Crime in Washington State
We all know that terrible crimes occur every day behind doors and curtains. We know that logically, and we can discuss it rationally.
And then we find out that it's a neighbor, a relative, an associate who has committed or participated in these crimes and our perspective shifts.
This 53 year old resident of Spokane, WA is going to jail for participating in an online child pornography ring that supported the most heinous of crimes against children [some as young as 5].
I imagine his community was surprised and horrified.
