Should people who make and enforce the law (politicians, judges, police) be subject to greater penalties when they break the law ?
The worst thing about this judge was that he presided over cases involved with child porn.
Personally, I think he should be put away for "the rest of his natural life, me lord".

Which probably wouldn't be long once the prisoners with kids got hold of him.

No, the law should treat everyone equally.

Chris, how dare you come into a debate like this with a reasonable opinion? there are people trying to be reactionary, you might put them off.

Man, don't get me of on this one. I am a very liberal type, but any thing to do do with abuse, rape, torture and abuse of human rights, these are just the worst crimes possible, I just can't get my head around how people can do these acts.
I think in the case of child abuse there seems to be a compulsive/obssesive element to it, like they are driven or some thing.
Not that this excuses it
