I hear, that the Lawyer wasn't much use either, actually I think the Comic book Legal Fund, people said he could have gotten out of this, had he kept going. Still I suspect the lawyer fear mongered him to taking the plea bargain. Probably the guy who got busted was feeling ashamed really.
I mean bloody hell 15 years for drawings? I don't think he was even given the whole picture of the situation he was in.
Still thats all speculation, but still the protect act of 2003 was actually struck down, as being unconsitutional, so they are charging him with "Obscenity Laws" Which also should have only been used in the context that he was using the material in question in public.
Ofcourse since they had to scrounge around in his mail to get the said evidence I think that should have been caught, but then I ain't a Lawyer like Eric Chase Who Seems to have missed that entirely. I mean why was it even red flagged? What possible reason did they search that package? Clearly it was purely concidental ehh?
So yeah they got him on the "Obscene material" (postal people searching it), and "Interstate Commerce" Because it was imported from elsewhere. Yep just those 2 things and he get all that crap....yeah...and a murderer only gets 2-4 years? This is turning out to be as bad as people saying Every drug is bad....even though alot of those drugs have good medical purposes....
As for an actual lolicon vs pedophile = one will sit on there ass and read their comics, and not try anything in the outside world, the latter is already out there trying to get what they want. One is a is a sitting duck, the other is a wolf, I'd rather try to kill a wolf for fear of my sheep. With that said however the justice system decided to mesh the duck with the wolf, which already doesn't work. 2 completely different animals classified to be the same?...yeah do the biology
Also Not All Lolicon manga/doujinshi "victimzes" actually some involves about a growing relationship, sides there is always a wide spectrum in the smallest of details. Otherwise, most lolicons are apparenty drawn to flat-chested females and let me tell you, tall blonde and flat, just does not work well I mean seriously. Flat chested females look better when they are shorter than 160cm.
Trust me on that one sides atleast thats a body figure that actually exists in the asian world, im america not so much i don't think. actually i think the orginal root for lolicon was: lolita a female who has fully matured mentally (age of 20 and above), but looks like she hasn't physically. I think the closest counter part to this in the western world would be "Barely Legal." Legal, but doesn't look it.
Also since the topic of the "Obscenity Laws" have popped up, In certain states, urinating in public will have you thrown in on the sex offenders list. No joke, you get to be with all the serial rapists, actual child kidnappers/rapists and those who actually violate animals, and all those seeming wonderful people. Isn't that JUST Dandy?
