I'm not sure I get your point. Are you saying that being glad that would-be child rapers are arrested and shamed is the same as being excited about them killing themselves? That sounds like what you're saying, but I'm not sure.

Just to clear things up, being glad that would-be child rapers are arrested and shamed is not the same as being excited about them killing themselves. Hope that helps.

Personally, I would rather read an actual conflicting opinion than see a strawman set up and knocked down, but do what you like.

I assumed it was a reference to this.

The only thing that I dislike about these shows is the fact they dont shoot these dudes in the back of the head when they show up.
These shows are fantastic in every way.
These shows may keep a few of these types from picking up kids to fuck on the internet, after seeing them they might be too scared to go thru with it. That means a few less kids on this planet will be molested that day. For that fact I give them the biggest not crap ever.
The rights of child molesters is the last thing I am worried about the cops violating.

That thought crossed my mind, but for one, nobody handed him the loaded gun, and for two, I didn't whoop and hi-five anyone when he shot himself, and for three, I don't think he shot himself on camera. Could be wrong on the last one. Also four, he wasn't "captured."

He chose to make a date with a thirteen-year-old boy. He chose not to show up (good choice). The police investigated, which makes sense to me. He then chose to shoot himself. So the people who run these stings (and people like me who approve of them) are supposed to feel guilty about the choices this guy made? Screw that. Feel bad maybe, in the whole "every man's death diminishes me" sense, but sure not guilty.

The other complaints in the article are fair ones.

To me, it seems a simple issue:

Do whatever you want with a consenting adult. Leave the kids, animals, and mentally impaired alone.

If you deal outside of those boundaries, you should be separated from society.

I know, too simple, but one can only wish.

A bullet to the head is a post-pubescent blowjob compared to the fate that awaits these guys in prison.

For eight hours.
