These idiots just don't get it. At least go to a bar and find a woman, not an underaged child. What is it with these buffoons?

The internet. Where the men are men and the 15 year-old girls are FBI agents.

Criminal master minds. All of the publicity on the news about perps getting busted and these chumps just can't figure it out.

Like shooting fish in a barrel. Tell me, what 14 year old girl wants to get it on with a balding, paunchy 40+ year old man? Exactly. None! They are all FBI agents!

I have no sympathy for these guys. Their family and children, yes but not these morons themselves.

It is always entertaining to watch their lives crumble around them because they wanted to bang a teenager.

What bothers me is that the "crime" consisted of sending bytes to an impostor, receiving bytes from the same impostor, and then showing up to meet the impostor(s)--who were (duh) cops. No actual victim was harmed; nobody was touched except the "perps" who got cuffed.

OK, they're slime--but this borders on "thoughtcrime" to my way of thinking. Usually we wait until an actual crime is committed before we arrest the criminal, no?

Friends of ours have a 19-year-old son who just began his prison sentence for this last week. He is a college student with a 4.0. It's not always so clear cut. This young man was 18 and in an internet chat room where there were a lot of teens, supposedly, of varying ages. They talked dirty. He was stupid, but assumed that he was talking to girls close to his own age. Not all of them said they were 14. Someone proposed to meet. He didn't want to engage in sex but was curious about the whole thing. He had made plans that evening with friends back home and showed up without the paraphernalia he had been assigned to bring. The awaiting police tore up his car looking for it; never found it. They took his computer and could tell he didn't have a history of trolling these chat rooms. He was found guilty of all charges and is now in prison. A very sad story.

I take it the Aggie won't be enrolling for the fall semester. He definitely sounds like a dangerous psycho, and it's fortunate he's off the street.

Ahh the Internet. Where men are men, women are men and teenagers are undercover cops.

De La Garza...arrived "in Shenandoah with condoms, a digital camera, rope restraints and a handgun."

Filthy scumbag.

This AG sting operation has been ongoing for a while now and has made I think something just less than 100 arrest. I was watching a video report about it on TXCN last night but don't remember the exact details.
