K Mart And Pornography

BOYCOTT K MART, ONE OF THE LEADING RETAILERS OF PORNOGRAPHY IN AMERICA.

Kmart is one of the leading retailers of pornography in America. During

the past few years thousands of Americans have asked Kmart to get out of the

pornography business.

Before he was executed, convicted serial sex murderer Ted Bundy told Dr.

James Dobson: "Those of us who have been so much influenced by violence in the

media, particularly pornographic violence, are not some kind of inherent

monsters. We are your sons and we are your husbands. And we grew up in regular

families. And pornography can reach out and snatch a kid out of any house

today."

Sam, a little nine-year-old fourth grader, was walking home from school

in Norman, OK, when he was abducted and carried to a remote field. There he

had an eye gouged out and his genitals mutilated. Following the attack, police

asked merchants in Norman to pull the November/ December 1990 issue of Hustler

magazine from their shelves. The porn publication had a five-page section

headlined "How-To-Murder Manuals." The article told how to gouge out an eye

and how to mutilate the genitals. The attack imitated the article.

On August 6, 1990, the Dallas Morning News had an article which told of

a brutal molestation of two little girls, ages seven and ten. Their stepfather

had sexually used them in horribly inconceivable ways. According to the

official who investigated the abuse, "the seven-year old was forced to look at

pornographic magazines depicting a woman performing sex acts on herself with

tools, then act them out herself." A doctor later had to surgically remove

part of a tool which had broken off in the little girl.

A 1984 study released by the University of New Hampshire revealed that

states with the highest readership of pornographic magazines such as Playboy

and Hustler also had the highest rape rates.

According to columnist Jack Anderson, the Michigan State Police found

that pornography is used or imitated in 41% of the sex crimes they

investigate.

From July 1980 through February 1984, the police/ social work team of

the Louisville-Jefferson County, Kentucky Exploited & Missing Children Unit

prosecuted hundreds of adults for various crimes involving sexual exploitation

of children. According to John B. Rabun, Jr., Program Manager at the time,

over 40 major cases involved the successful prosecution of adults, each

involved with more than 12 children. (In one case, investigators estimated 320

victims of one adult.) At the time of arrest and/or service of search

warrants, all of these adult predators were found with various forms of adult

Pornography and in most cases child pornography.

Edna Buchanan, a staff writer for the Miami Herald, wrote an article

concerning the Pillow Case Rapist, a person who committed a number of rapes in

her area. Scientists at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, at the request

of Metro police, studied the rapes and prepared a five page psychological

profile of the rapist. Among the characteristics which the scientists listed

for the rapist was this one: "He collected Playboy, then Penthouse

magazines...and dreamed of rape. Then he slipped over the threshold of fantasy

into the reality of sexual assault."

"Pornography was not the only negative influence in my life but its

effect on me was devastating," said Arthur Gary Bishop. "I would do anything

or take any risk to fulfill my deviant desires. " Bishop said that if

pornography had not been available to him in his early stages, "...it is most

probable that my sexual activities would not have escalated to the degree they

did...I am a homosexual pedophile convicted of murder and pornography was a

determining factor in my downfall." Bishop was executed by the state of Utah

for the murder of several young boys.

Since 1986, more than 35,000 stores have discontinued selling

pornography. Yet, because of the tremendous profits from pornography, Kmart

refuses to get out of the pornography business. Kmart does not sell the

pornography in their Kmart stores, but in their Waldenbooks stores.

It is a known fact that child molesters use Kmart-type Pornography to

break down the inhibitions of children. Kmart has known this fact for some

time.

Write or call Kmart and let them know you are joining the boycott. The

address: Chrm. Joseph Antonini, Kmart Corporation, 3100 West Big Beaver Road,

Troy, MI 48084. (The toll-free customer service number is 1-800-63 Kmart.)

Kmart owns Waldenbooks, Pay Less Drug Stores, Office Square, Bargain Harold's,

Builders Square home supply stores, Sports Authority and PACE Membership

Warehouse stores.

You are urged to let your local Kmart manager know, in a polite way,

that you are joining the boycott and encouraging others to do the same. You

will probably be told that Kmart has nothing to do with Waldenbooks. However,

Kmart owns Waldenbooks and has the authority to tell Waldenbooks to get out of

the pornography business at any time.
