A few random quotes from the web on Trey Starrs and ThePotShot.com:
2010- "This Trey Starrs is clearly an asshole at best, and likely a homophobic, misogynistic, racists, white asshole. But holding criminals up to ridicule is a good thing. A good portion of our media extols or trivializes criminal behavior, especially for monetary gain. The police aren’t respected (nor should be) and jail/prison is the “go to your room” for not being fast or cleaver enough. If the people begin to feel a real shame in stealing, drunk driving, or whatever that’s a good thing."
2010- "Ugh, that site is awful. You're really going to make fun of Down Syndrome? Really?"
2010- "www.thepotshot.com kicks ass!!! I love what Trey Starrs writes about these wonderful citizens of Portland, Oregon! You can really see what a little make-up and some mood lighting do for an ugly girl. The mug shots aren't as complimentary as their facebook pics."
2010- "A great way to get your ass kicked. The guy is dilutional."
2011- "i am just a typical citizen of the united states. however, because of the idiocy of the internet and the police state in which we seem to be living, i have become an innocent victim of some fat ignorant individual named Trey Starrs. This jerk seems to take great sadistic pleasure in browsing the public domain for people who are arrested around the country. He never stops to see if people are innocent, wrongly accused or victims of unfortunate circumstances. Instead, he pathetically hides behind the secrecy of the web to pass judgment on people that he doesn't know, doesn't meet, doesn't encounter to poke fun at them. Just wait world, Trey Starrs will be exposed for the shallow, pathetic excuse for humanity that he is."
2011- "FWIW, in terms of daily page views and ad revenue, thepotshot.com is now equal to blueoregon.com. I ain't happy."
2010- "I give it less than a week before this person's real identity is revealed."
2010- "www.thepotshot.com is a great site, they need one for every city!"
2011- "Does anybody know anything about this website? It's called ThePotShot.com and this Trey Starrs person puts the most horrible comments about people and their mug shots. My daughter is featured. It seems that someone has to send the mug shot into these people. It seems they either like to "show case" pretty girls, really dorky guys, or people that just look completely tore back. Any comments, suggestions. Anyone know about this disgusting website?? I did e-mail this Trey Starrs person and very politely requested that the post be taken down. How can this be legal for people to do this? And how can these people publish magazines with mug shots in them."
2010- "I'm gonna guess that Trey is: -White -Idealistic -Republican -Possibly racist -Plagued by low self-esteem"
2010- "We all wanna now who this guy is. I mean seriously who is this lowlife that has nothing better to do than make fun of people on a website for things that sometimes are not even wrong. like having a disease or something. {example Alopecia- click link for post}I give him credit though . Most of the time your posts are funny, but theres eventually one that is just downright wrong. SO TREY STARRS WHO ARE YOU REALLY?"
