They won’t get Bill Clinton or Joe Biden. They have Secret Service protection.

And yes, as they said in the article, there actually have been a few shots fired. But they've also gone after hundreds of these guys, so they've managed to accomplish an awful lot of good. The one guy they detected a second time actually dropped out when he learned the girl's age. Deterrence by ass-beating works.

Justice for some evil individuals will not be meted out by government.

When I misbehaved as a child and got my tail beat, I didn’t repeat that offense.

Better to little girls get sexually assaulted, I suppose, eh?

These men are filling a vacuum that the state ignores, if not actively promotes.

"Though the hunters referred Marty’s case to detectives, police in Indiana did not file charges."

When the police and courts won't act, the people must.

Fix the "legal" system and this vigilante crap vanishes.

When the government doesn’t protect the people through legal means, people will protect themselves.

Me thinks police don’t file charges, nor do Soros DA’s.

In Kamala’s America, it is these dads who will face prison time. The pedophiles will not be prosecuted.

... and when it involves innocent children, people will act. But there are always those pathetic, callous losers that will shout their snivelling mantra, ignoring the fact that children are being hunted:

"That's not who we are."
"We're better than this."
"Tsk. Tsk. Well I never ..."

It seems child trafficking is a big part of our open borders. There are hundreds of thousands of children that have just gone missing.

Vigilantism always works in a vacuum. It’s not good but it works at first. Does the end justify the means? Just look at how the NY subways became safer when Bernie Goetz did his thing.

Stake out church youth group leaders, youth coaches, and law enforcement officers.

Mostly people don't really give a crap what adults do to each other, mostly.

Animals and children?

That's different. (IIRC, animal cruelty laws we first passed when an advocate brought in a badly abused child and rubbed what cruelty looks like in the faces of the congress critters)

kinda sorta reminds me of what was once called “gay-bashing” back in the day, early 70’s, IIRC.

I had friends - former friends - who would go to locations known as homosexual hangouts (local parks, clubs, beach bathrooms) around St. Pete, FL, get the attention of some cruiser and after going off to some preselected location a gang of guys would jump the homosexual, beat him within an inch of his life.

It’s how we all found out for sure a couple of guys in our high school were homosexuals while everyone’s “gaydar” was going off, they maintained enough decoy “girlfriends” and normal guy friends as camouflage nobody really knew until they showed up to school on Monday bruised/battered and making up stories about how it happened.

Again, this was once considered “normative” behavior among heterosexuals.

Democrats, libturds, foresee a time when pedophiles they refer to euphemistically as “Minor Attracted Persons” or part of the NAMBLA crowd, will have equal social standing as overt homosexuals.

“Love is love,” they tell us.

God help us all.

I appreciate the spirit of what they are trying to do, but the execution can be counterproductive. How do they know with absolute certainty that the person pulling up to the location (a motel for example) is the actual person with whom they were communicating? How do they avoid just randomly attacking a guy who was simply looking to get a room during a road trip, for example?

I would like to hear more about their methodology for determining that they are confronting the actual individuals who thought they were going to meet a minor. Seems like a lot of potential for error.
