Some vigilantes are well-meaning but misguided. Others are just thugs looking for an excuse to vent their inner anger and aggression.
The guy in the video above strikes me as not very intelligent and with an exaggerated opinion of himself and his abilities.
PAEDOPHILIA – A MOST SERIOUS CRIME
The sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults is a most heinous crime and calls for condemnation, police investigation, court processes and imprisonment.
These is no excuse for this inexcusable crime.
REHABILITATION IN AND OUTSIDE OF PRISON
As well as punishment pardophiles must accept the horrors and seriousness of what they have done and be ready to accept lifelong therapy, supervision and condition management by the court system and social services.
Paedophiles who do not admit their guilt and accept rehab have a more serious problem and should then be considered for further detention and more intense supervision.
Over the years I have worked with both paedophiles and victims of abuse.
I have identified two types of paedophile:
1. Those who admit their wrongs and want help.
2. Those who do not admit their wrongs and are quite likely to abuse again.
You can help the first but not the second.
NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS
On this crime, and on all crimes, we should allow the police, social services, the courts and prisons to deal with them.
In our society, people do not take the law into their own hands and shoukd not be allowed to do so.
The ejit above who tackled the man in the garage shop was totally out of order.
If he was worried he should have rung the Garda.
PAEDOPHILES AFTER PRISON
All prisoners who have served their time and paid their debt to society are entitled to live in peace.
If they are wise they will move to a new area where they are not known, make themselves known to the police there and live an ordered and legal existence.
Part of that is engaging in the ongoing management of their condition – somewhat like an alcoholic who uses AA to keep himself on the straight and narrow.
