Samilktray Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 Did anybody watch this the other night. Some truly despicable men about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleronnie Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 Yes it was pretty compelling viewing as well as pretty disturbing, and I'm not just talking about his clothes. Not really sure how I feel about his actions TBH. It's already led to him being injured, and a suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzell Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 Yeah I watched it. Was very disturbing tbh. Fair play to the lad for doing it though because what he does actually works. The sooner these sad acts are off the street, the better. Thing is though is that they will always be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voll Blau Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 The work they're doing is well-intentioned and they can't possibly know the consequences their actions have, but posting it on a blog is a step too far. Not all their work has led to convictions, so their evidence gathering isn't as sound in all cases as they think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinhio Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 From what I understand there has only been a handful of cases where their work has led to convictions. What they are doing is potentially extremely dangerous not only for the offenders but also for their families who most like hate what has happened just as much as the next person. Nethertheless it does make you think the police need more funding as it is quite clearly very easy to catch people up to no good on the net.

bovril Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 As the last two posts said, putting it on social media is very dangerous. Could easily lead to mistaken identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted 2 October 2014 Share Posted 2 October 2014 I think we'll see more of this type of stuff. I feel sorry for the police as they often get an impossible job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakman Posted 3 October 2014 Share Posted 3 October 2014 Something not quite right about the bloke, wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be the same sort of person that he hunts. I think he secretly gets a kick out of the interactions online and has hid this by becoming a moral crusader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 3 October 2014 Share Posted 3 October 2014 Doing a good job in my opinion, the only disturbing aspect aside from the peado's themselves was the wife of the guy who commited suicide trying to pin the blame on Stinson Hunter and his associates, if you commit a crime of that nature people will know about it regardless of the way you are caught.

I think he secretly gets a kick out of the interactions online and has hid this by becoming a moral crusader. I haven't seen it but I do always wonder why you get these folk who are so keen to immerse themselves in a world that frankly I think most of us would rather avoid, and as I've said before, if you try to trap paedophiles online by pretending to be a child, what's to stop the person you're trapping saying that they were doing the same to you? They probably use some measure of how shocked and disappointed the other person looks when they meet up behind Iceland or wherever. I'm sure he's just got the kids' best interests at heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted 3 October 2014 Share Posted 3 October 2014 I think he does it for the publicity, he's basically admitted he's a loser with his own mental health issues and it gives him a life. Having watched the program it's hard to have too much sympathy with the people he catches although it's a bit of a trap I don't think they have much excuse.

Vicki Vixen Posted 3 October 2014 Share Posted 3 October 2014 Strongly hinted he was abused as a child. I'm sure that's a big part of his motivation. I'm not sure about his cronies though, can't see what's in it for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilo Posted 3 October 2014 Share Posted 3 October 2014 I was going over the ethics of this with my A Level Media class this morning, when one of my students asked what would happen if the other person was setting a trap as well. THIS came straight to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
