News and Media Reports

[QUOTE=Castlerae;2558420]While I think making prostitution legal would make life better for both the providers and us customers, I'm not so sure it would wipe out human trafficking. I think we both are honest enough to admit that some people like women who are 'out of bounds', people who are willing to take the risk and pay the money to get what they want. As long as they exist, there will be those who will satisfy their demands, and children who will suffer as a consequence.[/QUOTE]Agree. Not a perfect solution but neither is the current policy. Every day I watch the news and they report of another shooting where an innocent child or adult is killed by gunfire. Yet this clown is wasting the resources paid by us- instead focusing on this bs. Obviously what they're doing to prevent these shootings isn't working- probably best to put more resources into stopping or reducing it.

Also, there's a freakin' lion on the loose- last seen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'd be more happy if they sent up some guys to hunt and shoot that thing- even if it's in the next state so it doesn't hurt or kill anybody than to hear about another stupid backpage sting. He has his priorities mixed up and it's very frustrating. Every time I see the news I just shake my head. I feel terrible for the families and friends who lost their loved ones because of this violence.

[QUOTE=Mannheim;2558774]I have a feeling that TDart will get busted himself for some sex crime eventually. The guy has a serious hard on for prostitutes. Just like the serious homo phobic politicians who eventually get busted having gay sex. This Dart is operating in his own little world. He's in charge of the most violent county in America and all that falls to the back burner if there's some hoes working in a motel somewhere. He should be ashamed of himself and hes on the wrong side of history on this one.[/QUOTE]He is a REALLY busy guy. Head of the nationwide "National Day of Johns Arrests. ".

Remember though, this is all about control. You know, I know, and they ALL know, that the majority of women on BP and CL are there of their own accord. And NO they.

(the women) for the most part are NOT being taken advantage of. In fact if they are smart, they can earn way more than most men can earn per day. Now of course.

If they have bad habits, just like anyone else, they will blow that money. But the reality is that the gov is cracking down on all small and independent businesses so they.

Can have better accounting controls implemented in order to prevent tax revenue from slipping through their greedy fingers. I mean really, these women are getting paid.

For their services just as any other job. The ones that have greater skills will get a larger following and can demand higher prices. This is capitalism at it's basic.

In the meantime, the violence is being ignored, because it is setting the stage for some future police action. Till then the ever expanding PD's all over the country need.

Funds. So as usual, fines, arrests, and the such from, safe and defenseless citizens are the surest means to generate revenue.

Just my $. 02.

[URL]http://www.demandabolition.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Press-Release_NationalSexTraffickingStingrev_Aug6_2014.pdf[/URL]

Among other "stretching the numbers" data there is the following bullet point:

The Cook County Sheriff's Office arrested a john attempting to solicit sex from a bicycle (damn. He must have been really drunk or it must have been a really sexy looking bike! Wonder how he explained that to his wife. "Honey, I was just sniffing the seat. ".

A lot of us talk about how much better things would be (for us and the women we see) if providing was made legal.

Well, it seems Amnesty International thinks so too. Will this petition cause The Powers That Be to reconsider their current 'crack-down' mentality? If nothing else, it would be a good way for people to express their support for the idea (besides, can you imagine the stroke such a move would give Tom Dart).

ROGERS PARK Ald. Joe Moore (49th) sent an email to residents Thursday afternoon tipping them off to a "bit of good news" a day after a gang-related shooting occurred on highly trafficked Morse Avenue.

Moore said in a "reverse" prostitution sting headed jointly by the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Sheriff's Office in the 7100 block of North Clark Street, 12 "Johns" or men who solicited sex were arrested rather than targeting the women.

"Rather than arrest the women who are themselves victims, the law enforcement agencies are concentrating on arresting the men who sustain the sex trafficking," Moore said.

Moore also said his office had received a number of complaints about the issue on the block, and said the operation would be conducted again in future "if the problem persists. ".

While Cook County has one of the worst gang problems in the country, our beloved sheriff continues to waste our tax dollars and resources on catching Johns:

A federal judge on Friday granted a temporary restraining order against Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, forbidding him from lobbying credit card companies to block their cards from being used to buy ads on [URL]Backpage.com[/URL].

The order from USA District Judge John Tharp Jr. Comes days after the online classified ad site that is similar to Craigslist sued Dart in federal court in Chicago, saying the sheriff's actions violated freedom of speech protections.

Gentlemen, This is a disturbing Fairy Tale, I am about to relay to you. At least for me it was. I have received some very accurate intel on where some of our Uncles are living. The first place is the Notel 6 on the 95th and 294 exit. The second place is at various Notels on Cicero between 87th and 79th streets. I also heard that the Red Roof Inn on Diel rd in Naperville has some living there as well. You may think that Dart has thrown in the towel after the judge gave him a cease and desist order, but NOooo, he has some new tactics up his sleeve. Now if you are confused as to the moral of the Fairy Tale you can message me for further details as I am for one in support of and would never hamper the dutiful activities of my Uncle.

Please gentlemen, be ever vigilant and stay safe out there.

Meeting a guy at a strange place like bar, agreeing to go to his room for sex. So even though this scenario takes place worldwide daily, Dart is only concerned because there is money involved. Got to love the hypocritical fuzz balls. The answer is the same as it has been since the beginning of time. There are no guarentees in life when agreeing to a blind date, paid for or not. Ladies just need to keep the pepper spray or stun gun handy and usually, that will dismantle a lot of the situations.

I thought this was a good read on the impact of technology. I believe it applies well to the dynamics here in Chicago. If you go back five years, we basically had three main Euro agencies. The basic business model was two thirds to the girl and a third to the agency. But somewhere along the way, somebody realized their was a big supply of Euro girls that wanted to work but were just not worth $$$ plus for various reasons. Someone also realized that BP evolved into a core marketing platform for prostitution across US cities. It was only so long before one of the more ambitious prostitutes decided take a clerical role in support of other girls. Without investing in fancy websites and full of shit reports on the other forum. Just posting who is on through BP. A mom could work whenever she was in the mood without any pressure from a handler. Rent a cheap fifty dollar a day room in an ok hotel and you are in business. Hence were born the 262 and 323 agencies.

I know this is the USA Sex Guide, but I saw this news report on how cheap one could dream in Greece these days. Wondering if anyone has ever been?

Well the feds are really on a roll with the "trafficking" epidemic; sadly all they have to do is create paranoia about something to open the floodgates of money. Doesn't matter if there really is a problem or not!

Jan. 17 and Feb. 7.[/QUOTE]Yes, I especially love the word used "rescued" Now in reality, how many of these women we visit actually WANT to be "rescued"? I am thinking that many if not most of them have found this is the best way to make a great per hour rate for minimum work. Stand all day at an assembly line and NOT want to be rescued from that!

I believe the real reason behind the push for all this morality, is the $187000.00 "minimum" amount they collected. Pay with overtime for one nice undercover LEO for a year.

[QUOTE=Fox32]CHICAGO (STMW) - The Cook County sheriff’s office rescued 26 women from prostitution and arrested one male customer while taking part in an annual national law enforcement Super Bowl crackdown on sex trafficking.

In Cook County, 26 women were rescued from the sex trade, and one john was arrested between Jan. 17 and Feb. 7, according to a statement from the Cook County sheriff’s office. The Lake County sheriff’s office also arrested and charged one man with three counts of having sex with minors.

In total, 23 law enforcement agencies across 14 states took part in the initiative, [/QUOTE]Rescued? I'm guessing a handful might have been actually rescued; the rest lost a day's pay. At least for the providers it kinda gives them a free pass from getting arrested, right?

They're sure cashing in on the gravy train of money to fight sex trafficking. Who could possibly be against fighting it, it's soooo evil. Never mind that the actual numbers are quite small.

I usually like this kind of s*it, character portrayal without moralizing, and I will give this a try. The trailer has this little cut 'Because I like it', that says it all about the character and jibes with what is described in the article.

I saw a couple of trailers for this show and it look's interesting. It is suppose to be set in Chicago and tonight they are going to play 2 episodes. I will give it a watch because the girl looks hot. SaintChuck.
