Perhaps the DA found them provocative and sexual in nature. Maybe it is he who should seek help with his “problem”?

THis is not a new thing

From Oliver Twist

If the law supposes that, then the law is a ass, a idiot! If that’s the eye of the law, then the law is a bachelor. And the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience.

This was penned in 1837.... everthing old is new again — when politics gets involved.

I take nakey pics of my little grandsons any time. Lucky for me, the ratio of dressed to naked pics are about 40-1 and also I haven’t printed any of them at an outside source.

The Walmart worker was probably bored, and might have just wanted to stir the pot and tease the local DA.

The DA’s office is the one which chose to file the absurd charges.

I would say that the DA was probably a closet pedophile.

Here is the money quote:

“It was an interesting case and I think we did the right thing”

Spoken like a true bureaucrat disconnected from the carnage his daily “work” creates in the world. He gets up every day with the opportunity to be a blessing or a curse to the community he serves. He is living in a fantasy world of granite floors, imposing statues and oak wood work. Lots of people say “yes sir” and “no sir” to him all day. The little people make for “interesting” intellectual exercises in governmental power.

This my friends is why you should be very leery of placing human beings in power and authority over you. This is why government should be small, underfunded, and incompetent. We have the incompetent part nailed, now work on the underfunded and small component. Yet we live in a democracy that can’t wait to vote new and exciting restrictions upon the heads of each other. Owning a car is the most obvious and aggravating example. I can think of no other everyday activity that requires more expensive Proskynesis to the State and by proxy my neighbors than owing and operating a car. Taxes, stickers, paperwork, and full time omnipresent armed tax collectors everywhere you look. But hey my neighbors want this...

You sound like a sick person. Just kidding. These stories are disgustingly wrong.

All the while they are shoving gay this and gay that crap down our throats like it is normal and acceptable, or any other deviancy. They need to go to that DA’s house and check him out. They might just be the one with the real problem.

I have 4 grandbabies, 3 boys and a new baby girl. When I come home from work on the days that grandma gets to spend time with them, they are all(except the baby girl who is only a month old)running around the yard, naked as jay birds!

My first response is where's your pants? Get your pants on!

I'm so damned worried that some perv may take pics of them and post them on the internet and the gov coming back on me!

I hate the way the libs have twisted my peace full world around!

Geesh louise. We’ve got photos of bathtime and diaper changes, even, LOL...I’d be arrested in a heartbeat!

But this reminded me of a female doctor I used to go to when I lived in Toledo Ohio a few years ago. She was the mother of two girls, ages about 2 and 4. She had portraits, some very large, with very ornate frames, of her daughters. They were in her office, in the waiting area, and in the exam rooms. Thing about it...ALL of them were done like glamour shots...hair & lots of makeup done, but, butt naked with carefully placed hats, boas, and highheels...looked like they were playing dressup. Why would you want your patients staring at portraits of your naked daughters?

I guess all the Christmas cards showing Mary and an unclothed infant Jesus, not to mention all the churches that have paintings and statues of that subject, will be the grounds for arrests and prosecutions.

And yet if she were actually a sex predator with a student, it’s a slap on the wrist.

They're usually candids.

I have one of one of my grand daughters who had just got off the potty completely nude and was looking proudly at what she had just done (She was being potty trained).

She is 14 years old now and for some reason doesn't think that picture is cute at all and has threatened to disown me if I ever show it to any of her friends.

[District Attorney] Rebert said in Dull's case, "What made them offensive was their graphic nature. A little girl with her bare butt showing, kind of looking over her shoulder.

By this nitwit DA's definition, the iconic Coppertone ad is child porn.

JUNE CLEAVER ARRESTED FOR DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORN!

“Baby Picture” October 31, 1959
Miss Landers asks her students to bring in a baby picture for a beautiful baby contest. Without telling Beaver, June submits a photo of infant Beaver naked on a rug. Beaver is embarrassed but his mother thinks the photo cute. When Beaver requests the return of the photo, Miss Landers gives it to him without looking at it. Later, Ward cuts the photo down to just a headshot.
