http://news.yahoo.com/police-man-viewed-child-porn-us-flight-035844298.html this story will either make you laugh or make you scream for his head (which one, right?) Having the balls (lol) to watch porn, in a public environment such as an airplane is questionable enough, but watching kiddie porn on a plane takes his ass clear off the idiot scale.
dunno..im pretty sure he's looking forward to prison sex if you're asking yourself why he's being punished, it's because even tho he may not have been directly responsible for the creation of such porn, viewing it allows for the proliferation of it and further attempts at exploiting children. With that said, I think they would cut him slack if he gave up the actual source of the pornography. He would definitely be branded for life either way, but to solve this kind of problem, you need to attack the source. Nickel and diming the viewers wouldn't be efficient.
why exactly? he was only viewing (yes im playing devil's advocate) and not actually holding the camera..although some more may come out of this case as time goes im just curious as to how viewing child porn grants harsher treatment than say, someone selling drugs and slowly ruining the lives of dozens if not hundreds of people.
The dude's in the first class section of an airplane watching kiddie porn like it's no big deal? Money and status at it's finest right there......
Yeah, & if the general inmate population finds out what he's in for, he'll probably get more than that.
many people actually think his $15,000 bail was too small, given the fact that he's a first-class mfer
And if he was a broke ass mofo and did the same thing, how much you want to bet he would have gotten an outrageous bail amount because he wasn't "a citizen of status"?
hey when you begin to make the rules, come holla back at me thats how this world works tho...people with money and/or power, get to do whatever because they help establish our systems its not fair but it is what it is
And things sooner or later have a way of turning back on those who game the system for their own advantage & gain. All good things come to an end...nothing last forever....etc..
IMO both warrant harsh punishment, because they're both ruining lives (whether it's directly or indirectly doesn't matter). The better question is why would anyone other than a pedophile watch child porn? IMHO no one else would. Authorities may not know if the person has actually committed sexual abuse against children, but they do know that the person gets off on watching them be sexually abused. IMHO that makes him (or her) just as guilty as the low-lives he's watching using babies as sex toys.
I cant help being a little fascinated over this dudes thought-process when he decided it was a good idea to view it publicly.
