I just wish they would fuck off with the live streaming, and just catch them and take them to the police. Everybody is happy then(except the perv). I suppose the hunters wouldn't get their "likes" and "retweets" that they crave though...

I've seen a few of these and they come across as a shit Brass Eye episode by chasing them down and getting all their shit in for the camera. I often wonder if they actually care about protecting kids to be honest.

Can people just stop getting tested? You do realise you are adding to the problem and taking us into a 2nd phase lockdown? YOU are giving the government the number of cases and the powers to take us into a winter lockdown? Just stop the testing and this will disappear overnight .... If you are well enough to get yourself to a testing centre then your absolutely fine, stay at home for 2 weeks just to be safe, eat well, take your vitamins and then crack on! You don't need to wear a positive covid test like a badge of honour for absolute no reason do you?? You think spring/summer lockdown was bad? Wait until its dark more than it's light, no garden to enjoy because its cold and rainy, no festivities to look forward to, no Christmas markets or shopping, no taking the kids to see Father Christmas? Plus your standard normal winter illnesses to throw in the mix!! More people will die of suicide than EVER before, our mental health service was underfunded before covid yet the Nightingales are empty! Our elderly will die sooner than they should because they will be restricted on the usual things that keep them sane, like community groups? We need social interaction to thrive and stay healthy and I dont need a paid off scientist to do research to tell me that !!! Turn off your TV, ignore the propaganda, THINK FOR YOURSELVES ... End this now!!!!!

We're not fighting a losing battle with a mutant super virus, we're losing a battle with common sense.

Stop testing and it will go away? Is that how it works? Maybe we should stop AIDS testing too, so that it can also cease to exist.

It's a link to a Sky News report.

Yeah. I regularly see this on Facebook.

“Oh, look! Left-wing media are all hush-hush about [insert topic]!”

Quick search finds articles on topic on BBC, Guardian, Independent, etc.

“Yeah, not front page though, is it?”

there's a self-styled nonce hunter in Jersey who gets nominated for all kinds of local hero awards, runs a "Name & Shame" Facebook group, and gets all kinds of glowing write-ups in the press, with really only lip service paid to the point that she's working outside the law and acting on minimal evidence. To criticise her is seen as tantamount to being a nonce sympathiser, but she's always struck me as a genuinely nasty piece of work.

I saw her in town recently, and she's got a tattoo of Joe Exotic, who definitely isn't at the very least nonce-adjacent.

Nearly everyone I've seen that does this sort of thing seem to have a nasty streak and seem to want an excuse to get violent. I've been watching the 24 Hours in Police Custody series recently, and there is an episode where one of these groups pose as a 13 year old and set up a meet with an old bloke. Now, the nonce is a complete cunt who deserves to go down for a long time, but because they live streamed it and hadn't told the police until he turned up, dozens and dozens of locals recognised the car park and descended on it, and proceeded to kick the shit out of him.

Some might say he more than deserved it, but all it did was put him in hospital meaning the police couldn't interview him, then had to pay to put him p in a hotel for his own safety. I think he eventually got a few years, but it was a long time after the incident, in which he could have met and abused any number of kids. The copper also mentioned they had a number of "nailed on" prosecutions fall through due the nature of these groups. 

There must be a middle ground where these groups can work with the police by passing all the details of the meet to the police to confront and arrest the suspect?

Then they wouldn’t get the likes.

Exactly right...

[Keith Houchen 18,392]

Yep. Nothing worse than someone who is so insecure they need likes on the internet from strangers.

I gave up any sort of support for them when one (which I think may have been Stinson Hunter) decided to stitch up a guy that wasn't interested.

A regular tactic was to introduce the "victim" as being of legal age, and then have them reveal their supposedly true age later and see if they were still interested. In this incident, their target was sitting in a cafe waiting to meet up when they sent a text message saying something like "By the way, I'm not 19, I'm only 14. Is this a problem?". The guy said no thanks and went to leave, but as Stinson and camera crew were outside the cafe, they followed him while shouting to the world about how they had proof that he was there to meet a girl for sex that he knew was 14.

Absolute cunt move.

Here on the Island a group of hunters from the mainland "caught" a young woman who had been talking to a 13yr old girl if I recall her age correctly. 

Turns out this young woman had learning disabilities and was just looking for a friend. 

[wordsfromlee 3,391]

“We’re doing this because the police won’t”. Oh right, didn’t realise you had such a working knowledge of ongoing police investigations. It takes a bit more than just pretending to be a 13 year old girl in the internet once. 
 

It’s like getting Pablo Escobar to sell you an eighth of weed and going “ ha! Got you! We just did what the police have been failing to do for years!”  
The thing that gets me is that shaming in the internet is the only power they have. When they do one of their ‘stings’, there’s nothing to stop the person - who’s realised they’ve been rumbled - going home destroying all their computers and hard drives before the cops turn up. Undoing how much surveillance working they’ve been building up to get the heftiest charge possible on the person when they do arrest them.

I'm uncomfortable with those groups too. Worse though are the folk who stream protests to get accused/convicted paedophiles moved from the area. There's been loads of that round here recently, including one where the accused was completely innocent. Because the guy streaming was more concerned with views and shares than whether the guy had actually done anything.

It must be horrible for the Police. They can't force people to leave their homes, especially if they haven't even been charged, or have served their time. They end up just taking the cunt away until everyone fucks off and then bringing them back again. That leads to accusations that they are "protecting the beasts!!"

It's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt and all those groups get banned, which would be a shame, because if they'd just work with the Police rather than against them, they'd be a great thing.

Wasn't there a run of naming people in a leading newspaper (I forget which) that ended quickly and quietly after someone's house got set on fire because thier name was similar to a name printed and people got confused?

Jesus that's absolutely heartbreaking. 

From my understanding there are some groups that work directly with the police and don't publicize the work that they do. It's the ones that are public facing that name and shame which are the ones using dubious methods and tactics. And because they don't have legal training often the good work that they do do isn't actually usable in court.
