Here's hoping Claiborne Richardson's name becomes as synonymous with A Kid's Cock as Rick Santorum's name has become synonymous with frothy buttsex fecal matter. Their political ambitions are toast.

Hopefully they'll drop the insane charges soon.

I'd like to think it was the "shame on you" line I used towards the end of my letter to Richardson & his boss yesterday. Maybe?

Thank GOD cell phones didn't exist when I was a teenager (late 70's/early 80's). I'd still be in jail.

@3,
Who's obsessed?

Are you the pot or the kettle?

@1
Yep. I was just thinking that this guy got santorumed.

Oh look everybody! One of the AnonyTrolls has ventured forth and registered! Let's see how long @3 can manage to hang on before he's back where he belongs.

GOOD.

@8: Gone as of now.

Assuming the girl's parents are telling the absolute truth and he was harassing her with nude photos of himself, why didn't her parents just block his number and call his aunt? And if they felt compelled to contact the police because she was scared of him or the behavior had escalated or something like that, why isn't he being charged for the harassment? Why the child porn charges and only the child porn charges?

This whole situation is just sick and bizarre.

Suddenly they see the light, when enough people yell at them.

How stupid is it that it is a felony to photograph your own body?

What we need is a surge of civil disobedience where every kid with a cellphone takes a nude photo of their body.

Yah Dan and mob; well done. Let's hope it shames these Sleazy men out into the light/ like vampires, they only flourish in dark corners..

Why does Israel keep overdoing the retaliation?
It is so hard to believe , this sad story continues- these not civilised men and women? Both sides-

@15 Because Israeli extremists need a state of war with Palestine to stay in power. They retaliate much too harshly, so that down the road more Palestinians will join the Hamas and attack Israeli civilians. Then Israelis civilians will vote again en masse for Israeli extremists.

The killing of one's own civilians by the other side is the extremists's best friend.

@16 sissoucat very astute analysis. Most Israelis and Palestinians are reasonable people, yet support extreme retaliation due to the past horrors visited upon their friends and family by the extremists on the other side, so it perpetuates.

Only a few of the extremists consciously plan this, most simply perpetuate it. As the USA fights terrorism with drone attacks, and as those who died in drone attacks fight back with more terrorism in the USA, we will see the same thing here (and in a sense have with 9/11). Same in Europe.

How did a discussion on Claiborne Richardson's lust for teen cock pics segue into the forever war in the middle east?

@delta35

This analysis is not my own work, it's very widespread among Europeans. What's new, apparently, is the amount of interest US citizens give to the current war in Palestine, and for once they seem not to unanimously support the Israeli government's side.
