SENTENCE: Let it fit real crime

Now let me get this straight: A Mr. Provenzano was found guilty of watching child pornography videos in the privacy of his own home and sentenced to 10 years in prison. According to the Coeur d’Alene Press article Nov. 14, 2013, this man had been doing this for many years. But in all that time he NEVER hurt a child! But, the court deemed him a threat to our children.

Yes, I know that child pornography is gross, disgusting, immoral and horribly filthy. But, who was he hurting?

Good God folks, how can something like this happen in America? Where is our freedom to watch what we want to watch in the privacy of our homes?

Aren’t you glad that the authorities don’t come knocking on your door and catch you watching the programs you watch? The sitcoms that are all about sex? And you with your children right there watching it with you. Parents are more of a threat to our children than Mr. Provenzano ever was.

Now comes what I deem the biggest threat to our children: The abortionist!

These men and women are in the business of MURDERING children. So, where is the outcry? Abortionists are killing machines, with no feelings or conscience. And they get paid very well for doing it. Planned Parenthood, with the help of our tax dollars, supports these murdering deranged animals.

So, I am just wondering who is the real threat to our children: The one who watches videos in his own home, or the one who goes after our children with scissors, vacuums, chemicals or throwing them around the room until they are dead? Which ones deserve to spend time in prison?

Food for thought!
