are you serious? The children in question had their childhood ripped from them from someone they were supposed to trust and learn from and you compare it to the cancelling of a show that only people of a "lesser" intelligence can understand? Come on....really?

From a moral standpoint, I am inclined to agree, because there are many false accusations made against innocent people every day, but as a parent, there is an ire about this sort of thing that makes it hard to question the man's guilt. Would I take such action myself? No, absolutely not, but I cannot honestly say as I would shed a tear if I heard about it on the news.
Im Aware of this.
But id hardly call it a Victory of the Lawless - I used to Live near a Pedophile.
I never did anything - But the constant Drive-By Taunting, Rocks being put through his Windows, and Graffitti probably Annoyed Me as much as Him (Do People have to wait until 3am to Vandalise things?
Lawlessness is not Fun.
And if anyone did it, theyd be Penalized for it, Regardless of how Justified the Action is.
That said, the System is hardly Perfect.
If he were to get out Unscathed (In terms of being found Guilty or Not Guilty I mean), but it was known that he was Guilty (A Child Identifying him has yet to be Sufficient in Court from what ive seen. In this Country, anyway. Physical Evidence is needed), would it not be Harmful to allow him the Freedom to Act again?
But it isnt fitting in some places (Capitolising).A man living here in Detroit a couple years ago was murdered. He had his head cut off. Turns out, he was on the Sex Offender Registry. As such, he could not find a job, nor a place to live. He lived in his truck and did odd jobs for cash. He was lured to a garage on the promise of work doing some moving and he was killed and decapitated in a thrill kill by some teenagers who decided that society didn't need his kind of predator living amongst us, and they took it upon themselves to do a good deed for society.
Now To Clarify, If any Violent Vigilantism were to take Place, id consider Murder to be Unacceptable. Regardless of the Crime.
Beat Him Up? Sure. Ribs Heal. Bruises Heal.
But Kill Him? No Way.
Problem was, his 'sex crime' was having sex with his girlfriend when she was a few months younger than 18. They were a couple; but her parents objected and had him arrested on statutory rape charges. He pled guilty and was released on probation, but was a 'sex offender' for life. Ten years later, still living in his truck, no job, no home, no prospects of a future, some idiots cut his head off. Yeah, that helped society a whole bunch.
A bit Different to Pedophilia, but I get your Point.
The system is not perfect. But I'd be thrilled to see vigilantes in prison right alongside the people they decided to enforce their own person justice on.
And would you kindly stop capitalizing every word in a sentence? I realize you probably don't intend it, but it's vandalizing my brain this early in the morning.
It isnt EVERY Word
Better yet, have him casted in the Jersey Shore and we can just watch him claw his own eyes out and eventually kill himself. That way our hands are clean.
