As I wrote last week for Real Good Oil, there is a disturbing current of pro-paedophilia activism running through the contemporary left. Not just on the fringes, either, but within the Democrat party itself. During the first term of President Donald Trump, a slew of leaders in the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ were exposed as convicted or self-confessed child molesters. As the Democrats slide into the far-left abyss during the second Trump term, the rock spiders are waiting to greet them.
If you thought the multiple assassination attempts and ever-escalating violent rhetoric and actions of the Democrats were bad enough, there’s plenty worse lurking in the shadows of the party.
Plenty worse.
Carl Sprayberry is a Democrat who ran for election to the Georgia House of Representatives. He lost in a landslide to Republican Carmen Rice. Sprayberry is not what you’d call a ‘moderate’: He repeatedly tweeted calls for the assassination of Donald Trump. “It’s time to kill Trump. This is why the Second Amendment exists,” was one of his least extreme social media posts. He also called for the bombing of Mar-a-Lago.
When campaigning against Rice, Sprayberry called his Republican opponent an “extremist who is out of touch with Americans” and characterized her pro-life views as “morally repugnant.”
“Morally repugnant”, he says?
Georgia authorities arrested 19 men over the course of a four-day sting operation aimed at flushing out sexual predators keen to molest and/or traffic children […]
Undercover investigators posing as children engaged in conversation with various suspects on social media, dating websites, and other online platforms. In a number of exchanges, suspects allegedly “directed conversations with the child toward sex.”
According to the GBI, 35 cases were established that met the threshold for arrest on the basis of the investigators’ interactions online. However, in the 19 cases that ultimately resulted in arrests, suspects attempted to meet the “child” in person.
In some of these cases, suspects provided authorities additional cause to make an arrest, allegedly sharing pornography and other obscene content to the individual they figured for a child or asking the “child” to produce and send child pornography.
One of those arrested was… drumroll… Carl Sprayberry.
Now, that’s what most of us would call “morally repugnant”.
Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman said during a press conference on Wednesday, “It takes a sick individual to want to take away a right that a child has and the freedom and the safety and the comfort that a child has to bring harm to these children.”
“There were no children at harm at all in this,” said Brian Johnston, GBI special agent in charge. “Had we not been there as law enforcement working in an undercover capacity, these very same perpetrators that were arrested would have been talking to our children in our community and they would have been talking about sexual acts and meeting up for sexual acts and exchanging pornography.”
The case stands as yet another warning to parents letting their children use online devices unsupervised.
“I want to make a plea with parents to closely monitor your children to ensure they are not communicating with these individuals,” said Countryman. “These predators will travel from near and far to victimize your children. We take these crimes against children very seriously. It will be our focus to find these predators so they may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Best keep a sharp eye on the next Democratic convention, then. That is, when you’re done making mass arrests at Hollywood awards nights.
