#1 Pitifully sad. Even more sad is the fact that the men who support this activity are not arrested and horsewhipped.

#2 Judd added that he wanted to press charges against the web site, which has previously pledged to law enforcement agencies that it would crack down on ads promoting prostitution.

Of course Judd is posturing. He knows that local penny rags have 'personal' sections that do functionally the same thing and that any attempt to prosecute the web service would result in questions why such prosecutions weren't executed against those. Judd already knows the reason and why such costly efforts would fundamentally fail in the court system. Just ask the AG of South Carolina who's playing a similar game.

#3 That makes 28 more in the unemployment ranks.

#4 Probably no change in the overall numbers Richard. I suspect these 28 were already on the dole.

#5 The dole has been reformed with stringent requirements, with the gadabouts now forced to be "working girls". The real crime is usually tax evasion, although some actually do pay, filing as "independent contractors", "performing artists", "dancers", or "massage therapists". Going after the johns would be more fair, especially after the suicide of the DC madam over this kind of stuff. Legalizing it would be a better alternative.

#6 This will not do one thing to reduce prostitution. Those women will still be prostitutes tomorrow, craigs list or no craigs list.

Just legalize and tax it like just about every other western nation does. This idiocy of simply trying to hide it spreads disease, gets people hurt, and funnels money to the mob.

No civilization in history has ever gotten rid of prostitution.

#7 If only he would keep to having RAB encounters with scumbag Miami drug dealers (the officers shot him 40 some times because they ran out of bullets!). I think some of this is budget related. On our road someone from code enforcement went and gave violation notices to almost everyone. So this might be justify your budget time.
This is pretty much fish in a barrel stuff get a short term rental house near Disney and start calling hookers. Last time they did a reverse sting by placing ads on Craig's List and asked potential johns to e-mail them a photo to set up the date. Those guys weren't smiling.
