How can anyone defend that possession of two pictures (two counts) can have a comparable sentence to someone who commits vehicular manslaughter while drunk driving? | ||

Why should this guy be in jail for life for POSSESSION. in the world we live apparently owning pictures if kids is worse than actually molesting them. | ||

Because possession of child porn is as guilty as murder people in computer games, possession of blood diamond, paying tax to invade other country.. oh wait.... | ||

This is ludicrous, so absurdly disproportionate. | ||

For one, people don't even get that for DOING THE ACT. For two, that means people who watch gore should be life imprisonment because of their viewing of dead/mutilated people? This is like sending a message saying it's okay to hurt kids because if you get caught you won't get life. | ||

This is the only time I will ever even somewhat defend a person who possesses child porn, this is just wrong. If OJ Simpson gets away scot-free for killing somebody... >.> | ||

You are re-entered into the world with a lot of resentment and hate and continue to practice these disliked behaviors what I'd also like to point out is that the programs in place for these things to "help" people sometimes do their job but not always. In a situation like this we are failing as a society to correct or help individuals and instead showing them that we are more focused on discarding the unwanted like a piece of trash than take the time necessary to reform the person like recycling trash and integrating them back into society to be useful. Then the question comes to who is willing to take up their own time to help these individuals? Who as in who are the proper people who's going to get the job done and have a say 70% success rate. As we look at it now the legal system doesn't help always because if it did we'd have less problems as we do now and neither does society. Society cares as much like a kid passing another person being bullied we just ignore problems in our face and move on instead of dealing with them right here and right now. Ps. I believe that all people can be useful regardless of their talents. Real men don't make excuses! | ||

One of them was really nice to me so i used to speak with him a lot about my life and the little problems i had with my parents at this time. One day he asked me to come to his house for a week end so we could speak and see eachother in real life. I remember him saying that my sex and age wasn't a matter to him. I answered him that i did not have enough money for that. To which he responded that he would pay me the ticket and my parents would never know about this. I really wanted to see him, he was the only person i though that could really understand me. He always gave me good advices and was always here to hear me. I didn't come to his house, not because of him, but because my parents would have known and i thought they would have been mad at me because i though they didn't like me. Few years later, this same man showed me pictures of a man with two little girl (approx 3) completely naked. He was holding the first girl by her feet so that the little girl could suck his dick. The other girl was only watching the camera on the bed. This picture shocked me. Since then, nothing really shocked me. I've seen many horrible things including picture of dead bodies, video of assassinations, extreme body modifications, torture, .. Nothing seems to affect me anymore. A year after that, i heard that this guy got caught for possession of child porn on his hard drive. He was sentenced to jail and psycatric sessions. He flew to Guinea for some times and went back again. He never actually went to jail nor did he recieved any psycatric help. I'm still speaking to him. Two years ago he went to my house where i saw him in real life for the first time while he was still being purchased by the police. We never spoke about the day he asked me to come to his house, we just watched movies drink beers and talked. Soon after that, i started to search for child pornography pictures on the internet and found some. I never intended to like that. I wanted to see the picture he showed me to see if i was able to feel something again. I wanted to be shocked, i wanted to feel bad watching this. I didn't feel anything. So i searched again and again, i thought it was the only last thing that could makes me feel bad but actually, i started to enjoy it. When i realised i was looking up for cp for excitment rather than remorse, that's when i started to feel guilt. I realised i was becoming like him and that scared the shit out of me. I felt horrible thinking i was hurting someone by looking at these picture. At that time i had two options : see a shrink or kill myself. I decided to see a shrink first and if it failed then suicide. I was able to see someone specialized in deviant sexual behaviour and she first put me on antidepressant. It didn't really help (talking to her did afterwards) so she asked me to be followed by an hospital on regular basis for a month or two. I panicked, i didn't know what to do. It was the first time i talked to my parents about all this. They felt bad for not knowning this all this time but said that i didn't need hospitalization. That it was too hard for a treatment and that i could overcome my urges without it. I did, and i'm so happy about that. I never thought i would. What i want to say is all the pedophiles aren't the same. The guy i met is a good person. He's smart, educated and really nice to everybody. He doesn't deserve to be locked in jail for life and he doesn't deserve death penalty. He is just sick. He needs help, not punishment. And i'm the one he nearly abused when i was a child who says that. I saw his side and i don't think jail would have helped me like my shrink did. Of course there are pedophiles who won't ever change but they're only a little part of them. For the others, help can't hurt, punishment do. I saw a videos of a pedophile being hit to death by dozens of angry men. All i thought was "If it was me ? Did i deserve that ?". My answer is no and whatever this guy did, i think those men who killed him because of his sickness are the one who should be punished. English isn't my native language, i'm sorry for my mistakes. I hope i was clear, i'm getting a bit emotional when it comes to this subject. | ||

You shouldn't, but since each image can be convicted as a seperate charge, 100 images at 1 year per image, it technically could happen. It wouldn't, but it could. Edit: Though I'm unsure if cartoons are illegal in the US if we were referring specifically to the US. | ||
