ALL FOUR?:

Four suicides after porn probe (news.com.au, October 2, 2004)

FOUR men have reportedly committed suicide after they were interviewed over child pornography allegations.

The four suspects - two from Victoria, one from Queensland and one from Western Australia - were found dead after they were interviewed by police this week, according to a newspaper report today.

Three were questioned by police involved in Operation Auxin, the nationwide crackdown on an Internet child pornography ring that has led to more than 200 people being charged.

The fourth, a prison officer at the Fulham Correctional Centre near Sale in Victoria's east, was found dead in his car at nearby Stratford on Thursday after he was questioned on child porn allegations not related to the operation, the report said.


It seems awfully unlikely that in today's world four guys did the right thing the same week.

Question,

Suppose the rights of these four pedofiles were violated by ending their lives prematurly. would that be a moral outrage or a moral victory?

Sounds like someone might have been tying up some loose ends.

Or maybe shame still exists in the world.

Yet Orrin defends the Catholic Church

Harry:

What does one have to do with the other. Go ahead and punish the priests.

You want Harry to kill the priests ?!?

That seems like a sensible solution, but diametrically opposed to the Catholic Church's official stance on the matter, said position being the cause of their downfall and continuing immorality.

Michael:

Yes, the killing's begun already, hasn't it? And most were quite thrilled.
