From 2014: Author John Grisham Says Not All Men Who Watch Child Porn Are Pedophiles ( pizzagate )

submitted by organic1

Well, I had no idea that Grisham thought viewing child porn was OK.

"But they got online one night and started surfing around, probably had too much to drink or whatever, and pushed the wrong buttons, went too far and got into child porn."

And he happens to live in Charlottesville, VA

"I have no sympathy for real pedophiles,” he said, speaking to The Telegraph from his office in Charlottesville, Virginia. "God, please lock those people up. But so many of these guys do not deserve harsh prison sentences, and that's what they're getting."

"There's so many 'sex offenders' - that's what they're called - that they put them in the same prison. Like they're a bunch of perverts... We've gone nuts with this incarceration," he added, citing an anecdote of a law-school pal who he says accidentally viewed porn that was apparently incorrectly labelled as child porn.

Porn incorrectly labeled as child porn? I would think if something was labeled 'child porn', it's a given that you wouldn't click on it if you're not sick in the head and have half a brain. You don't have to have a law degree to know this. Maybe he missed the day this was discussed in law school?

Grisham is Ole Miss southern "royalty." The son of a former friend of mine from down there is good friends with him.

No kidding! Has he ever said anything interesting or "red flaggy" about him?

That's because the chump is a pedophile gatekeeper.

I knew he was a gatekeeper when in one of his books he tried to play homeless T.I.s for crazy by making it seem that everybody who says the FBI or CIA, has fucked up their life is a nut.

Interesting! Do you remember what book that was?

Pedophile literally means to like kids in a sexual way.

Just because I didn't have sex with a girl the first 20 years of my life doesn't mean I wasn't a heterosexual.

A troll tactic of the chans embeds real or fake hash cp images to incriminate people...

I have also seen probable cp just image searching adult stuff and clicking ads on motherless.

He could be referring to drawings/depictions of fictional children in sexual situations. These kinds of pictures have been treated as actual "child porn" by the courts for a long time, and people have been sentenced to prison for having, say, pornography of Bart and Lisa from the Simpsons. One doesn't need to excuse pedophilia to wonder what the extent is of imprisoning people for drawing out fantasies involving no real people whatsoever. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2010/01/simpsons-powerpuff-girls-porn-nets-jail-time-for-australian/

How can such intelligent people say such stupid things!

They are not intelligent; just savages in disguise.

quantokitty

Very true.

Sure John, it wasn't their fault. They got drunk, accidentally clicked a link and a few thousand bad photos jumped onto their hard drive.

Isn't that the same thing as blaming the victim for getting raped?

He is a lawyer too. That is a sick and scary thing that a lawyer said this!

And you are right. If I ever saw anything that said "child porn", I am not clicking on it to see it! Only a person (pedo) would do this!

Big News Flash: Doctors and Lawyers are some of the biggest freaks around.

mergen

there is a genre of porn really where of age girls role-play as teenagers/school girls.

Are people getting locked up because they accidentally stumble upon CP and don't delete it right away? Seriously? This is his argument? unbelievable. Russia hacked porn on to my laptop would be a more plausible lie.

Well, he did write 'Playing for Pizza' in 2007 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_for_Pizza
