The 14-year-old boy did not exist. From the information provided, we don't know that he was a predator--although with that attitude he probably would have become one sooner or later.

I thought only the police and the FBI were allowed to entrap people.

If they’re not actually attacking the perps, then they’re not vigilantes.

No prob with this. The concern that evidence isn’t good enough for trial is besides the point. Without what they did there would be no evidence at all so can only be a plus.

And since many may beat the rap in court, the “shaming” exercise will at least get some result.

“No, he did one last wrong thing. But you already knew that, and I ought to keep my promise and leave it with God.”

Wrong! What did Jesus say about offending “one of these little ones,”? Hmmm?

I disagree - this is an article setting the stage for pedophilia acceptance and equating these guys to religious police.

After reading comments on the author's Twitter page, I can't disagree.

Often, there is an attitude of "look away" when it comes to the practice of grown gay adult men "grooming" underage boys, a practice that is well-known within the gay community even if not discussed outside of it (unless we are talking about Catholic priests or prominent conservatives).

Milo Y. talked about it, said it is commonplace. Even George Takei is quoted on record wistfully describing being molested at age 13 by an adult camp counselor.

The attitude among the Left seems to be "We know it happens. We're OK with it. Let it go. Don't investigate. Go chase after hetero pedos."

We do need a revival, and that would fix a lot of our issues.

In the meantime, while I don’t think I should be out baiting predators, if I know of or find something or come across something on my own, it will be dealt with. Jesus said to love my neighbors, so that means I don’t let the wolves tear at the sheep.

You spew a lot of alleged doctrine not in God's word.
God does not issues a step by step manual for every issue of life.

You permanently lost me when you asserted outright that when you had an incident where children were sexually assaulted that everyone must focus on the poor predator rather than the victims. Do you not remember your postings during the Josh Duggar incident?

That incident and your castigation of those who empathized with the little girls defines you on this issue. You went there, and that is who and what you are.

So don't attempt to set yourself up as a credible anything regarding this issue.

This particular POPSQUAD highlighted in the article has busted multiple persons in my area. 2 of which are in my immediate neighborhood. One, I already knew of, due to the sex offender list. He has a lengthy history and violates parole consistently, aka, re-offender. CT just puts him back out on the street after a short amount of time. This past time was less than a year after being busted by POPSQUAD. He has just been re-released within the past couple of months.

The 2nd, has NEVER been busted, and if he has, must have went through the AR program, as nothing is found in the online court system. He used to walk my street daily. I can see his backyard from my front window. He was employed in our public school system as a substitute. I never would have known about him without POPSQUAD.

I still do not know if the POPSQUAD information has resulted in an arrest or his firing from the Public Schools. I do know I do not see him or his vehicle in the neighborhood anymore.

I am very greatful to POPSQUAD.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for this perv? That seems to be what the article wants.

One less perv in the world.

Even when police don’t get involved, the predator hunters and their loyal followers are ready to exact their own form of justice on social media, making sure that the alleged predator’s video is seen by his family, friends and employers.

As long as they do not violate the law I have no problem with this.

The system works !

Facebook is probably really, really upset to see it’s service used like this. You know, to help people.

Facebook would much rather the man get his child to rape.

““It’s not easy to be black, Jamaican, a Jehovah’s Witness and gay in Torrington, Connecticut,” “

False. It’s easy to be all of those things in Torrington CT.

Well, gay jehovah’s witnesses who try to rape 15 year old boys is sorta tough to pull off. But no need to worry now !

NBC with their moral relativism and situational ethics wants us to sympathize with the child predator!

A pedophile was outed and hanged himself. Other than “so what” I can’t seem to get much emotion going here (other than one less sexual predator for kids to worry about) in spite of the hagiographic tone of the article

Normalizing pedophilia is already underway.

Alternative headline:
Adult pedophile didn't get to molest a 14 year old boy, nor will he in the future.

>>POPSquad is one of dozens of similar online groups across the country unified by what they say is a mission to expose and shame people they allege are or could become sexual predators, according to an NBC News review of these groups on Facebook. The idea isn’t new — the NBC News “Dateline” show mined the same territory in its special series, “To Catch a Predator,” from 2004 to 2007.

But when you do this to Planned Parenthood or ACORN or... RINOs and Commies will charge you with assorted “laws”.

Do these programs ever target women aged 24-45 who prey on young boys?

Or does the NEA union say that is unfair?
