You're right. My appologies to dogs. The allusion I was going for was, "If you put out bait and get a bite, that's not entrapment."
While liberal on most things I am very conservative on entrapment. Whining because you got caught does not make it entrapment. If you want to catch Johns looking for a lay, put a cop on the street who looks like a hooker. If you want to catch a drug dealer, offer to buy some blow. If you want to catch politicians selling votes, rent a room, set up a camera and invite one over for an envelope full of marked bills.
These guys have already committed the crime of soliciting a minor over the internet. Their intent, explicit in their showing up is sufficient to indict them - similar to intent to commit murder in hiring a cop posing as a hit man. The precedent is clear - the evidence is clear. How in the hell could anyone have any sympathy for these tards?
