No quarter where young children are involved.

If you read what he did (he's only pleading out on a few charges but there could have been dozens had he gone to trial) I favor handing him over to ISIS.

From the sounds of it, I agree with you that there would have been dozens given his penchant for wanting to set up "parties." I don't know how the woman handled it once he started asking about her own small kids. It made me rather angry at her.

...and pretty soon after Fogle starts speaking and expressing his enthusiasm for his acts, I couldn't take any more. This guy needs 50 years. This is a guy you don't put back out on the streets.

I figured it was more like the FBI or the NSA.
