The Meese Commission had the definitive word when it said there was no discernible link between pronography and violence. PERIOD.I think not.
"A majority of the members of the (Meese) commission concluded that certain types of sexually explicit material are harmful, especially material oriented toward violent sex. This kind of material, the commissioners said, bears a causal relationship to sexual violence." From Pember, Don R., Mass Media Law, 2000 Edition, p. 478, who references the Final Report of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography.

Wimpy Americans want justice to be a neat and tidy, humane, compassionate, or invisible thing. They think that is civilized. It isn't. Justice is rough and harsh --- and necessarily so. Without justice, an even worse, uncivilized situation arises: a state of injustice. Evil flourishes where justice is too timid to take control.
Every breath Charles Manson breathes, every breath Andrea Yates breathes, every breath every perverted, murdering predator convict breathes is new life to the evil spirit of injustice.
A war has been declared on innocence and children - we must fight it with fury and win. We can't win when we give power to psychiatrists and pundits who want to treat the attackers like patients and fellow citizens instead of enemies.
