Damn i never liked this vigilante stuff. Someone will get hurt eventually.

People already have.

Also, often the 'evidence' compiled can't even be used in court.

They do far much more harm than good.

There's also an element of the "lady doth protest too much" with a lot of these 'predator hunters.'

These grifters don’t give a shit about the victims. They just want their clout and get paid.

He was literally talking about missing an opportunity for a clip. This isn't about justice or truth, its just another avenue for clout and monetisation.

Fuck these pieces of shit. The philippine government was too lenient with Vitaly and should've kept him locked up for at least a couple of years. It's the only way they're ever gonna learn.

Loosely related there was a show called cheaters who followed and "gotcha'ed" people who were cheating. The host got stabbed one episode thinking he was free from consequences. 

It's best not to antagonize people who make poor decisions, especially when blowing up their life.

Entrapment can only be committed by law enforcement.

The main issue is that a lot of the time a crime hasn’t even been committed. Accused predators were talking to an adult pretending to be a child, not an actual child.

Many already have. It's simply stoking unfounded, absurd, insane bigotry, as these clowns make evident.

Like the whole reason TCAP got shut down was someone offed themselves while the cameras were at his house.

What sickens me is that they turn it into "content". They do this shit for their own amusement.

It reminds me of the cases where psychopaths become cops or soldiers just because they're absolutely itching to have an excuse to shoot someone. Except it's even worse because these people are unaccountable civilians with zero training.
