He wouldnt be able to run if those probes hit...one must of missed.

I enjoy watching pedophiles suffer as much as the next guy, but I do think they were a bit quick to taze him. He was clearly terrified, posed no threat, offered no resistance and only began to run after they fired the tazer at him, which I would say is a human instinct.

Excessive force.

Judge: "What do you have to say about this case, officer?"
Officer: "It was dark, he had something in his hand,... yada-yada-yada,... we tased him to death. ... it turned out to be a hat, btw. I believe the hat had a bag of cookies in it..."
Judge: "Well, it was dark... you couldn't have known that at the time,... case dismissed!"

After watching this show for months, i find that the some (not all) of the peodos i end up just feeling sorry for.

The ones i'm talking about are the cases that look like a 22 year old who just hasn't grown up, as though they just skipped 7 years of their life and never had the teenage years. I can partially identify with feeling like you didn't have those years due to certain aspects of my life stealing those same years from me, and perhaps that's why i just sympathise with them.

Not sympathise as in "poor guy, let him have sex with that 13 year old".. i mean "poor guy, i don't think he realises the age gap". I think someone in that mental position is about as capable of "choosing their own way in life" as a 13 year old is capable of making decisions about who they're about to have sex with, and from there i can almost compare it to two 14 year olds trying it on for the first time.

Then i remember a picture of a "paedophile" i saw when i was a bit younger, he looked like he was about 16 and my immediate reaction to half the story was "how can they call him a paedophile?". Then i found out he was 22 and he'd arrived to pick up the under-age girl from an airport with a pistol and various shackles.

And then, of course, i think "what if that was my daughter?" It all leaves me very confused about this show.

I hope this came across in the right way Never ever would i condone anyone over the legal age of consent having sex with someone under it.

I feel sorry for them too, but not in the way you do. Every one of them on this show realizes that they are doing something horribly wrong, and yet they do it anyway. I feel sorry for them for the punishment they are going to get in the afterlife. It would be better if they had never been born.

In the afterlife? Hoo boy!

Imagination is fun, isn't it?

I suppose ridiculing and insulting someone's beliefs must a sign of heightened enlightenment.

Zing! Although to be fair, I think shuac was just as stunned as I was deedub81 didn't end that sentence "for the punishment they are going to get in prison." Because I think we all know what's waiting for these guys once they get inside...

I'm not really sure what to make of these guys. Are they criminals or mentally ill? Either way I don't think prison is going to snap them out of it.

Back on topic. Wasn't there some lawsuit about these takedowns? I think a number of these guys sued saying that Dateline basically told the police to "make it look good for TV," which resulted in unnecessary roughness in a lot of the arrests.

EDIT: And I don't find this funny. Sorry, no upvote while the comedy tag is still there. Also surprised by no * actionpack.

I don't expect a 'heightened enlightenment' but I do expect people to not just make shit up about an afterlife and punitive measures one might receive there. I'd much rather see punitive measures be meted out here on Earth. That way, they're demonstrable, measurable, and you don't need any imaginative powers to observe them. Unlike your afterlife.
