On December 16, 2011, protesters from SWOP, an acronym for Sex Workers Outreach Project, marched in front of the 1st District police station at 1718 South State Street.
In honor of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers - observed annually on December 17 - demonstrators showed up at the Near South Side police station to call attention to "police violence against sex workers and queer individuals".
I don't get what the fat guy's connection to the whores is.
ReplyDeleteNow that OWS is broken up, they gotta show off their fancy signs and slogans somewhere...
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't they at work?
Oh yea, some shithead pays them to do this crap...
Legalize prostitution! And legalize drugs, too.
ReplyDeletePeople are going to patronize prostitutes, and use drugs. That is a fact. Keeping those things illegal keep the violent Chicago gangs going - drugs & whores (along with weapons running) are their biggest businesses.
Just legalize, regulate, and tax these sins. I don't give a fuck who uses or doesn't use them, but I do know that it would result in safer conditions for the sex workers, as well as take away the two biggest profit centers for gangs. Cigarettes are legalized, I don't smoke & can't stand their smell, but I also know that people will do them and generate a ton of tax money in the meantime.
If someone wants to hurt himself by smoking, or doing drugs, or visiting whores, so be it - that's his problem, not mine. But keeping the latter two illegal just creates a black market economy where anything goes, including violent takeoveres of the competition.
