no, I have no plans to visit Tulsa as a part of JohnTV and have not given any indication of any such plans.

Tulsa's a great city (lived in Broken Arrow for awhile) but a visit just isn't in my near future.

Wow!  That was all random and everything....


I think this Bates guy was one who did video stuff at the Shell truck stop on I-35 OKC right at the end of the Turner Turnpike a few years ago.  The owner was having a lot of trouble with the hookers pretty much taking over in the parking lot.  Pretty blatant.

One question.

Why does brianbates.org link to Walmart?

Exactly what I was thinking. Did you see the name of the redirected web site? RealSickF*cks.com I'm pretty sure Wal Mart might like to know that. Well maybe not. You know, the old birds of a feather thing.

Oh, crap... This guy Brian was just on Fox on the Maury show... I think this whole post is by him in self promotion.

And don't give me crap for watching a little of Maury... it was lunch and I was flipping through.
