Today is January 1 2024.
In the early hours of this new year after months of work and coordination between the US Marshalls, the RCMP, The States of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa, plus hundreds of volunteer hours from men and women with strong stomachs and a desire to see evil punished, an international organization of drug and sex traffickers was taken down in multiple cities including Toronto Canada, Duluth Minnesota, Sioux Falls, and Des Moine Iowa, fifty-four men and women were quietly taken out by law enforcement, over a million dollars in drugs were seized, and a massive network of child pornography and exploitation file sharing was captured exposing hundreds of people who had interacted with these sites and file transfers, giving the federal government over a thousand IP addresses, user names, financial data, and other personal information. Information that will lead to hours of carefully handled interactions by volunteers and law enforcement, may lead to more arrests and the rescue of more victims of trafficking around the world.
I am proud for the role I played in this mission, knowing that evil has been stopped makes hours of checking social media accounts, genital pictures, lewd offers, and a whole host of things that make me rather ill, seem worth it.
So while the rest of the world tries to ignore the evil just down the road, I and the rest of the gang will work hard to lure evil monsters to their doom, and take a brief moment of joy when we are victorious and a small child that was sitting in darkness praying for heavenly angels to bring them out of darkness, instead get monsters who rip down the doors of these lairs of evil, and do righteous battle on their behalf, because we don’t fight monsters with words and good vibes, we grab it by the throat and show it what if feels like to be afraid.
