    The producers proceed with impunity, our State and Justice Departments impotent to oppose.

    These sick jerks are a dime a dozen. Arrest the producers, even if they do have powerful political connections.

    There is much about the math in child porn, just simply does not add up.

    Bond, REALLY? Why are these monsters given a bond? The evidence was found on HIS personal stuff. It wasn’t a hack job and put on there without his knowledge. There’s no reason to even give people like this the title of “innocent till proven guilty”. @JTV, we are on the same page with our thoughts…
