Stop the handlers and the demand; stop the need for enslaving humans. You should be horrified to know that human and sex trafficking is a HUGE problem in the United States of America. Yes, this country. Not some foreign place where underprivileged, poor and oppressed people live. But right here under all of our noses.
From Dan Rather’s recent article on Portland, Oregon, the hipster, green lovin’ capital of the US, “[Prostitution] is a very lucrative business, according to Justus. ‘An average pimp with one kid will make between $800 and $l,000 a day. That’s seven days a week, 30 days a month,’ he said. And the pimps usually have a stable of young girls. No wonder so many criminals in the drug trade have turned to it which they have in droves. There’s less chance of being caught, less chance of being prosecuted if caught, lighter sentences — if any — if convicted. There is, and has been for a long time, a national ‘War on Drugs.’ There isn’t one on child prostitution and what amounts to a slave trade. Only feeble efforts at best. Justus is frustrated that the Portland police have only two full-time vice investigators, compared to dozens of drug investigators. ‘I’m not a politician. I’m just a cop. But if I’m a criminal and I got busted for drugs and I had a regional (drug) task force over here. And there’s another task force over there, and there, and then I know there’s only two vice investigators in the city of Portland, let me think. I think I’ll sell women because what are the chances of me being caught?’”
This changeover from drugs to humans is appalling. But like drug use, the consumption of it needs to end. Pray for the men who pay to have sex with children and the pimps that make the profit.
