Itās those damned New York values again.
I demand that Tennessee pass legislation keeping childrenās ministers out of public bathrooms.
Republican conservatism breeds corruption and immorality.
Iām going to go out on a limb here and assert that the BP ad was for an āescortā not a āhuman sex slaveā. So you have a Minister busted for trying to hire a prostitute. Garden variety hypocrisy but probably not āhuman traffickingā. āProstitution stingā would be a more apt headline (and lose the ārā in string).
CORRECTION: He was responding to an ad for an underage girl?!? (thanks dwolf for the link) Iām trying to comprehend how you can write an ad like that on BP but looks like I stand corrected.
Fifth time?
Tennessee, you have a problemā¦
Some of the foulest mouths I have encountered since I retired to East TN have been āministersā.
He was answering an ad for underage girls. Apparently there was another minister arrested, too. Unsurprisngly, none of those arrested were identified as transgender.
Hereās a primary article, which I wish TPM had included a link to:
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/crime-courts/tbi-kpd-to-announce-results-of-human-trafficking-investigation-33444f6e-1419-44b6-e053-0100007fdb69-380253981.html
Obviously, they need more god crap all over the place to stop this.
Itās too bad folks in Tennessee are all caught up in closing Islamic mosques and patrolling bathrooms. Maybe they could have caught this pedophile earlier.
People who are extremely religious are capable of horrific crimes and evil. Religion is not a force for good in them.
Thanks for the link. I agree, should have been linked in article.
No news here, just another Republican family values voter seeking a little R&R.
Good link.
Itās interesting to me that answering an ad for an underage girl (or boy) would get a human trafficking charge as opposed to various CSC or attempted CSC charges. Iām probably okay with the human trafficking charge, because we need all the help we can get reducing that particular practice, but I wouldāve thought the trafficking charges would be saved for the people who actually kidnap these kids and push them into prostitution, rather than the johns who partake in the process.
I do think the Class B to Class A shift based on proximity to a church is a little silly. Iām all for the act itself being a Class A felony, but the proximity to a church is a dumb reason for it to be a worse crime than if it takes place 1000 feet from a gas station.
Heās obviously one of those transsexuals.
Apparently, those of the āgodlyā persuasion are immune from such appellations. Also, white.
I say this has less with him being a minister than it does a pervert taking advantage of the privileges and assumptions folks grant to people in certain positions.
More Christianists who donāt know the difference between reaching out and groping, huh?
Wellā¦Iām sure Jeebus forgave them boutā 10 minutes before they were arrestedā¦and he and Mike Huckabee will forgive emā again at their parole hearings. Praise Jeebus!
Now time for the ālaying on of handsā childrenā¦come forth and accept His blessings!
(BTW: $100 bucks says every one of these perverse and predatory fuckers were loud proponents of keeping trans people out of the āwrongā bathroom to āprotect the children.ā
#See yaā later alligatorā¦After while, pedophile.
What is needed, evidently, is a law to keep āfamily valuesā Rightie and āgodlyā pastors and preachers out of public bathrooms. )
Why is trafficking such a lucrative practice? Because there are people willing to pay good money for it. Iām glad to see the government cracking down on the practice from all angles (this has been in the news recently in my corner of PA as well). This is disgusting, no matter who gets caught in the snare, but the fact that heās a youth minister makes it all the more creepy.
Praise the Lord!
