What are your thoughts on ...

[Sombrero]

I'm with Joe on this one, maybe its the neanderthal in me coming out, I would have no qualms what-so-ever in using my baseball bat.

Which is the whole point. Most of us on here feel the same way about these scum but the law of the land is prevents us doing this, this in turn is what makes us civilised.

You're missing the point Pred.... if any of us walked in on a bloke pinning our daughter down as she screamed, we would ALL kill the man or be killed...

You're letting your macho side take over you in a pretty usual debate..

We all have that caveman which makes us get cross when you hold open a door and don't get a thanks, or you get a driver pull out in front of you at a junction.. but we should all be tamed by our upbringing and our laws.. so as much as you want to "****" the guy that pushes in front of you at the bar... you know you can't.

Sorry Conny but I have a young granddaughter and if something happened to her "civilised" goes out the window.

I agree Pred, I have one aged 7 and one turned 5 yesterday, and like any normal man would lay my life on the line for them. However, this thread is about condoning groups who go out to positively hunt these people in an attempt to bring them to justice. The danger is that these type of groups often attract numbskulls that just want to hurt someone.

Must admit, Letzgohunting, are doing a valuable service. Police and CEOP's don't seem to be doing much (but may well be behind the scenes without the publicity)
Whilst this group continue to expose predatory paedophiles, they should be encouraged. I suppose the way they go about finding these online paedo's is a form of entrapment, but the police are allowed to use entrapment methods to catch crims, why should this group be any different?
Sterling work exposing these unsavoury people. They have my blessing to carry on.

Ok you're happy with people stepping outside our law to "fix" things? what if your brother was wrongly labelled a Pedo? And got his arzed kicked and rammed with a cucumber and the whole thing was put on-line?

Or what if you forgot to pay a parking fine, and the vigilante mob (getting paid a percentage) decided to burst into your house whilst you were having tea with your kids and demand £200 or you got taken outside and had the sh1t3 beaten out of you?

I agree with your sentiment, but your methods are wring - IMO !

 

[conny]

Police are NOT allowed to use entrapment. In cases where it has been suggested they did the case usually collapses.

Thank you gentlemen for a reasonable debate without the usual idiots throwing the pennyworth in. Maybe we can continue in this vein tomorrow.
Now its bedtime for me.
Goodnight.

is it true that a bunch of vigilante thugs attacked a person because they were a paediatrician?

 

[pred]

The fact is we are all different, some people can talk the hind legs off a donkey, others are more your doers.

If you want to sit and wait for the British justice system to run its coarse that is your perogative, I prefer the quick results personally.

Yes it happened a few years ago.

 

[JohnD]

best keep a lid on them then.

Tell that to them then conny (in fact CEOPS use very similar methods as Letz go Hunting use).

And why shouldn't they? after all the police answer to the IPCC and everyone else, whereas your thugs answer to no-one !

 

[jockscott]

Thing is Somby, CEOPS, do use very similar methods. I've not heard of Letz go Hunting, going round someone's house and ramming a cucumber anywhere. Perhaps it's others who have done this? (vigilantes who have seen their reports on Facebook??) Perhaps the police should monitor LGH's Facebook wall and get in there first and arrest the paedos?
You tell me who's not doing their job properly?

Statistically there are more paedos working as doctors than any other profession. Flies around a honey pot.

I always thought scout masters were suspect!

Anywhere kids are in contact with adults attracts paedos. Naked children? Pediatricians should all be women.
