Default So, Rather Than Bust Pedophiles, They Bust Potheads?

Child porn crackdown shows crime's scope - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

U.S. ‘asleep at the wheel’ on child porn
Officials say images of younger children becoming more pervasive


BARTOW, Fla. - When a single Florida county arrested 45 men and boys from all walks of life last June on charges of downloading child pornography, some people worried the place had become a haven for deviants.

But top law enforcement officials and child welfare experts say the only thing unusual about Polk County is that its sheriff, Grady Judd, happens to pursue child-porn enthusiasts with more fervor and resources than most.

Child porn has grown so pervasive on the Internet, they say, that police agencies all over the country, using the latest file-tracking technology, could easily spend every day finding and arresting offenders...

Isn't it great that all this money and time and energy is spent going after us, instead of these FREAKS!!!

That's just downright wrong.

Cannabis is a serious threat to their "Total Control" agenda. There is an A&E special that never got aired called "Conspiracy of Silence" about Child porn, child slavery, etc. in relation to Washington Politicians. Yup, our Congressfolk like em' young! The show never made it to prime time (wonder why?) and "they" did their best to try and bury it but to no avail, the Internet cannot be defeated!

Do a search on Google Video if you're interested in watching it. Be warned, it will make you sick and very angry. A lot of the programs that are supposed to be helping children are just a cover and are used to supply deviant sickos with fresh meat. Boys Town was used for this purpose as are a lot of other popular organizations. This shouldn't surprise anyone considering most children that wind up in the custody of Child Protective Services wind up being molested and abused by the government.

Children belong with their parents. There should be some seriously redundant oversight when it comes to children being passed on to the state. They state is using some ridiculous methods to separate children from their parents. The money that is being made in this industry (and it is a multi-million dollar industry; Child Theft) is sick and it's very lucrative to steal children from their parents. There are justifiable reasons to take a child away from a parent but it should only be done when the circumstances are extreme.

My main point is they freely admit they could spend all day, every day, busting these freekazoids. But, they're too busy locking up drug-users for the public good... just slightly galling, eh?

Major point taken.

The same thing goes on all across America everyday. I've got drug dealers moving in on my once safe neighborhood and the cops don't do **** about it. They'd rather harass innocent, non-violent pot heads, less of a personal risk of them getting hurt. It's easy to rough up and abuse a mellow dude growing some weed and we usually don't shoot back.

So true.I lived in polk county for 15 years,and after I left there in 90 it has changed from bad to real bad.Child porn is a nation wide problem not only florida.I do say it's bad here.My local police last year hired 50 new cops so they would have one cop to a pedophilia.That's just the ones that are register.It sick and the state child welfair is just as bad if not worst.Dateline did a show on internet child porn and internet dating under age girls in flager beach.Man there's so many of them it's not funny.They still go after people smoking pot and wast that money and time they could use to stop child porn and hard drugs.Peace

The whole "V" for Vendetta thing was a slick mind job on the public. After that movie people were posting YouTube videos wearing those masks and they didn't even know anything about Guy Fawkes, the "inspiration" behind the movie's protagonist. Guy Fawkes worked for the Vatican and was under Jesuit control. Since England was a Protestant Nation the Vatican wanted to destroy England. Faulks wasn't a hero he was a lackey for the the Black Pope.

This is very common manipulation found in most Hollywood movies. Mind control is all around us and is only effective if you don't know what happened in the past.

Hey Sprocket,

What's your definition of a patriot?

there is not truly a simple explanation of what a patriot is. sure, you could look the word up in the dictionary, or by way of google, and you will end up with this or something like this:

One who loves, supports, and defends one's country

you can visit the link for a more detailed yet still somewhat broad definition of the word patriot.

however, in my opinion, as you have asked, my friend, is that one must have a true humanitarian spirit to be considered a patriot. someone who is willing to set aside their own needs when faced with a choice that impacts a group larger than themselves. A patriot is someone willing to sacrifice time, money or happiness in the pursuit of the preservation of the very freedoms that make those dreams and ideals a possibility for others, especially their loved ones. A patriot is someone who will go that extra mile to defend the freedoms of others while adhering to the principals and practice of good morals. A patriot is so much more than standing up and waving a flag for a country. it is waving that flag for your countrymen, and fighting when and how it is necessary.

i apologize if my words collide and thus ramble. i am stoned out of my ever lovin mind right now. and being so, i get a bit fiery when discussing things close to my heart that i am also passionate about.

Hey man,

Nah, that's a good personal definition. No blind patriotism, but patriotism for the people and the country we were born in. I agree brother.

P.S.,

I wish I was stoned out of my mind!

Default Unfortunately, our image

is a major part of the problem. When William was able to convince our feeble congress to pass laws against a benevelont plant that has never harmed anyone as far as I can tell, the cannabis industry was taken over by thugs and criminals

When states began legalizing medicinal marijuana, the criminals and thugs were in prime position to exploit the opportunity

Most folks that grow and use and medicate and provide weed are good folks that have strong values and care about others. But, unfortunately, that doesn't make the news so mainstream society doesn't see that the majority of our community are decent deserving folks. They see our community as a bunch of dangerous criminals.

On Marijuana Inc. on Fox, they show the gangs and guns and crime assiciated with growing and selling pot and I can clearly see why so much of mainstream society is scared to death of us. Unfairly, of course. But, how do we change our image so that we can move freely in our communities holding our heads HIGH and feel more accepted and less intimidated?

I don't have all the answers, but I do feel that when dispensaries and criminals engage in illegal activities, they make it that much harder on the rest of us and we should not make excuses for such behavior. Just because it's weed, doesn't make criminal behavior more acceptable or cute...

They are why, in my opinion, we continue to be "outcasts" and be "hunted" by local law authorties...

They are certainly the justification for demonizing us and persecuting us.

But, do you think they show that stuff on accident? They could just as easily show people like you and me. But, instead, the make people afraid. It's not an accident.

And I completely agree with you. It is most definitely an unfair and unjust image. And, in this day and age, it is not as "politically correct" to portray us as decent folks than it is to show us as criminals. Most unfair, indeed! I do feel that popular opinion is beginning to shift in our favor and will continue to do so.

In my community, two growers, myself included were "we tipped" and searched, only to have local law inforcement leave saying, "Have a nice day and be sure to call us if you should need anything".

So, I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and that we are moving in the right direction...
