To Catch a Predator

We're watching To Catch a Predator.

How stupid can these guys be? Guess what grandpa? There isn't a 14 year old hottie virgin in the world, that's just saving herself to meet a 45 year old married guy.

Mrs Schwartz wisely points out that any underage girl, that's looking to hook up with an older guy, would say that she was 18.

Amazing how many, uh, foreign guys show up for the kiddie sex.

The media just can't help but play up the "scary guns" angle. The cop had a bunch of guns and ammo in his trunk. Yes, it's weird to carry that much at once, but they keep repeating the "We dodged a Bullet tonight" crap.
Once again, you'd think a cop would know better.

I'm sorry, but this seems like a weak case to me. Yes, the guys who send pictures of their junk are already breaking the law. Yes, I know that a minor can't give consent. Still, in the cases where the guy hesitates going into the house, and gets egged on by the girl; or the times where the guy just turns around and tries to leave? I'm sure these guys probably would have done something, but the whole thing screams of "reasonable doubt".

  • It does seem like entrapment. But on the other hand, these guys have now made their network debuts, so I'm pretty sure their friends, neighbors and employers will lay down a pretty heavy judgement, even if the cases get thrown out at trial.

    What amazes me is that these guys actually seem to believe that some nubile young virgin girl just can't wait to hook up with them. Hello?!? Try looking in the mirror, buddy.

  • Yeah these predators are seriously brain-dead. I mean, they ask the decoys if they're cops(right, like the decoys would ever admit it), they suspect a sting, and they're mentally retarded enough to show up anyway, using all the same moronic excuses that Chris Hansen has heard a zillion times. These guys either all want to be caught or they're all dumber than dirt. My collie has more intelligence than these retards. Personally, though, I don't see this as entrapment. Perverted Justice doesn't lure these guys initially, they wait for the predators to contact them first and THEN lure them in. No one says these guys HAVE to solicit ANYONE on the internet.They were already there doing it and had probably already seduced kids before being caught.
