Wouldn't killing them be giving them the easy way out? I say we chemically castrate them - thus removing their weapons - and then leave them to rot for a good decade or so, before releasing them back in to the public, where everyone knows exactly who they are and what they did. Let them suffer.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/m...tution-help-victims-of-child-pornography.html

Given that Amy's pictures have spread so far and wide, it's entirely possible she will have to go through yet another visit from officers, detailing how Jared Fogle had copies of her photos on his drive. I particularly want the folks who think consumption of child pornography is somehow more acceptable than production to read this article. Both the law and psychology assure us that victims of child pornography are continually re-victimized by having their photos out there. If you're looking at them, you're as much of a shitbag as the guy that took them.

What's really shocking is that it took until the 1970's for the U.S government to ban child pornography. Like, really, what possible reasoning could they have for thinking it was OK to view it before then? I mean, it would literally be sold alongside your usual smutty magazine as if it were normal. It's fucking ridiculous. Not that banning it has done much good. As that article states, it's so easy to find child porn and, as is the case with Amy and Nicole, their trauma will never be over. It truly is a sick, depraved world we live in.

Yeah, that shit blew my mind. Congress only made it illegal in 1978. That is crazy.

I feel like he should be forced to pay a significant sum of his considerable assets to prevent his kind of shit from happening - for example, funding organisations like B4U-ACT that try to assist pedophiles that voluntarily seek help before they do something they would regret.

Maybe even make an industry out of pedophile hunting on the net. Just grab a million or two off his assets and pay 10k of it to anyone turning in information that leads to the arrest of pedophiles, and 75k for producers of such vile content.

Basically, fleece the fucker for all he's worth. Those paltry 1.4 million plus a divorce and stuff means he will still return home to a really cushy life after the short jail sentence.

(Plus all the Amy-and-others stuff, obviously. The victims should always get first pickings, so to speak. Hope that new bill gets through as soon as possible.)

The joke is that he won't be able to order a foot long Subway sandwich in jail because they probably only have prison food.

Or is it about a penis?

Reminds me of that joke someone made when this story first broke.

After over a decade Jared was still getting into smaller and smaller pants


or something like that. I'm going to hell for laughing. I'm so sorry

What made segregation OK before that? The world used to be pretty shitty just 40 years ago.

That was really hard to read, I'll never understand people who defend pedophiles that only use child porn.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I always wonder when I read all the stories about famous, rich people doing horrible stuff, how much of it was caused by the fame and fortune going to their head and switching off the rational part of the brain. Is there any evidence he was doing this shit before he became the Subway guy? I mean, I don't think this obsession with children sprung up out of nowhere or anything, but I wonder if he always kept it under control till he had enough fame and fortune to think he could get away with it and then just went crazy.

This stuff happens so much I wonder if just like everyone's negative qualities are just let loose when they come into a ton of fame and fortune. Thankfully, most people don't get this bad or anything, but it's harder and harder for me to look at rich people now and not start thinking they've got some horrible secret they're hiding.

It's funny because rape and other forms of brutality don't happen in prisons in America. I mean, if that did happen, a lot, and we weren't doing even fucking close to enough to prevent it, and innocent kids were being brutalized and committing suicide over a prison rape and brutality culture that Americans don't seem to care about and don't vote to stop, then it wouldn't be funny to joke about.

Joking about rape can be funny. It also be in terrible taste to joke about rape. It depends on the context and as well as how good the joke is.

In this case...I laughed. Anything can be funny.

Sure, but that's not the point. You can find it funny that a rapist gets to relive his past crimes by raping again in prison. No problem.

The problem is trivializing prison rape and brutality in America. It's an issue we are already terrible on; people by and large don't care. So trivializing it with a joke like this, on the front page even, is awful.

They waited 4 years to come down on him? Goddamn they must have figured out keeping him free for a while would lead them to a bunch of other people

I'm really, really surprised that there hasn't been word of a suicide attempt. I can't think of any other way out for Jared at this point.
