Tennessee lawmaker says pornography is a ‘root cause’ of school shootings

POSTED 9:10 AM, MAY 30, 2018, BY TRIBUNE MEDIA WIRE, UPDATED AT 10:09AM, MAY 30, 2018

Republican Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee recently cited pornography, along with the deterioration of the family and violent movies, as a contributing factor to gun violence in schools.

Black made the remarks during a listening session with local pastors last week, according to audio obtained by HuffPost and posted Tuesday.

“Why do we see kids being so violent? What’s out there? What makes them do that?” Black said. “Because, as a nurse, I go back to the root cause. And I think it’s a couple of things,” Black said, listing off the deterioration of the family and violent movies, before mentioning pornography.

“Pornography. It’s available. It’s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there’s pornography there,” Black says in the audio. “All of this is available without parental guidance.”

She adds, “And I think that’s a big part of the root cause, that we see so many young people who have mental illness get caught in these places.”

In the audio, Black does not detail what it is about pornography that she believes contributes to school shootings.

“I think the context is pretty clear,” Black’s campaign spokesman Chris Hartline told CNN Tuesday. “Diane believes the breakdown of families and communities plays a significant role in instances of school violence.”

Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts criticized Black’s comments, writing on Twitter that “despite all of the data and exerts at her disposal, (Black) chooses to blame ‘grocery store pornography’ for school shootings. And she doesn’t mean the magazines that glorify guns.”‘

    Update

    Pima County Deputies say they have arrested a man who posted a series of viral videos about child sex trafficking in Tucson.

    Deputies say Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer was arrested Sunday on felony trespassing charges.

    Officials say the charges, center around a video that shows Meyer and others searching through a house in Pima County.

    "Detectives were able to develop probably cause for the criminal first degree trespassing through videos that were actually posted onto social media, so that proved to be very helpful in making that arrest," said Marissa Hernandez with the Pima County Sheriff's Department

    Deputies say the owner of the home saw the video and called authorities.

    News 4 Tucson wasn't able to speak with Meyer.

    However, Meyer posted a statement on facebook saying "I won't go into the obvious obstruction tactics now being deployed by a coward Sheriff and obviously corrupt Mayor. Nor will I stop doing what they don't want me to do."

    Deputies say they started investigating Meyer in early June and were getting ready to request a warrant for him when they found him while responding to an unrelated call.

    Earlier this year Meyer posted a series of videos claiming he found a child sex camp in Tucson.

    Tucson police investigated Meyer's claims, but ultimately found no evidence supporting them.

    Deputies say Meyer is being looked at in connection with several other open investigations.

    "The Sheriff's Department is currently looking at other things and complaints that we have received in regards to Veterans on Patrol at this time," said Hernandez.
