I had to Google Trevor Bates...that's the difference, unfortunately.
When I did Google him, though, I found several articles and sources:

There is an unsubtantiated rumor/story floating around here that the Jupiter cops staged a bomb scare incident at the Parlor around a month ago. Cleared the place out but did not evacuate neighbors. 1 hour later bomb scare is called off and the place is open again. Hmmm. Cameras?

Haven't they already said they have video footage?
That was the point. Inference that those cameras were installed via subterfuge.

Is this any different than other police stings, though?

I remember after 9/11 when the government decided to start running ads that if you buy marijuana, you are funding terrorism.

I guess technically you are funding some form of narco terrorism if you're still buying Mexican dirt weed. The question is who's still buying Mexican dirt weed?
You'd think with all the commercial growers in the US, along with the personal supplies they're allowed to grow in some states that could supply dozens of people - that supply would outweigh demand by now and drive street prices way down, to the point where dirt weed was no longer necessary. Apparently not though. I watch enough Drug Wars on tv to see that the ultra-compresso brick weed is still the biggest thing being smuggled over.

Who is Trevor Bates?
These commercials were explicitly implying that you are funding the likes of Bin laden and all his cronies if you buy marijuana. Remember, this was 2001/2002 so legal, good pot was not everywhere like it is today. It just reminded me of how out of touch and full of crap the government is about these types of things. I would imagine if ANY weed is coming from the middle east, its probably less than 5% if not less than 1% of the weed in America. I'm not sure why they chose to target that. If they targeted opium, that might be kinda believable as even bin laden himself was caught in a compound surrounded by opium.
If I was a smuggler, I would send giant trucks of poopy, cheap to make dirt weed into the states too so that it distracts you from my shipments of heroin and cocaine that were right behind it.
The only way brick weed still makes any money is states that are still dry about marijuana laws. Even teenagers these days have chronic in the other states. Brick weed is nearly eliminated at this point.

Yeah I remember that. That was kind of silly.

A Black guy a racist brings to the conversation to "prove" the media is biased against white people.
Love it when people decry "leftists" for making everything about race show their blatant hypocrisy.

Ridiculous. If Bates was accused of supporting human trafficking it would be a story.

Point being:
1) Robert Kraft is one the most famous billionaires in the world thus automatically making his illegal activity newsworthy and noteworthy on a national scale.
2) Bates is just another guy nobody’s ever heard of. It’s a local matter of no national import outside of blogosphere partisans anecdotal “proof” of “hypocrisy.”

Anyone here want to further scoff at the seriousness of Kraft's contribution to that specific "massage parlor"?

I can’t go that far... He was charged with a misdemeanor. Maybe he had a larger role in the grand scheme but so far nothing has come to light.

There are two issues for me. One is the legality which appears to be a misdemeanors. Outside of that you can’t charge him with trafficking. It’s not like he was running the thing unless something comes to light.
The second issue is a moral one. There is absolutely no way he simply doesn’t have knowledge of what many of these girls go through and by paying he is supporting it.
That makes him a misdemeanor committing piece of crap.

Regarding the legality...I'm actually surprised they don't have some sort of a RICO statute, like organized crime...that way even low level contributors can be lumped in against the real big players.

Because lord knows what we need in prison are guys charged with misdemeanors. Let me put your assertion into context. Believing that Kraft and others who had solicited prostitution at these massage parlors should get as much prison time as the traffickers would be like sending the potheads who buy weed to prison because the guy they bought their weed from sold it to children.

If he had more of a part to play, they wouldn't have arrested him so quickly. The reasons why some here want him to get something more is that he's rich and that he owns the Patriots.
I don't see how a fully stocked fridge is a sad photo.
A sad photo is my empty fridge when I have the late night muchies.

Wasn't he the dude with the uncanny resemblance to Anthony Perkins who stabbed Vivian Leigh thru the shower curtain?
yeah I wasn't feeling that as, my office fridge is stuffed full of food and really means nothing except that we eat at work.
Well well well... Seems as though there is exactly zero evidence of trafficking or anyone being coerced in any way. I'm shocked!
