Wow! That's crazy!

The Ramada on Baymeadows will be next. I was told there was a room broken into and a girl pistol whipped and sent to the ICU. Could be bullshit but it sounds legit. That place is a hole.

Rich.

I stayed there as recently as a week ago! After 20 years with Christmas list, now this. Any names?

Some serious stuff going on at the jax on lane. Damn news crew, dudes in masks, they're busting them in the woods. Probably a few we won't see posting on stg for a while.

I just heard a news story on News4 Jax titled " JSO: MAN SHOT BY UNKNOWN SUSPECT WHILE VISITING WOMAN NEAR SOUTHPOINT AREA" and wondered if that was a monger that was involved. Wonder if a provider set him up.

I'm all for legalization, but you might want to take a look at the actual terrible state of the scene in Holland. Been there recently?

Tell us about what you saw on your visit.

Seems you're little hometown had modeled itself after Europe's Red Light Districts. Just too bad that the US all together can't do the same. It's a win-win all around: Girls get paid, Guys get laid gets their nut, Govt gets their cut, SA is down, No sketchy clowns hanging around.

My hometown for 75 years (This stopped in 1964) allowed prostitution and had no problems. They would bring in the girls about once a month for a health check and treat the ones that need it. One person ran for mayor stating to get rid of the houses, yes they were in houses not on the street corners. Shortly after he won they closed the houses and they had their first case of rape in 75 years. When asked the guy said the reason he did it was that they closed down the place he had been going to.

I agree with your analysis of SESTA / FOSTA. I am also of the opinion that if we decriminalized prostitution it would allow consenting adults to engage in sex work in a safer business environment and might actually reduce sex trafficking.

Well, I would think anyone in there right mind, and did not have a hidden (not hidden well) would know this is very logical. I mean really, they are not address the places that do promote the activities of the child sexual abuse!

This actually make a lot of sense to me as you outlaw anything, the people will find away to get what they want. I'm NOT saying this would end all rapes, if we open and regulate the service as there is a need.

(IMHO) I do believe it would greatly reduce this crime, just as decriminalizing Pot would eliminate the unnecessary cost of the arrest, housing (jail), court costs and prison cost for these crimes.

Let's start with the obvious- of COURSE we all don't want to tolerate or condone acts of pedophilia. No sane human being wants to live in a world when children are harmed.

The problem is that many law enforcement efforts aimed at "stopping pedophiles" do nothing of the sort, and actually hurt others.

The best example is the SESTA / FOSTA laws of 2017, a set of laws so bad that they were clearly a bipartisan effort. I can't think of another law that you can blame both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on. (I'm not trying to start a Trump or Biden flame war. I'm just pointing out that Harris co-sponsored the bill and Trump signed it.).

This law made it legal for state prosecutors to prosecute online providers who hosted sites that promoted prostitution, under the guise of "helping the children" and supposedly stopping sex trafficking. It did neither.

What SESTA / FOSTA did was make this hobby far more dangerous for sex workers and clients alike. By eliminating most websites where adult sex workers could advertise their consensual services, those providers now are lumped into advertising in the same place as the rip-off scammers and the drug addicts who pretend to want to sell you sex but really want to steal your money. We lost a lot of 1st Amendment protections because of this law.

Did it make it easier to catch pedophiles? Nope. DOJ testified that the law made it harder to stop sex trafficking.

If law enforcement really wants to stop pedophilia, they need to shut down the organization responsible for more heinous crimes towards children than anyone else. But unfortunately, law enforcement turns a blind eye towards Catholic priests.

You and your logic and actual science.

The opioid pushers and Catholic diocese seem to be filing for bankruptcy at breakneck speed. At least SCOTUS kicked back the blanket immunity on the opioid front for the family.

If you can't tell the age, you shouldn't contact. Also, you don't want pedo's off the streets? They are hitting both sides, supply and demand. I personally think they should run these stings more.
