Police in the UK yesterday issued an alert for the public to keep an eye out for a man they wish to question about drug-related offenses.
It provoked a huge reaction… but possibly not the one cops anticipated.
For a start, many were quick to comment on the handsome, musclebound man’s appearance. Many offered to house him if he was seeking a place to hide.
His name—Robert Rimmer—only increased online interest.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Here’s the original police appeal:
Have you seen wanted man 36-year-old Robert Rimmer?
Robert is originally from the Ashton-Under-Lyne area of #Manchester but has known links to #Hull, #Cheshire, #Liverpool and #Blackpool.

Humberside Police also posted the notice to its Facebook page. It swiftly prompted over 1,300 comments. Almost all were lust-driven.
“If I find him….. I won’t be givin him back 😂😂😂” said one woman.
“Soooo how dangerous? Take me hostage in handcuffs kinda dangerous or ??” asked another.
“Look at him😱 If I see him I’m going to make a citizens arrest and handcuff him to my bed ….To help Humberside police of course 🤣x” said a third woman.
A fourth said, “My back door is unlocked hon 😉 let’s see if you live up to your name hahaha.”
“Man wanted for drug-related charges hands himself into police after being chased down by a mob of women,” joked another.
Of course, pretty soon, plenty of gay men also entered the chat.
“I’ve got a safe place he can bury himself in,” said one beneath a Wales Online Facebook posting that elicited over 4k comments.
“Is he into guys?? Asking for a very close friend,” said another.
Previous conviction
However, not everyone was impressed or amused.
News reports say Rimmer was previously sentenced to five and half years in jail in 2013 for a knife attack on a former soccer player. Yikes!
“Call me old fashioned but I prefer my men less orange and without the criminal convictions,” said one woman.
If anyone spots Rimmer, police warn against approaching him. “Instead call us immediately on our non-emergency 101 line quoting investigation reference 20900368291. If you would prefer to report information anonymously you can do so via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

I’ll keep looking for him….sigh.

Just make sure to hide the knives away first.

A regular Jack The Lad. Great lips.

I think I’d be able to recognize him more easily in 501’s.
And from the rear.
WillParkinson
Rimmer. Man, the jokes just write themselves.
abfab
Ivana Humpalot and Alotta Fagina come to mind.
bachy
I can only imagine how he’ll be held down by brave citizens awaiting the arrival of the police.
Mark Smith
“His name is Robert Rimmer and officers have warned members of the public not to approach him if they see him.”
Yeah. Um… Good luck with that.

Bob the Rimmer, yes we can.

Jack The Ripper and now Bob The Rimmer! Turn yourself in and let’s see the goods.

The next porn title–so hock him up with Ravache–first, sharpen the knives.

People who look at this man and think he’s hot or desirable while clearly ignoring what he is proves only on thing, they’re sociopaths.
abfab
Oh, Canada! You guys went thru a few lunatics, too. DId they ever catch that sick landscaper who was killing and planting his clients in the gound? Oh, and lighten up, we’re just trying to get thu the week.
Are you watching THREE PINES? You should! Set outside of Montreal in the woods of Canada.

So true. Worthless fa*gots who think only in terms of INCHES

And centimeters!

I prefer getting rimmed by guys without felony convictions. The sadad thing is, had he been a POC he could have looked like Tyson Beckford and they still be calling him the n word with disgust. Oh Murica et al.
barryaksarben
WHAT! no it proves they have eyes in their head and a sense of humor. Hate to break it to you but they are not being serious. He is attractive and I can say he could rim me or whatever BUT IRL if I saw him I would alert the police.
abfab
IRL I love that little term. The things the kids come up with these days.
barryaksarben
so alot of straight men must be sociopaths because when there is a hot female teacher who has molested young boys they all talk ab out how they wished she was their teacher and how lucky the kid is and on an on. your trolling is so bad it is laughable dude
abfab
UK mugshots are so kind and perp-friendly.
mz.sam
A shirtless photo would be more helpful on his expedient identification if spotted in the vicinity.
abfab
Yes. And the camera could have slowly panned downward and then upward again and then to the slow removal of the sweaty shirt. Pass out the X (I’m assuming he’s into that) and then get the cameras rolling. BRITPORN!

That is why we have billions of them alive.

Nothing that would concern me about this man. If he were within New York State, USA, he would be back on the streets doing his thing in less than an hour. Merry Christmas, Robert.

The UK turns out some depraved sociopathic criminals…

Is there a follow-up story to the serial massage porno therapist who killed his boyfriend in Fort Lauderdale. I’d search but I’m really not that interested. I’m only interested in that other heart throb from the state formerly known as The Sunshine State………..Ron Desantis.
Mr.Gavin Elster
Chavalicious, indeed! Did anybody “find” him? Woof! Sigh!”
WillParkinson
Not sure why Queerty is recycling this old story, but he was caught in 2022.

the article about Andrew Holleran forget his second best novel. Of course Dancer from the Dance was a masterpiece but then his small book GRIEF was tremendous. If you haven’t read it you should if you’ve lost many due to AIDs or if you lost a parent
