    I am a little dismayed that the world’s awareness of sex-trafficking and systemic child abuse seem to begin and end with Epstein.

    Does everyone think that this kind of vile luxury for the wealthy was centered around ONE person? There are billions of people on Earth, it’s not only still going on, but the ringleaders are celebrating that the world’s attention is on just one dude who was caught and killed for it.

      Well it’s sort of hard to obsess over cases we don’t know about. What do you want from people, self-funded investigations?

      If you have evidence then obviously you know what to do with it. When it comes out people can talk about that case too otherwise I don’t really know what you want.

        Absolutely, something nobody talks about, is the sad reality that there are a lot of people out there with money and power who still seek such “services” and are willing to make men rich to get it. Of course someone moved into that role and took over operations.

        And as much as I would like to see these people hunted down and lowered slowly into an active volcano, I much rather see countries start going after their wealthy monsters who make these industries possible.

        Allowing a select few members of society to become unfathomably wealthy is one of those things we’ll look back at one day like we look back at bloodletting and burning witches.

      I think people are obsessing over this case because a bunch of rich and powerful people got publicly exposed as a part of the same ring, but there’s certainly way more out there. I’m sure a bunch other politicians, billionaires, clergymen, celebrities, and a whole host of other people with influence has their own rings all over the world.
