    Well I'm sure we're going to see a drop in the murder rate because of this.

    Yeah, that will solve the problem! Drive people further into the underground so the real vermin can prey on them.

    A pragmatic solution instead of posturing would be more welcome.

    A "what" solution to the world's oldest profession and one of its oldest crimes? Would it be better that the vermin prey on people above ground so that those you know and love are victimized? Scrubbing Craigslist will not end this kind of murder, but since a pragmatic solution is not easily at hand (do you have one?) disrupting one avenue of finding victims may save a life or three it worth the effort.

    Not if it ends 10 lives while saving three it isn't.

    Would it be better that the vermin prey on people above ground so that those you know and love are victimized?

    Uh, no. It would be better if everything were happening above ground so that we could see it and thus prevent the vermin from doing their preying.

    A "what" solution to the world's oldest profession and one of its oldest crimes?

    You have just engaged in a very misleading game of mix and match. This was not about stamping out prostitution but rather about what, if any, effect cracking down on craigslist will prevent murder. And I think ca1ic0cat was hinting at the question, will the crackdwon cause more problems than it solves?
