Ohio School Computer Technician accused of buying kids for sexual torture

Don't send murderers and rapists to my city. LA and NY have some of the lowest crime rates in the nation for big cities.

I've heard that life in prison is cheaper than the death penalty because it requires less court cases.

Also, if you mistakenly convict someone, you can let them out of jail when new evidence surfaces. If you kill them, well, then damage done.

That's why Illinois put a moratorium on the death penalty. They found that a good percentage of people had been put to death who were innocent.

I was making a really bad Snake Plisskin joke.

hehe those movies were crazy.

I noticed that no one has addressed the fact that this person wasn't actually going to dunk any kids. The kids didn't exist. The man was TRICKED by the same people who are now going to sentence him.

It's unlikely this crime would have ever occurred, as I find it highly unlikely that one would happen across a mother who would willingly sell her children to be drowned. Only an undercover agent dealing with imaginary children would do such a thing.

Nowadays, it's like INTENT is just as bad as the actual ACTION. It reminds me of Minority Report, where you don't have to do anything to be prosecuted, you just have to be "going to do something".

This man wasn't going to drown any kids. Don't any of you dare tell me that he was. There were no kids to drown, so he wasn't going to. This was a fantasy situation, and shouldn't be carried over to real life.

Undercover agents should be ashamed. They just troll chatrooms trying to trick people so they can jail them. It's so malicious.

[Beldaran]

let's be honest, who hasn't wanted to drown some kids?

[erm2003]

We could always section off a city with a bad crime rate, say New York or L.A. and just send all rapists and murderers there. I don't see anything wrong with that. I mean, the president wouldn't crash land there if he flew over it or anything.

Did anyone else besides me thing of George Carlin's State Prison Camps routine?

Well, gee, Bel, now that you mention it, yeah, I've always wanted to drwait a second! You sneaky undercover bastard.

[moocow]

If someone asked to buy my child so he could drown them and get off on it...

I'd go to jail for murder, because I'd hunt the sick son-of-a-bitch down and shoot him in the face. No questions asked.

Sorry, I loathe those who prey on innocent children.
