How does his first amendment rights balance against child molestation?

Posting a photo online is not molestation. Punish the wrong acts he commits, not every act committed by someone who has committed wrong acts in the past. Otherwise, you might as well throw out the entire Constitution.

Don't allow our appallingly poor politicians to start saying that anything that might scare someone should be tightly monitored, controlled, or forbidden.

That is not the issue in this case. Pedophilia not only scares people but is ILLEGAL; and this guy not only promotes it but shows people how to get away with it (at least in its early stages). If that does not warrant tight monitoring, then I don’t know what does...

Make no mistake, I’m all for stopping government intervention in almost any respect.

But these are children that this guy is posting pictures of, 3 - 11 year old children, the ones that should be protected from animals like this man.

So to tell you the truth, I don’t want to hear any libertarian arguments in this case, it’s illegal, immoral, and should carry the stiffest of jail sentences imaginable.

This guy is giving every perverted whack job pictures and locations of children, and do you really think none of them would try to get close, hurt, kidnap, or kill one of these children, if so you are truly naive my friend.

People talk so much about gateway drugs...how about gateway acts of pedophilia? Just as people that promote using drugs are monitored, so should this be.
People talk about the “warning signs” concerning acts of violence like the VT shooter. What could have been done to stop it? How can laws be changed to avoid it in the future and protect us? How can the red flags be monitored to avoid these acts?
We do these things to protect ourselves...now we need to protect our children from being used as gateways to more severe and brutal forms of pedophilia.
NO, not all abnormal or scary to some behaviors should be monitored by law, but THIS sort of behavior should be and with the right laws, can be.

Posting a photo of a minor on a site specifically dedicated to directing pedophiles to where young girls can be found is definitely intimidation. There may not be a law against that, but it is certainly immoral.

This guy better be glad I'm not this girl's mother. He would be dead in such a way that the cops would have no choice but to believe he was killed breaking in to molest my daughter.
