    He was looking at child p*rn. I wouldn't give a damn if he was looking at adult p*rn. You're making all these assumptions about his life, I'm not. He could live a good, bad, whatever life. He could have kids and be a great family man, or he could be a rapist. I don't give a damn and I'm not making guesses. I'm acting based on the FACT that the dude was looking child p*rn in a public lobby. You writing that God will take care of that is fine. I'm still turning him in. Child p*rn is not a victimless crime. So you're not a coward because you wouldn't turn him in. I just vehemently disagree with your opinion on how we should act in this situation.

    And writing that living as a maintenance guy in hotel is not a defense of his actions. That's not a terrible suffering thing you know. I've had worse jobs. You wrote earlier that you're not defending him, but you wouldn't turn him in. Those two things are incompatible in this situation. You have to make choice imo, because child p*rn is not a private action that only effects yourself. There are victims there and you should stand against the people who take advantage of children, even if it's just the viewers of child p*rn.

    I just dont understand what gives you the right to turn him in? Maybe it's in the f'd up world we live in. He has a problem. Is it your divine duty to send him to prison? Why can't he live his own life?

    Hey, if he commits a murder, why snitch and send him to jail? Why can't he live his own life?

    The answer to your question is that by supporting that crap he's egregiously violating the rights of the children. If you are so concerned about individual sanctity, maybe you should think about them for a little while. If everybody just "minded their own business" the world would be a ****ty place, full of pain and evil, where anybody who's a big enough bully can get away with whatever they want.

    I turned him into hotel security and reported it to management. It's not my duty to ruin his life. It's his responsibility to not look at child p*rn in the hotel lobby where he works. You're okay with living in a world where people are free to look at child p*rn in the lobby and not have repercussions. I disagree with that attitude. Not only is it illegal, but it victimizes children.

    Seriously, how would he get better. I don't want to ruin his life. My motive is to stop him from looking at child p*rn in the lobby. I guess I could have walked up to him and said "sir, you have a problem. Please get yourself some help and stop looking at child p*rn." Would that be better? I don't have a problem with doing that in addition to telling security.

    So you honestly would not do anything? You write of your own experience and how someone falsely accused you of something. Well have you experienced anything involving people looking at child p*rn before? Do you know of any victims? I'm telling you dude. If you witnessed this, it will bother you. It should bother you. And if you still stick to a principle of letting him do his thing, then again, we'll just have to disagree with what our roles as citizens in this society should be.

    I'm defending someones freedom. Not child p*rn. Read my post before you make my comments. I placed murder as something that's a whole lot different and I would snitch. Jesus.

    Calling the maintenance man a rapist is reaching. Big time. And believing in god has little to do with this argument. Do I believe god will handle this sick problem? Yes I do. Its not about the child p*rn. I'm 100percent against it, but I'm also against someone determining someone else's life because "Kim" decided to look on the guys computer screen.

    Its this simple.... you look at child p*rn, you do the time. Its called crime and punishment. It is what prevents many people from doing crimes like these. If we just say "Hey he is looking at child p*rn, but what if he is a family man." to everyone child p*rn observer than what reason do child pornographers have to fear the law?

    If he and all his buddies didn't pay for those photos of children getting sexually abused, the children would not be sexually abused. He is the direct impetus, which is why kiddie p*rn is illegal and anathema in every civilized country in the world.

    every business runs on supply and demand even child p*rnography and yes child p*rnography is a business( an evil one). IF everyone "snitched" like Kim then that means less child p*rnography(less demand) and which ultimately means less supply. The guy paid to access that child p*rn site most likely. He funded child p*rnography. His crime was not victimless because he helped fund a pervert to create child p*rn.

    To be factual, there was no penis in the pictures. There were many naked girls in bad positions. These weren't teens or high school looking. It's not a Lupe situation. They were middle school and younger nudes. It still is illegal and anyone catching dudes looking at this stuff in public areas should report the crime in my opinion. Tmac35, we just have to agree to disagree on how we should behave as citizens when we witness these things in public. I took back calling you a coward, because it's obvious that your opinion promoting inaction is not based on fear of reprisal.

    But once again saying he is paying for this is also reaching, and everything
    about it is reaching. It could have been a hoax of a website
    or whatever. Was he probably doing it intently? Yes, probably. We have different outlooks(me and Kim) and he may be a better person than me for it. I just think it's wrong to send someone too jail for something that has little or nothing to do with you. Let me put this out here. Child p*rnography is without a doubt one of the most disgusting things out there. I don't support that. I support people having their own basic freedoms. The people putting the photos up should be sent to a mad house or prison. But a guy goes to prison for looking at something and an innocent bystander notices. I just don't know how worthy he is of serving time for that no matter how sick it really is.
