    It's still a crime: child solicitation conviction.

    It's not like he's getting off scott free. Everyone needs to re-read the article. The guy is still being convicted of a crime, just not the more severe crime.

    Same thing with the bomb makers, blah, blah, whatever other analogy. There are different sentences for different crimes.

    That sounded like something from Family Guy.

    Tom Tucker: "Still, men seeking sex behavior from minors will be jailed. And now, to explain for how long, here's Ollie Williams. Ollie, what's the sentence going to be?"

    Ollie: "NOT VERY LONG."

    Tom Tucker: "Thanks Ollie."

    That the rising Chris Hanson gif hasn't shown up yet is a miracle.

    Is this a bad time to point out that it's Chris Hansen?

    As long as you're not packing a Hello Kitty doll.

    I was searched at the door.

    That sucks.

    Do you think they'll give the doll back?

    I thought he was referring to the Jaguars punter. And that he was crying because he chopped another hole in his leg.

    If we were all judged based on intent, rather than actual action, some of us would have a much longer rap sheet.

    You don't seem to understand the definition of entrapment.
