She did not test positive and was just being a douch. Crazy woman works for the Headstart program in Americus, or at least she did before. No doubt they'll cut her loose when this gets to them if it hasn't already. She is getting charged for something in relationship to "harassing communication" through news sources. There's some dudes in Americus breathing a sigh of relief today.

[QUOTE=PeterJohnson;4406236][URL]https://reason.com/2019/08/13/fbi-rebrands-national-sex-sting-as-operation-independence-day/[/URL][/QUOTE]Is it really for the headlines? Or are they trying to control competition? Does anyone even care about this shit at the federal level?

[QUOTE=BobSugarSmith;4407212]Is it really for the headlines? Or are they trying to control competition? Does anyone even care about this shit at the federal level?[/QUOTE]Yes, those who get arrested and imprisoned do care about it. Quite a lot. And some of us care about those who are arrested and imprisoned for having consensual sex with another adult.

[QUOTE=PeterJohnson;4407389]Yes, those who get arrested and imprisoned do care about it. Quite a lot.

I can't understand why they do it in the first place.

He cares and he knows that we do too. It's the a-wipes at the top in law enforcement and governments on a state, local, and national level who could care less about who gets ruined. I support cops. I don't support ruining lives and relationships on a political whim.

[QUOTE=BobSugarSmith;4407530]I know the people they fuck over care. I can't understand why they do it in the first place.[/QUOTE]Politics, antiquated and mindless religious thrashings, fear.

If the law says black man must sit in the back of the bus, they enforce that and throw him in prison if he sits in the front. If the law says that having consensual sex with another adult is illegal, then they arrest you and you are thrown in prison for consensual sex.

They arrest rapists and murderers. They also arrest people for having sex and for smoking a plant. They are evil and they do a sometimes do a lot of of good. That is law enforcement for you, and society / humanity is ultimately to blame for the laws that they enforce.

But just like Nazi stormtoopers said "We were just following orders" as they march children into ovens, one still has to take some personal responsibility, even if part of your job is ruining lives and fucking people over.

(And I didn't mean to come down on Bob, and I should have assumed he felt the same as we do).

However, if you get wind of any lessening pressure on the hobbyists and their prey, let me know.

I will never understand why men in these positions scrape the bottom of the barrel. Shit is getting trickier with each passing day. At this point I'm just sticking with what I know.

Those that save your life and do their duty are good cops. Those that don't follow the law and abuse the people are bad cops. Those that put their lives in danger to save you are heros. Unless they are proven as bad cops, we should respect and assist them to perform their duties. There are always bad apples in any large group. Having a shield and gun sometimes give them a power trip that cloud their judgement.

I was told back at the first of this year by a very long time established Atlanta provider (10 ten back a few years ago) that I should be careful about EROS and that the FBI was working with them. I have kept an eye on anything I can find to give substance and have seen alerts here and there.

I wanted to pass along this September 15th Wall Street Journal article.

Be Careful out there.
