FBI Recovers 48 Child Prostitutes in Prostitution Raid

Horrible. As society crumbles it is always the children that suffer the most. I don’t know who is worse the people forcing the children to turn tricks or the customers who know women and children are being forced to service them but go along with it rather than help. Here’s an idea Libertarians, before we legalize prostitution let’s have the johns get their acts together.

From CNN:

(CNN) — Law enforcement officials arrested more than 500 people, and took custody of 48 juveniles in a coordinated 29-city weekend sweep aimed at combating child prostitution, the FBI announced Monday.

Task forces made up largely of state and local police officers arrested and booked what authorities said were 464 adult prostitutes, 55 pimps and 55 customers on state charges. While most faced local charges, a senior FBI official said he expected there were would be some federal charges as well.

The FBI Monday said 19 searches were conducted, netting a total of $438,000 in cash, plus illegal drugs, cars and computers.

The four dozen juveniles were recovered in the third phase of Operation Cross Country, an initiative that seeks to help child prostitutes and crack down on people who control them and patronize them.

In the previous coordinated operations, authorities recovered 21 alleged child prostitutes last June and 47 in October.

In 2003 the FBI, Department of Justice prosecutors, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children launched what was called the Innocence Lost National Initiative to address what had become a growing problem of children forced into prostitution. Many were young runaways.

Officials say the 32 Innocence Lost task forces formed nationwide have now recovered about 670 children in the six years, and seized more than $3 million in cash.

The most recent operation involved law enforcement agencies in several states including California, Alaska, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado, Oregon, Alabama, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota and Arizona.

Perhaps apropos of nothing most of the states listed are ones who have either turned a blind eye to illegal immigration i.e. the modern day slave trade, or are being overwhelmed by illegals But far be it from me to suggest Pax Americana.

I think we should fast track women and children victimized when they come over here fro citizenship and make more spaces available for law abiding Latin Americans fleeing a third world hellholes. Then we should give the death penalty to anyone who transports children over the border for prostitution, but I’m a “wingnut fascist”, what do I know?

More Democrat Voter Fraud: 30,000 Felons in Florida Illegally Registered to Vote

Of course of those 30,000 Democrats outnumber Republicans by 2:1. From the Orlando Sentinel:

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.

Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.

Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they’re still in prison.

Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.

Florida’s elections chief, Secretary of State Kurt Browning, acknowledged his staff has failed to remove thousands of ineligible felons because of a shortage of workers and a crush of new registrations in this critical swing state.

Browning said he was not surprised by the newspaper’s findings. “I’m kind of shocked that the number is as low as it is,” he said.

Asked how many ineligible felons may be on Florida’s rolls, Browning said, “We don’t know.”

The Division of Elections has a backlog of more than 108,000 possible felons who have registered to vote since January 2006 that it hasn’t had the time or staff to verify. Browning estimated that about 10 percent, once checked, would be ineligible.

Read the rest. Funny how this “simple backlog” of cases favors Democrats in the elections isn’t it?

Uh-Oh. China Tells Banks to Stop Lending to U.S.

From Reuters:

BEIJING, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.

The Hong Kong newspaper cited unidentified industry sources as saying the instruction from the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) applied to interbank lending of all currencies to U.S. banks but not to banks from other countries.

How’s the Fed going to bail us out of that one?

Victimless Crime File: Babysitters Toke Up with 12-Year-Old

The “logic” behind legalization is that it will cut down on criminality, but no legalization proponent has ever been willing to take on the issue of whether or not legalizing pot would make people like these less likely to do the horrible things they do while high. If they were honest they’d admit that legalization wouldn’t decrease this sort of child abuse and might even increase it, but then again if they were being honest most would tell you they don’t think this is a particularly big deal:
