This is not okay

Why does it take the judge being corrupt to make this not okay?

The kids are all right. Until a bunch of self-righteous pricks overcriminalize them. Then we create problems that we didn't have before.

Listen to some of the audio from the victims. The last two are especially frightening. These were two kids who hadn't done anything wrong at all, and they got punished.

When the story hit Volokh, there was a lengthy debate over whether one of the capital federal charges could stick (a statute that made acts along the lines of "forcing people into involuntary servitude under color of law" a capital crime). I liked that idea.

Would be nice, but the articles I read didn't seem to think it would ever get that far. Alas. A real lesson could be learned here if they did.
