apparently though you are ok with publishing material that teaches and encourages people to sexually abuse underage children?

Yelling fire in a crowded building is different from writing a book.

Making speeches is different from writing a book.


You don't have to buy his book.

You don't have to buy the satanic "sacred scriptures."


In your examples, people are unwillingly subjected to another person's abuse of freedom.

In the act of simply writing a book, no one's freedom is abused.

In arresting him for the book he wrote, his freedoms have been abused.

Killing someone with a gun is different than killing someone with a knife...that is not much of an argument.

So? you don't have to listen to a white supremacist say "go kill some blacks" either, but it's still considered hate speech.

ok...what if a American Muslim cleric wrote a book pleading with American muslims to kill other Americans and told them how to do it? Protected speech?

In a burning building we an smell smoke and see fire and make rational decisions. People still have the ability to do that. But not everyone does that and to protect MY rights and freedoms you are not allowed to shout "FIRE" because of those few that might not be as objective

It advocates the sexual abuse of children

The bottom line is you want to incarcerate someone simply because of something they wrote.

Nothing is right about pedophilia.

Nothing is right about A LOT of stuff people write about.

Let's go after them too.


Whatever your rationale is for going after this guy will lead to the abuse of the freedoms of millions more if you carry the logic used to arrest him just a little further-- given that the logic and laws used are used equally for every person and every sitaution deemed distasteful or even unlawful.

I am shocked in the way that law enforcement was able to go after and arrest this guy so quickly.

It just lets me know that our technology and our laws, if tweaked just a little bit, can lead to an America that not even we ourselves could recognize.


Big brother really is watching, but we're too blind and too busy to notice.
