So, if you know my predilection in political and social issues, then I think you know how I stand on this issue.
What do you think? I have been half way following this saga as I have a cousin who is in law enforcement in this Ohio town. He thinks its damn silly. He also tells me that after investigation there is NO evidence of forced prostitution or human trafficking. Americans just don't get the asian perspective on non-commitment sex.
Interestingly, there is one parlor in the city that has no asians but white and black women, they have not been touched and the asian spa owners are considering a suit on racial grounds. Well, they do say asians are more industrious at every money making scheme. Is this just a new take on the 1970's and 80's "rice burner smashings?" (when american car workers would destroy japanese better made cars)
Warren is a dump. A prime example of "rust belt" town. These parlors were probably some of the single highest tax payers in the city. The city has a huge street walker and drug problem. All girls taken on the raid were drug tested and std tested by law enforcement (that is, with tax money) and all came up clean. In the end, no arrests were made of either customers or workers, but 10 of the 12 shops closed and went elsewhere. The two remain opened and now pay higher license fees. The last link shows how the city is saving face (they need the cash!) by "reworking" the codes.

the women in this video are some real "crotch" crusaders and fit the bill of "uptight". They use newspaper and web ads that show "scantily clad asian women" as evidence of misconduct. However, as my cousin pointed out to me. these are stock photos and not the women in the parlors. One sight even used pics of Grace Park (BSG's Athena, #8) from her MAXIM appearance)

I know that some of you in other countries will just say "wtf is wrong with americans" as some of you have totally legal and regulated Nevada style prostitution. But what do you think of this case?
thx
