Judge Tears Man To Shreds After Hearing His Shocking Child Porn Excuse
Daily Headlines ^ | March 27, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 03/29/2025 8:17:59 PM PDT by Red Badger

In a shocking display of moral depravity and twisted logic, a convicted pedophile from Michigan attempted to use bizarre and disturbing arguments to defend himself in court. The case highlights the dangers of allowing perverse ideologies to infiltrate our legal system and underscores the urgent need for a return to traditional values and common sense.

Joseph Gobrick, a 45-year-old man from Michigan, was found guilty of possessing pornographic images of children on his computer. Instead of accepting the consequences of his actions, Gobrick resorted to a series of absurd and offensive defenses in an attempt to avoid punishment.

During his trial, Gobrick claimed that he was not sexually attracted to children, despite the overwhelming evidence against him. He went on to assert that he identified as an “8-year-old girl” and that his possession of child pornography was protected under the First Amendment.

These ludicrous claims were rightfully dismissed by the court, and Gobrick now faces at least ten years in prison. However, the fact that such a defense was even considered demonstrates how far we have strayed from the moral and legal principles that once governed our society.

Kent County Assistant Prosecutor Daniel Helmer rightfully called Gobrick “a danger to the public,” adding that he continued to display a shocking lack of remorse during the trial. Gobrick’s inability to recognize the harm caused by child pornography and his insistence on his right to possess such material is deeply troubling.

Kent County Circuit Court Judge Paul Denenfeld echoed this sentiment, stating, “This isn’t just virtual stuff; this is also real people being harmed.” Gobrick’s actions have real and devastating consequences for the innocent victims involved, and his callous disregard for their suffering is reprehensible.

By choosing to represent himself and firing his court-appointed attorney, Gobrick demonstrated an alarming disconnect from reality. His defense tactics, which included bizarre references to gender and age identity, bestiality, free speech, and even Nazi Germany, were not only desperate but also indicative of a dangerous erosion of moral values in our society.

Gobrick’s case is a stark reminder of the importance of preserving traditional values and upholding the rule of law. The fact that an individual could even entertain the idea that possessing child pornography is a constitutionally protected right should be a wake-up call to all Americans.

It is time for us to reject the twisted ideologies that have infiltrated our legal system and advocate for a return to the principles of justice, morality, and common sense. The safety and well-being of our children depend on it, and we cannot allow degenerate individuals like Gobrick to dictate the terms of our society.

We must stand up against the forces that seek to undermine our values and work together to create a safer, more just world for our children. Let us not forget the words of Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Did the judge tear him to shreds as the headline says? I doubt it.

Not really surprising that this guy is a lunatic.

Typical Democrat thinking.

Joseph Gobrick, a 45-year-old man from Michigan, was found guilty
of possessing pornographic images of children on his computer.

At trial, Gobrick claimed that he was not sexually
attracted to children, despite the overwhelming evidence.

He claimed that he identified as an “8-year-old girl” and that
his possession of child porn was protected under the First Amendment.

Put this freak in with the general population. He’ll certainly be popular with the love starved inmates.

“Gobrick’s case is a stark reminder of the importance of preserving traditional values and upholding the rule of law.”

I’d still say that what this guy did was no worse than the PUBLIC SCHOOL that required their little girls to put on a porn show for a guy, in the girls’ locker room.

If I were the judge, after hearing that I would’ve ordered the bailiff to march him down front, kneel him down in front of the bench, put a .45 up to his head and pull the trigger right then and there in the courtroom.

Nothing makes me see red than someone who would harm a child, especially then offering up a piss-poor excuse like this animal did.

Make an example out of one of these demonic monsters and the rest of ‘em will get the memo pretty quick.

He identifies as an eight year old girl. There are guys waiting in line for a date with him in prison.

I’m surprised they didn’t hire him at the local school system to read “Heather has two mommies”, or some of the other pornographic books they feed them now days.

This clearly flies in the fsce of current societal morals and psych teachings. We can be anything we want, we just have to identify ourselves as such. Women can identify as men. Men can identify as women. People can identify as animals. Women can marry trees, or themselves. Men can marry cars. Adults can identify as children.

Judge is woefully behind the times and “science”.

You have an interesting perspective. If the punishments were extremely tough for these perverts, there would be fewer of them. The left knows this. Not only do perverts have it easier when the left is in charge, but the left actually encourages perverts. Which is why we have so many trannies and child mutilations.

This guy is evil because the left is evil. In our culture of 20 or 30 years ago, this person may not have been a pervert.

Thank you democrat party. The party of evil.

And yet this is EXACTLY what democrats do and advocate for.

They are truly the party of evil.

“Put this freak in with the general population.”

Oh ... most definitely! He’ll identify as an adult male continuously being raped by bigger adult males. Until he’s an adult male receiving stronger justice by other adult males.
