74. You posted earlier promoting "Sound of Freedom," insisting we all buy tickets and watch it.

That post was deleted.

The person the movie is about is Tim Ballard, who is very controversial and a Q anon beleiver. Serious people who work to fight sex trafficing believe he is sketchy and does more harm than good. I provided you a well written article by a person who participated in one of his ‘raids.’ She explains that he did not actually help the children at all.

You really should read that article and educate yourself. And stop accusing DU’ers of not caring or having “agendas” until you have educated yourself.

Once again here is the link:

Called by God
In 2014, I went on a vigilante raid to “save” kids sold for sex. What we did haunts me now.
