Crime for Dummies

Okay, time out. I perfectly understand that criminals are not the brightest bulbs in the box. If these guys were smart enough to make a regular living or to entertain themselves in a legal manner, we wouldn’t need a police force.

Judging from recent headlines, Internet child predators are the standout dummies of the entire class. As Wizbang puts it in their Public Service Announcement for Perverts, chances are extremely high that the under-17 kid on the other end of that chat line is a police investigator.

I don’t have any sympathy for these scumbags, but you simply have to pity anyone suffering from that much sheer gullibility. These sick weasels have the common sense of Homer Simpson, but I suppose I should be grateful that these people are so easy to catch.

This is not a real internet chat transcript of a sting in progress, but it easily could be:

G-MAN B: So, do you have any hobbies?

TRIXIE87: I like to play with my Barbies. My Mom won’t let me have a Ken doll. She says I’m not old enough yet — he’s too sophisticated for me.

GMAN B: I don’t think that’s true at all. I think your a very sophisticated young lady. I’ll buy you a Ken doll, okay?

TRIXIE87: That would be great! You’re really sweet. And even though my mom told me hundreds of times not to accept gifts from strangers, I won’t tell her about this one.

GMAN B: Trixie, this may sound a little forward, but I feel oddly attracted to you in a sexual way. Does that bother you?

TRIXIE87: Not at all. Despite the fact that I am only a 12-year old girl in Hoboken, I’m not offended or shocked at all. In fact, I feel oddly attracted to you, too. You must drive here across state lines and meet me in person.

GMAN B: That sounds like a perfectly good idea to me. You seem very mature for your age, but I guess I’m just lucky to find such a grown-up young lady!

TRIXIE87: Yes, very lucky. Be sure to bring full identification, okay?

GMAN B: Okay. Why?

TRIXIE87: No reason. So, what were we talking about? It was about your favorite things to do with mashed potatoes, right?

GMAN B: Oh, that’s right. Anyway, my favorite thing to do with mashed potatoes is to….

    They say every story has a bit of truth in it - so what do you “like to do” with mashed potatoes, Joe????

    No kidding though on how stupid these sicko’s are. How about the NBC sting where they had the guy get naked in the garage then come into the house. And they all said, this is my first time, I was just coming to tell the child how dangerous this could be, I was just walking along and decided to come into this house because I thought my friend lived here.

    Make you long for the days of instant punishment; the least of which should be a chopping block about crotch high and a nice sharp axe.

    Joe and Big Unit,
    I agree totally. The thing with these stupid sickos is, though, that castration or making eunuchs of them doesn’t work. Their head is what needs to be removed. The ones who have been castrated or eunuch-ized (I know that’s not a real word, but don’t know the correct word here) just move on to using objects on their victims, or get a partner to do the actual sexual stuff so they can watch. Their mind is where the sickness is, and their genitals are just the means to an end.
    And women are becoming more and more perverted toward children, too. Used to be men were the majority of offenders. Not so anymore.
    The times, they are a-changin’, and not for the better, my friends.

    I have always believed that the government has no business interfering with an adult and his plate of consenting mashed potatoes.

    Now, pomengranates are another story.

    But it WAS the government (Homeland Security) that was trying to do perverse things with 14 year old mashed potatoes.

    ANYTHING to do with 14 year-old mashed potatoes would HAVE to be perverse! :)
