No question the old pervert needs to be w/ Bubba. How many resources did the police use to bust this guy? What could they have spent their resources on that would have benefited
you and I? Could any of this be construed as entrapment?

I don't need perverts like this guy stalking around after my daughter. When you're getting rid of predators you hunt them down -- if you wait until they attack, it's too late.

I'm not real sure about the entrapment part. The FBI has to show in court that the guy was seeking contact with the "girl", made the first offer for sex, and wasn't just merely being led on by the "girl".

Personally, I find that removing a pedophile like this from the community benefits my neices (I don't have a daughter but I have five neices).
I'm sure a sleezy lawyer will try to argue the entrapment angle, but unless they contacted him first, sought him out and tried to lure him into the encounter (seems a little pushy for a 13-yr old girl so it probably wouldn't be a very effective technique for catching pedophiles who tend to be predatory by nature), I doubt such a defense will fly with even a gullible jury -- let alone a judge who would rule on such questions.
