Not drawing a parallel between the respective evil acts, just pointing out a similarity in motive that I find disturbing. Blackmailing girls for porn is dark shit, not mischief you stumble into in the normal course of adolescence — PolitiTweet.org
StGeorgeStan @StGeorgeStan1
@ebruenig You make the guy sound like John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy.
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
Well, right — sort of my point. Using extortion or blackmail to obtain porn excites some people because it adds an element of personal violation that ordinary porn doesn’t necessarily confer. Also supplies the “hunting” experience many sexual sadists describe craving — PolitiTweet.org

I believe in redemption and responsibility; both are part of Christ’s message. Redemption is a process, because the evil you do doesn’t only harm others, it harms you. It takes time to make amends with victims and to reckon with and recover from self-inflicted moral injury — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig This is the exact opposite of Jesus's messages. Helping the poor, being humble, redemption, casting the first stone, etc.

Personally I think that’s somewhat different from forcing underage girls to produce pornography — PolitiTweet.org
‘Enforcer’ Wang @ImpossibleSlug
@ebruenig I heard this kid also picked his nose in front of everybody once back in 7th grade. SHould probably be executed
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
No, I’m not advocating that. I hope he has repented and believe Christ forgives those sins and others. — PolitiTweet.org
art fufkin @FufkinArt
@ebruenig Yes, so many irredeemable 14 year olds! I think Jesus would want us to shun him!
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
No, it’s not worse than that. However, I would understand if someone chose not to vote for a 19 year old who, at ~13, attempted or pulled off a school shooting — PolitiTweet.org

No. He’s 19, not 12, and I don’t think he should be prevented from gainful employment, but holding public office is not an ordinary job. I’m saying that I would agree with voters who, based on this info, have reservations about his character. — PolitiTweet.org

My understanding is that people into BDSM are only pretending to force/be forced, as to where blackmail/extortion are real acts of force — PolitiTweet.org
Casa de Mala Fama @casademalafama
@ebruenig So people into bdsm (“troubling impulses”) should be banned from politics?
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
I think one important thing being overlooked in the Coleman case is: guys don’t blackmail women for pornographic photos because there’s some shortage of porn online, they do it because forcing the women to obey arouses them. It’s not just a bad act, it bespeaks troubling impulses — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
Right, and I openly hate most politicians because they tend to be lying, power-hungry psychos. I think this behavior is basically in line with that description — PolitiTweet.org

@FufkinArt @ericlach Yes — PolitiTweet.org

yeah, and I stand by it. I don’t think it’s relevant to this Coleman case, but true at large — PolitiTweet.org
Lawrence Glickman @LarryGlickman
@thomaschattwill @davidrieff Didn't Liz Bruenig tweet this like 2 months ago?
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@ericlach I think public office is the catalyst for thinking about where the “line” is on considering wrong acts committed before adulthood, but the reality is that there is no “line.” Different cases differ. This one especially so! — PolitiTweet.org

@grizzlybizzly Used nude photos of underage girls to blackmail them into providing him with further explicit photos — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
I’m generally very pro-forgiveness, which is a murky process with many shades to it. But I think this guy hasn’t really demonstrated an understanding of the nature of what he did, which is a strike against his character as it stands now. — PolitiTweet.org
