I don't really get this. My initial reaction is that maybe the depth and difficulty they went (to nail what about 12 guys? which they called a huge bust?) for this may be a sign that this crime is not that prevelant? I don't know. Glad they nailed them. If the crime requires this kind of sophisticated encrypting and all that, maybe it's a sign it's getting stamped out?

It's a big bust because the 12 caught are the ring leaders --the mafia bosses if you will-- who pedal this smut. It's like busting a head of a drug cartel and not merely a dealer! You should also pay special attention to the numbers quoted in the article. 400,000 picture and video files were available to the group. Consider the many hundreds or thousands of children being abused in those pictures and videos. |

So the idea that all law enforcement have discretion is pretty laughable if you know anything about history. |

My vote is to chain them to the ceiling by their testicles. The only way down is the dull knife in their non-masturbatory hand.

Here's the article detailing it. How would you like to be minding your business taking artsy photographs and then suddenly be arrested and have your name and mug shot on TV announcing you as a sexual predator. And then a "we're sorry we made a mistake" later. Believing in liberties is old-fashioned and quaint, I know. But every time someone asks me to trust the FBI, the police with vague laws and no oversight, I get a little queasy. The history of the world is oppression and totalitarianism, not freedom. |
