Kinda hesitant to share this. But I had a hergesh from a current event I wanted to unload. If someone thinks this crosses into lashon hara please lmk and I'll delete.

There was a headline about a yungerman in lakewood who asked was arrested and accused of propositioning a minor. And to be clear, I firmly believe he is totally innocent and they almost certainly came down hard on him out of anti-semitism. Word has it that the lakewood police department needs to be cleaned up. That being said.

I saw the articles saying things like, "an avreich, a father of eight, his kid in the backseat, and they think he would proposition a male teenager!?!? How ridiculous!!! Anti-semitism!!"
And it made me wanna cry. I think we all know around here that being in kollel, a father of eight, and, yes, even having a your toddler in the backseat doesn't mean much to someone sick with lust. 

The slippery slope is real. Internet porn may not end up with propositioning teenaged boys in a car wash. But it could, or at least, it could end somewhere just as bad. And the time to stop is now, because at some point it really is too late. I really don't want my rock bottom to be in the back of a police car. . .   

Which makes a wonderful opportunity to bring this gem back to the forefront
