The big question to me is why in the world would someone producing that kind of material hide it in a public place like that?
I also cant believe so many 4chan retards suggest he should have just burnt it and go on with his life. There might still be kids suffering at the moment or in the future in relation to this, so how can one possibly ignore it ? That feeling of not having atleast tried something to help would haunt me.
I think you are missing the point. Which is that there is risk involved in a situation where not only should there be no risk, but this guy should be praised for his honesty.
The justice system, and the police bureaucracy is working against it's citizens. Something it was designed against from it's inception, so the only fucking reason things are the way they are is corruption and greed. Maybe a privatized prison industry isn't a good idea. Maybe, the bureaucracy is the problem, and that is the issue you should be concerned with.
