Well Subway is gross but you can hardly blame this on them.

Why? You didn't know him from Adam.
On topic - Genuinely surprised he turned out to be like this.

No other title I could've come up with would have been as clear as the one the original article used and I didn't think this would be an appropriate thread to include some sort of joke in the title.

Great, the defense force is here. I'll grab my popcorn.
I know you must want attention.
You would have to know this is right up there with that.
wtf? When the "porn" is exploiting, abusing, and ruining children's lives, fuck yes they should destroy their lives.
child porn is worse than murder.
and a completely different league from drugs.
child porn destroys the children's lives. of course the FBI should go after them. and destroy them.

Setting aside the hilarious idea that the bread was made with yoga mats, are you suggesting Subway was somehow complicit in this and thus deserves your unending ire?

Yeah, what's up with the FBI getting in the face of honest child porn owners when they could be busting a guy selling weed?

How do you think this porn is getting produced? Once you figure that out, maybe you'll understand why this is a big deal.
Getting the footage to a DVD requires children to be abused. Which is illegal, you're missing that. They are usually from sex rings, where they are sold/traded. These are gigantic networks that sprawl across the globe. If you really wanted to make the argument, I'd say that global Child Abuse/Sex Trade has more victims than the murderers and drug dealers activities.
But that just depends on where you place on importance, child rape, forced prostitution, and deaths of said children.
edit;
While im realising this might be a troll -- The sentiment here is bound to resonate with some that aren't familiar with how deeply fucked up the child sex trade is.
edit:
It wasn't a troll... :-|
Perhaps, but regardless it isn't something you throw away your livelihood--and your freedom--away for.
It was estimated the guy was worth 15 million. Living in Indiana, he could of settled for a nice life if his Subway endorsement deal dried up. Hell, he could of been convicted of buying sex from a non-minor prostitute and I believe the stigma wouldn't last forever, if even a couple of years. But he had to go after the kids....

According to the previous story, the women he was trying to convince into a cousin-involved threesome went to Subway and they ignored her.
This is about child porn and pedophilia. The kids being pushed around for porn and sex acts could be sex slaves because for some reason sex trafficking is a thing in our first world country. People who take advantage of children are just as bad as murderers and drug dealers.

Uhhhhh
It's hard for me to imagine how much worse things actually could be.
But should they be?

Your comment + baby calf avatar combination is making me raise an eyebrow.
I don't think anyone was defending pedophiles, or making excuses for them, more like just trying not to throw labels around until evidence came to light. Now that evidence has come to light, and Jared has all but confirmed himself he is guilty, I'm pretty sure that those people will be happy to climb on the GAF side of the fence.
I... I'm not sure if we're being Poe'd or not.

There is no sentencing guidelines for 'looking'. It's all possession and distribution if they find proof of that on his computer.

First of all, it's mainly the media that ends up destroying people's lives over these things, not the FBI (and is a whole separate issue). I mean the guy's pleading guilty so he's not some innocent person who is getting wrongfully investigated here. Second, the FBI has to start somewhere in order to get these children out of horrible situations. It's not like they can just tell who is abusing children and who is "only" watching them get abused. And besides, anyone who watches this kind of stuff is directly responsible for these children getting abused because they support the industry surrounding child porn.
