How despicable were Jared Fogle's actions?

Jared deserves a brick to the head, as do all pedos.

I'm not going to defend what he did, but in some ways it seems to me he's getting a little more criticism than he deserves. The headlines all blast "Jared Fogle/Child Porn". Unless there is more to the story than what I have heard, he wasn't exactly into kiddie porn. He had a thing for 16 year old girls. That's pretty creepy for a guy his age. But in some states, including his home state of Indiana, that's actually legal.

Where Jared veered into dangerous territory was secretly videotaping the encounters, which is very illegal. He also traveled to states where the age of consent was higher. For example, some of the encounters apparently took place in New York, where the age of consent is 17.

Again, I'm not defending him, but it seems maybe a little unfair that the headlines keep saying "child porn", which implies something far more sinister.

Put him in a cell next to Jerry Sandusky with no way to communicate with each other than a glory hole. Naw, they'd probably enjoy that.

Had child porn, offered to pay to have sex with minors and had sex with minors. But, continue on with the political hackery.

Bill did all of it too.

I always thought there was a line liberals wouldn't cross. I guess I was wrong.

So what happens to your rant when I say he should be plowed under the jail?

You're the exception, not the rule.

That's what happens.

I did production stills for the media firm that shot all the national Subway commercials.
We were talking about Jared and the producer said that when they would bring h into location to shoot an ad spot, that as soon as production wrapped, Jared headed straight for any strip club he could find..... Every single time they shot with him.

Dude is basically a sex addict.

So, are you sayin' Jared was to fast foods as Wade Boggs was to baseball?

 

[Bob Pelini_]

Prove it.

Just google Bill on pedo island.

Being sexually attracted to middle schoolers shouldn't be a crime within itself. You can't help who or what your are sexually attracted to. Even talking about these desires shouldn't warrant this level of backlash. But Jared seems to have gone beyond this by trying to act on having sex with girls this age, which is a condemnable offense. He solicited sex and even tried setting up cameras in kids' bedrooms. That goes way beyond simple desire to have sex with young girls.

Lady who secretly taped him for FBI...

"He told me that he thought middle school girls were so hot," Herman said. "I was in shock ... I actually was questioning, 'Did I really just hear what I think I heard?' I looked over at my cameraman ... and he was just astounded," she said.

"I had two young children at the time, and he talked to me about installing hidden cameras in their rooms and asked me if I would choose which child I would like him to watch," she said.

He also told people he did have sex with children.

You made the claim. It's incumbent upon you to provide the evidence to support your assertions.

You're not very smart, are you?

I hope he meets Bogs Diamond in prison.
