Update to "Community organizing at it's best"

In Community organizing at it's best , we saw secretly shot video of a sting in which a lawyer and small business consultant were helping a prostitute to buy a house to use as a brothel- with imported child sex slaves- and set up a money laundering scheme to funnel the money into a political campaign. As disgusting as it was, there are bad apples in any profession; it was just one office. But now it turns out it wasn't; footage has been released of the same sting working in a second office.

Forget for the moment that this was an ACORN office. Is this really how lawyers operate? Ok, I know that criminal defense attorneys defend the guilty; even the guilty deserve to have their rights defended. But this was before the fact. Why? It's not like they're getting rich doing it, not in a community organizer office- they act like it's a calling. Do lawyers lose their souls as a consequence of practicing law, or does the law attract the soulless?

Community organizing at it's best

Two "secret shoppers" go to ACORN to see if they really do help the little people navigate government bureaucracy and red tape to start a small business, and enter politics.
