Wait, wait...so let me get this straight....

Police raid the guys house and he decides to shoot himself. That sounds like an innocent man to me.

Police raid a house without a search warrant, man kills self. Police had no right to intrude into his house which was the probable catalyst for making him kill himself. Bottom line they went in without a search warrant better question why are you only chasing after NBC?

It seems that by not bringing the police into it you make your case stronger by saying that the party at fault is a 3rd party that isn't associated with the justice process and they are a corrupting force. The fact that police are going along with them seems to be being pushed under the rug in the face of putting all the blame on NBC. Even given the nature of the show and not to defend the guilty parties that are apprehended in the show but if the police are giving up confidential information and being coerced the news just wants its entertainment it's going to do ask and try to get this information the fact that the police are giving it up worries me more.

As despicable and disgusting an act internet predation is the law is still there to protect the rights of all parties even though many times we may not care if the seemingly guilty party has its rights removed.

The fact that this story focuses on making you see NBC as the bad guy is interesting.

There was an article about this a little while back. The guy who killed himself was supposed to show up to a "rendezvous" where he was originally supposed to get busted. When he didn't show up they went to his house with the so-called erroneous search warrant and tried to nab him. He was a DA... whether the allegations stuck or not he was pretty much fucked for the remainder of his life. I hope NBC gets fucked for this.

Yup. "Poisoning the well"

"The entertainment industry can not act as police, judge, jury, executioner."

Amen, sister! That is exactly what this all comes down to. Never mind if their intentions are to make money or simply to catch bad guys, this sort of vigilante justice can not be accepted. At least not if you want to live in a society where criminal law is based upon the assumption that everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. I know I do.

Kids? remove tag imo

guilty or innocent, just appearing on the show implies a verdict of guilt in the jury of public opinion. Whether a person would choose to fight it out in court or not, the shame that would come from the mere accusation must be tough for some people to manage.

I'm glad. One less piece of shit to pollute our community.

how do you know he was a piece of shit?

Because he was soliciting sex from a minor.

because tv said so to me
