The figure emerged in a Home Office study aimed at helping lawmakers deal with the world’s oldest profession.

Let me revise that for you:

The figure emerged in a Home Office study aimed at reducing men’s criminal exploitation of women for sex.

There, that’s better. It is just so weird that conversations about prostitution never seem to mention men. Prostitution wouldn’t exist without johns.

Nisour Square massacre. 17 unarmed citizens, including 9 year old Ali Kinani, were murdered by Blackwater (Xe) employees. All charges for 5 of the men who self-admitted to being the group responsible for the shooting have been dropped. A sixth plead guilty to manslaughter and informed on the other five. That did not affect the dropping of the charges.

The men whose charged were dropped are: Donald Ball, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty, Nick Slatten and Paul Slough. The man who plead guilty is Jeremy Ridgeway

Below is a beautiful video about Ali Kinani’s father’s quest to find justice.

From the film, Mohammed, Ali’s father, speaks about what happens after the Blackwater employees leave:

I opened the [car] door to see if [Ali] was okay. I opened the door and he started falling out. I stood there in shock, watching him as the door opened, and his brain fell to the ground between my feet.”
