      Yet another case of… if you do it a little you get the book, if you do it a lot you get a slap on the wrist.

      I distinctly remember other cases where EVERY image/video got a separate charge…

      A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his actions on Jan. 6 has been sentenced for possessing more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos discovered in connection with his Capitol riot case.

      100,000 charges doesn’t seem to add up to 4 years in any way.

      Federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo in the child pornography case that, in addition to the child sex abuse material, Tocci’s laptop "contained extremely disturbing images of violent acts, such as a cat being killed by being put in a blender, a male shooting a female in the head, a dog being beaten to death, and severed heads and limbs, as well as images and videos of bestiality.”

      Feels like that should have factored into sentencing as well. Although now as I think of it… all of that is just a regular day on the old 4chan. Although saving them for later is definitely excessive.

        Jfc. There is nothing that makes my blood boil more than torture of innocent animals and children.

        I’ve also seen local no-name pedos get 20+ years for less than 20 images/charges. Seriously, why do economy-sized buckets of horror net a discount on justice? Fucking disgraceful.

        Justice would be this dude taking a trip through a blender. At the very least, 25 to life.
