HAHAHAHA OMG! Its hard enough getting legit stuff off of craigslist! You have to be a special kind of stupid to fall for a sex ad with a kid! Props to the cops on this one. Too bad the avg time in jail is only 20 or so months.

Police have to do these stings in order to drum up criminal offenses to keep their jobs, so the fact that no kids were actually molested will slip past and yet the tax payer is going to foot the bill for all the trials and possible incarceration of the accused, so be it. There's no real protection provided here, in fact there may actually be more harm than good caused by such police stings.

That said, it was nice to see that not one single hispanic was arrested, mostly whites, one asian and one black. Much like the MSNBC show, "To Catch A White Sex Predator".

However, since women make up about 20% of registered sex offenders, a person has to wonder how come no women are showing up on the MSNBC show or at this sting, could it be that the people are being screened to keep other children or women from showing up to be arrested? LOL.

I thought that "how to catch a predator" would have taught these silly men not to play this dangerous game. This is what happens when you think it won't happen to you.

Scorpio

You're in the mood to spend money on a favourite hobby or pastime today, so take care if you're supposed to making every penny count at the moment. The temptation to treat yourself to something that you'll undoubtedly enjoy will be too strong to resist, and the trouble is that you might not restrict yourself to just one item either. It looks like being an extravagant day!
