Oh I get it. So this stuff gets pushed on left wing spaces. Then the left wing adopts this ethos where they say "pedo hunters aren't good" then the right goes "oh you're all pedophiles" and then the divide is bigger
Poorly regulated pedo hunters that can end up ruining genuine law enforcement efforts at catching pedos aren't good.
Actually Leo don't do shit about pedophelia, because it usually involves powerful people, usually ends up being a pastor, priest of the church or one of their own, or a politician. Some sites online hide in plain site, with a format similar to r/pics if you dig deeper there's significant talk about commiting pedophelia acts, beastiality.

And then when it’s pointed out a bunch of mfs are gonna say. “Why are you AFRAID?? WhAt aN odd tHinG to sAy!! they’re only going after bad people!”
like shit brother. right on brother. Im sorry. I guess all those 1920’s lynch mobs were only going after criminals too then 🤷♂️. Matter of fact I bet no innocent people were hurt, and it wasn’t because of the color of their skin at all. Only criminals! /s

So Conservative Pedo apologists are going to be using this to hunt Lgbtq people and the current culture war of "this is child indoctrination" despite everyone knowing that's not how this works is open season pass.
Really makes me regret not arming myself two years ago
Great. Just dump anyone you dislike as a "pedophile" and then it's a free for all.
especially when you have people like elon musk calling people they don't like paedophiles and winning defamation suits over it by claiming he calls everyone paedophiles.

I’d make a guess they’re getting violent because the legal system can’t do anything with their compromised evidence. Instead of realizing they’re not the people qualified to do this work, they’re just doubling down and “handling it themselves.”
They're experiencing positive re-enforcement when they get violent with the people they've intrapped. They're getting more violent because they want more of the positive online feedback they've been getting.
There is no lofty thought process about justice.

Oh hey, it's "won't somebody please think of the children?" taken to the streets for internet clout! Absolutely nothing wrong can happen there! /s
Heh seems to me that these pedophile hunters are just violent hateful people who found a way to make their hate and violence appear righteous.
There should be no tolerance for vigilante justice in a civilized society.

A quick word to anyone seeing this and thinking "oh that's fine", look into the Snowtown Massacres". That's what it looks like when this kind of thing actually happens. Life isn't a Tarantino film, those who accomplish their aims violently are generally very dumb.
