I was watching Dateline's To Catch a Predator the other night.  It's a dayum shame how many men like to sleep with 12/13-year-old-girls.  The one thing I didn't understand is how every last guy on the show apologized profusely once they realized they had been set up, like that meant a dayum thing at all. 

I also saw a man who was being caught for the second time. He was actually caught and arrested on a previous episode, and this idiot did the same thing and got caught by the same people on the same show twice.  I wish they hadn't even arrested him.  They should have just commenced to beating his azz on sight, forget due process. 

Another observation of mine is that it is crazy that these men are driving hours to get some underage tail.  And many of these men are married or in relationships with daughters of their own. These folks should be taken off the streets for real.  How did that guy get back on there a second time?  He should have still been locked up the first time.  Questions like this have stirred a lot of controversery surrounding Dateline's show. 

Many people feel that "Perverted-Justice", the group that contributes countless hours to setting up the chats and all, practices entrapment.  One blogger on MSNBC went on to say that absolutely none of the predators we see arrested on T.V. have been charged...and I quote,

      "No prosecutions have been made on a single case to date because of the procedures used, which has been widely interpreted as the most incredable case of entrapment in the law inforcement industry. Even MSNBC held off airing the show for 4 months."

Another post added in regards to why only male predators are caught on the show,

     "The reason men are the only ones caught is because they are targeted! Everyone do what is right and research perverted justice and ask yourself why dateline pays them in excess of $100,000 to produce predators. Then ask yourself if the public would agree with 10+/- armed police officers throwing a woman down on camera and roughing her up if that would be acceptable.

Research how the Arizona Supreme Court in May of 2006 said no evidence from Perverted Justice would be allowed in their court of law. There are underlying factors such as .....microsoft owns a major part of dateline to catch a predator, and think about the show and how the top three chat programs it talks about are aol, yahoo, and myspace. They label these programs as the worst on the internet, some they say are pedo enablers. Might they be the competition?

Take a look at your computer and see if the microsoft based chat program came with it and then ask yourself why is the program that comes on virtually EVERY computer not even busted one person? Its a way to market their product and at the expense of innocent families and guys that make bad decisions not necessarily illegal ones.

Read up on identity theft and identity fraud, wire tapping laws, consent laws that deal with hidden microphones and cameras, entrapment laws, read up on how it is illegal to act as a private investigator or pay someone to act as a private investigator and then ask yourself why they get away with what they do. Its all fun and games until they trick one of your family members into meeting. Read the diff articles on how they exagerate the Predator stats and how they admittedly just made the number 50,000 predators up.

The Predator issue is a serious one but there is not an epidemic like they fabricate and want you to believe. After all if there was no epidemic they couldnt sell you software to monitor your child online. Also if you think this is such a good thing get windows vista and have a built in patch to your personal computer that allows the government to access your computer at will. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV your parents taught you that as a child why should it change?"

I thought he had some interesting points regarding the dollars and cents of it all.  Because don't get it twisted, if there is no money to be made, Datelline wouldn't waste their time and resources.  Of course we would like to believe that they are doing this just to ensure the safety of our children but...

Nonetheless, I don't agree with this guy at all, regarding the men being innocent victims of entrapment.  These guys need to go under the jail.  I don't care how much coaxing it took for them to get there, they showed up at the house in hopes of getting some under-age-action.  That's it, that's all.  If a bank teller leaves a stack of cash on the counter, gets side-tracked and walks away and leaves you standing there...yes, you could say she enticed you by leaving it right there so easy for you to take.  But if you take it, you are a thief, it's just that easy.  But atleast his post explained why people are showing up on the shows twice, they aren't really getting convicted by the sounds of it. 

The last episode I watched, Dateline caught 300 men over the course of 3 days.  Pray for these fools please!

Smooches!
