Professional way of saying he’s a pedo and wants to be attracted to girls his own age and and in search of wanting to not be into children, keep him away from skye brown

[Mr. Jax Taylor]

Say what you want about no one but getting Chris Hansen to give Dane and Jamie a shout out is fucking hilarious

Its Unbecoming, Is This A Serious Issue Or A Laughing Matter? Is It Seriously Okay To Meme About Child Sexual Abuse?

Wow bronk had receipts

[MikeCyclopsfromNASA]

I feel like it’s been like a decade now that accusations against Dane like this started popping up, crazy something finally happened about it.

Was also not expecting a Neckface allegation at the end.

[FulfilTheDream]

damn NECKFACE is a PEDO too! some reason im not surprised

broadly speaking I can understand not wanting to fire a long-time employee just because someone accuses someone of something.  I feel like that's what SLAP wants in the instance of every single accusation (if its people they don't like).

that being said, holy fck Dane is total creep bc wtf. it's also clear and obvious Jamie did absolutely the opposite of what should of been done if he wanted credibility.  I personally dont think Jamie is predator, i do think he's made every completely wrong move in this situation in every way and has clearly prioritized 1. money 2. being a cool bro over responsible leadership. 

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and it's pretty obvious instead of being forthright and like "hey, these are serious accusations, im going to look into them the best that i possibly can and publicly address what i find" he just looked the other way bc he didnt want anything to disrupt the money machine.

additionally, the Cody Davis thing, you want to be the business guru and corporate leader?  well then youre not some teenage shit head in the back of the van, and dont act like it.  doesnt matter if your weird creepy jokes dont land, that's just weird and unbecoming of someone at the helm. 

Dane needs to go to austalia bc we dont want him here.  Disgusting.

Nah, but he sure loves having em on the payroll.

[Noble Experiment]

Let's be real though you either hate Jamie for being a Christian or just cause it's the thing to do on slap, nothing more nothing less

Are you sure those are the only two things? What about the, you know, knowingly having creeps on his team and choosing not to address it thing?

[bo bice]

of course fucking Neckbeard is a creep, what a shocker.

[glimmerati]

The fact you are saying this after what's been posted says so much about you and nothing else. You fucking goon.

[bo bice]

Came back to say if it’s true Jamie and Dane are roommates that’s fucking hilarious. Talk about Fallen.

[r.g.]

I can only imagine how awful that conversation must have been between jt and vermin with chiefs kids being right around that age where you really want to keep them away from guys like cole and dane.

Can't wait to see the plumosa/cult bikes "it's not technically illegal, but it is disgusting" tour

Yeah exctly like in the Shane O Neill thread. Such an astute observation of you thank god there are people like you who don't let their judgement be clouded by the way they'd like things to be. Imbecile.

[Taffy Lee Fubbins]

This is a great sentiment but unfortunately does not apply until there has been valid transformation and acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Dane addressing the “matters dating back to 2012” is deliberately vague and lets the world know that he is not ready to own up to his wrongdoing.

Jamie and Dane want to be absolved from guilt rather than making amends to their victims. The person who you are now is built on the actions of who you were in the past. Declaring that you are no longer doing what you did when you were younger (i.e. asking children for nude photos) is not owning up to those crimes and is yet another insult to the victims that you hurt. Don’t see people for who they are intending to become, that hasn’t happened yet. See people for who they are, and what I see is a humiliated sexual predator (Dane Burman) and embarrassed enabler (Jamie Thomas).

I don't think it's fair to put that on company owners, otherwise Rocco, Rick & Mike, Templeton, Reynolds etc would all be in that spot being overly responsible for their employees.

The most disgusting thing i found from this is how little protection children have from predators like Dane in Aus, UK and Alabama. That mf (what I got from reading Bronks article) waited from April to October before he started harassing her, idk if there were more requests, but I think he did that until he could legally avoid facing repercussions 🤮

Company owners being responsible for their employees? It's almost as if they'd have to do their jobs! That's a big ask.

So if you're hired as an electrician, your boss can give you shit about your trespassing and damaging property as a skateboarder? Should they get arrested if you do?

Fall with the Fallen

Also there needs to be more talk on this Neckface issue. The guy always put off creep vibes but those are some serious allegations there that needs more attention, the guy is in his 40s.

It’s always the ones you most expect…

Statute of limitations for trespassing and destruction of property is 3 years. Also if part of your employment of being a skateboarder requires you to trespass and destroy property it wouldn't/should't be a fireable offense.

I could be incorrect but I don't believe any professions require you to solicit nude photos from underage kids. And in Chris Coles case abuse your spouse.

If a company owner has an employee who has a public presence (which pro skaters do), and that employee has an obligation to make the company look good (which skaters do), and that employee does something that’s frowned upon to where the company being associated with them starts to look bad just by being associated with them, then it’d probably be in the company owner’s best interest in accepting some sort of responsibility in addressing it, thus making it a part of their job.

Out of curiosity, when you watch Video Days and there's Guy Mariano as a little kid with a 40 Oz. who is responsible for the legal fallout?

What if we take it out of skate, should Joseph Deangelo's (The Golden State Killer) direct bosses have been arrested and prosecuted next to him?
