Law is the foundation of democracy that means everyone gets a fair trial by their peers. Hate the predators all you want - despise them, but you simply can't act out murder and revenge on them - then where do you stop?

Porn is never the main reason why someone starts liking underage kids, but we must admit that it does fuel the desires. Stop showing porn and the problem still continues.

Feel free to ask any cop on the street or your lawyer just how right this show is. How about those predators who watch the show and think, "hm, maybe I should be smarter in how I do this". No one ever thinks this show is teaching people to get away with it who could have been caught by the police. There is the chance and you must admit it, that even more kids are being abused because this show is teaching the pedo the tricks used to catch them - they simply adapt so now the cops can't even catch them.

as said at the bottom of the article

Mr. Baldwin said he hopes Murphy won?t be used again.

?We?re going to do whatever we need to do to make sure this doesn?t continue,? he said. ?I think it?s a noble cause, but our police department is hired to serve and protect our citizens, and not to expose them to outside threats.?
Bullshit. Most cops would be thrilled with the outcome.

And, anybody can be sued for anything by anyone at anytime, this is America. The show is not to blame here at all. What would they sue the show for? The guy was not exposed on TV until he shot himself, after the fact. It is a news story. He was not exposed on TV prior to him killing himself. Sorry, I don't think you can sue for the POTENTIAL exposure you might receive after a crime and prevail. This is why news organizations are given certain protections.

BTW, the prosecutors sister needs a dose of reality. Her brother was a gay pedophile. End of story. The police didn't make him a gay pedophile. Dateline didn't make him a gay pedophile. He was a gay pedophile long before Dateline and their cameras rolled into town.

The people of Murphy are pissed because they don't want their property values to go down because the world now thinks they are a town full of pedophiles.
