Defiant Judge Takes On Child Pornography Law

Judge Weinstein, who sits in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, has twice thrown out convictions that would have ensured that the man spend at least five years behind bars. He has pledged to break protocol and inform the next jury about the mandatory prison sentence that the charges carry. And he recently declared that the man, who is awaiting a new trial, did not need an electronic ankle bracelet because he posed “no risk to society.”

The man he has spent three years trying to save from a long incarceration is Pietro Polizzi, a married father of five who collected more than 5,000 graphic pictures of children.

Some men are born to prefer women. Some are born to prefer other men. Then some are born with a preference for children. It's just nature, right. When did you choose your sexual preference? Isn't that the big defense question?

Liberals do not believe sexual behavior requires decisions beyond immediate gratification.

You gotta just love what they are doing to the American way of life.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Liberals do not believe

Since I am adept at reading your mind, I know that you approve of eating live kittens in front of horrified children. Or maybe I don't have the first fucking idea what it is you think, but just want to demonize with a broad brush because, like wanking, it feels good, and involves a bit of imagination, but very little serious thinking.

Seems to me that collecting 5,000 of anything requires some effort.

It wouldn't matter if he did..he could discard it out of hand for the conflict with his own view.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I think most of us would agree that sexual _behavior_ requires decisions. But there is a difference between behavior and orientation.

There is also a difference between children and consenting adults.

You know Ron, reading your post, for a second there I thought you had learned something.

Can you quote something from Leviticus for us, about how this guy should be put to death? Probably not. In the time of the bible, they were marrying girls as young as those this man was looking at. The youngest legal age of marriage I could find with a quick search was 13....in the US (special circumstances required=pregnancy). Or Iran, where 9 is ok. I believe the prophet Muhammad married a 6 year old girl, and consummated the marriage at 9. Lest you start throwing stones, we can always talk about Lot and his daughters if you'd prefer christianity.

Some is ancient history. Some, current events. Did you read the article Ron? This judge is not arguing that what the man did was acceptable, or legal. He's arguing that he doesn't agree with the mandatory sentence length. Prison terms for looking at pictures that sometimes run longer than those for actually abusing a child.

You don't get tired of this one. As I recall, some of the previous arguments have talked about relationships between adults, not children. I guess you don't mind twisting that when it suits your purpose. If the man broke the law, he needs to be punished. This law I'm in full support of. Sounds like this judge deals with this kind of case, and has some experience. You obviously don't mind armchair quarterbacking his decisions. Maybe you missed your calling as a judge, so you could be on the other extreme, and lock them up for life. I might agree with you. They are born this way, and I don't think any amount of therapy is going to fix it. Eventually, I don't think pictures will be enough, and they will harm a child.

If you read the article, you're being intentionally deceptive. If you didn't, tragically lazy. Or perhaps you agree that the judge should be forced to sentence the man to more time in prison for looking at pictures than if he had actually abused a living child?

I would argue for the same term. A child was harmed, either way.

Say what you mean. Do what you say.

No, that's pretty easy; you just bite their widdle heads off in front of small children.
Now, herding them: that's a bitch.

We're talking about child porn here. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.

An 88 year-old liberal judge thinks a 5 year minimum sentence is too harsh for a man who managed to collect 5,000 kiddie porn pics on his computer? I think he might be getting senile.

serious thinking.

Since thinking is accomplished in the mind which is one-third of the soul, emotions and will being the other two-thirds, I can assume that the condition of one's soul accurately determines the seriousness of one's thinking.

Obviously... the good judge does not seem to understand that a child sexual predator cannot be helped, fixed or cured. If anything, the judge should've extended the guy's sentence.

Dumbest statement in this article:

"And he recently declared that the man, who is awaiting a new trial, did not need an electronic ankle bracelet because he posed “no risk to society."

And conservatives want him to wear an electronic ankle bracelet because it would keep him from . . . surfing the net?

Ummm NO, two wrongs make a wrong. However, many GOP supporters who post here seem to think that what their heroes say cancels out what they do.
