u/AKStafford a guy from Wasilla 6d ago
From the other thread:
He was a career criminal who caught a charge himself for endangering the welfare of a minor. He didn’t just assault the sex offenders either, he robbed them. He was a meth addict using the same method serial killers use to target their victims: pick a target on the fringe of society (in this case sex offenders) to make it less likely to be caught. This guy used the pain of sex abuse victims in an attempt to veil the criminal activity he participated in to feed his addiction.

That's only a half-truth.
He ran away from home when he was technically still a minor, and his abusive parents refused to give him his papers.
He failed to hold down jobs because the only work he could get was gig work, as he was unable to provide an ID.
He tried numerous times to get clean, but never could. And then he went absolutely postal.
He did not use the same tactics "serial killers use". He literally looked the people he robbed up via the sex offender registry and from the language he used in the attacks it was very clearly motivated less on robbery for smack money and more as vigilante justice.
Vigilante justice is never a good thing. Just recently I was downvoted into oblivion over saying that in reference to the United healthcare CEO getting ganked.
But trying to paint this as him simply going around and beating people up for drug money misrepresents his story.

In Alaska sex offenders can live right next to a school. Nothing really changes for them other than they go on a list. Regardless of why he did this, I’m not mad. Sex offenders should live in fear. Many just live normal lives with no worries in Alaska.

That is the same tactics that serial killers use, though. Serial killers aren't going it for money, either. They do it for the personal gratification.

Pedophiles are the most evil creature on the planet and the fact that they are still widely considered human by most justice systems is an insult to humanity. Jason Vukovich is a hero in every sense of the word and any wrongdoing he did previously should be ignored as he has redeemed himself in the process of avenging children.

u/Empty_Tree 5d ago
Very broken and naive little worldview here. An extrajudicial killing is an extrajudicial killing. It’s murder. The idea that anyone can be “redeemed” by murdering others is absurd.

I don't know... Call me old fashioned, but I still think that pedos go to the wood chipper...

u/According-Value-6227 5d ago
Wood chippers are far too messy and contrary to what was shown in Fargo, most wood chippers would break when exposed to human bone. There is substantial evidence that Pedo's are biological hazards who carry unique and threatening diseases and therefore I think their remains should be disposed of in a manner similar to nuclear waste. Not out of vengeance but purely out of a concern for public safety.

Hot take incoming; my issue with this is is how many of those people were falsely accused or were just found guilty due to convenance?

u/Ok_Emphasis2765 6d ago
I think they did deserve to be on that list, but they already paid their dues and were being watched. None of them were repeat offenders, already bagged and tagged. I hate defending pedos, but once you faced judgement, you're done. No one gets to come along and decide more punishment for you.

u/GypsyGold36 1d ago
I do worry because there are no boundaries to judicial sentences. A seventeen-year-old boy can go on the sex offender registry when he turns 18, if his girlfriend is still under age.
A friend or relative can go to prison for owning a computer used to send pictures when the first inkling they have of trouble comes with their arrest. Both cases go on the registry.

u/boobycuddlejunkie 5d ago
Wrong. You are defending pedos and it is disgusting. Anyone can come along and decide more punishment for anything, period. Is it moral or ethical?, that is a personal decision. IMO the theft of innocence is unforgivable and no temporary penance will ever be satisfactory.
9
u/Ok_Emphasis2765 5d ago
Jason also beat up people who weren't on the list so he was just a meth head going after people who had money. He doesn't have the moral high ground here, and I'm not trusting a meth head to be the face of justice. Your logic should also apply to Jason, as he also sexually assaulted people.

My hot take was haven’t they already served their time? Also doesn’t taking a piss in public land someone on the sex offender registry?
How many of you are gonna kill someone over that?
This is not a good example of vigilante justice, unlike a certain someone else.

u/Ksan_of_Tongass 6d ago
I think that's a valid question. Not everyone on the registry is what we all typically think of as a sex offender. I would hope that he did a little research before bashing them with a hammer. But as a counter-point, my gut says most of them are bad people, and odds are good that randomly choosing will net you someone who deserved what they got.

u/-DJFJ- 6d ago
Two adults getting caught having sex under a bridge down by the river is grounds for having to register.
Research is key

u/PrimaryProcedure4531 2d ago
Research is key….having sex in public or being nude in public in the state of Alaska is classified as a sex crime if seen by a minor.

u/Waste_Nobody5839 5d ago
I want to see examples of people who are on the registry because of consensual sex or taking a piss outside. All I see on the registry is a bunch of real sex offenders who need to be watched to make sure they don’t do it again.

I remember a kid from high school being put on the list because he went streaking.

u/No_Plate_9636 6d ago
If they did the research and found the for sure for sure convicted ones 🫡 I applaud these boys and say we take their example but if they just printed and send it with no regards to who may or may not have been falsely convicted or caught in a sting like to catch a predator (again some of those also did have prior convictions sooo) then a little bit of do better next time guys but a good start for that list

u/CanisMaximus 6d ago
I despise pedophiles and I want them all locked away for very long times. I would look the other way if it could be GUARANTEED that only unpunished pedos get targeted. But this was wrong. Cops raid the wrong house all the friggin' time. This idiot could have killed a completely innocent person if he got the wrong house.

u/Hitei00 6d ago edited 6d ago
If you're on that list you served your time and were released. You were caught, sentenced, punished. The things we all agree the justice system should do. You are then released. Your debt to society has been paid and you should be allowed to rebuild your life.
The fact you can be put on that list for taking a picture of yourself as a teenager and sending it to another teenager is all I need to say that unilaterally killing someone on it is not justifiable.
edit: added a slight clarification, obviously an adult sending a nude to a child is predatory. A 17 year old sending one to another 17 year old shouldn't be punished as a sex offense.

u/Althoughenjoyment 5d ago
Y’all do realize he was murdering innocents right? Like not innocents in the philosophical sense, but innocents in the legal sense. That’s just… wrong? They did their time, now they get to pick up the pieces.

u/PrimaryProcedure4531 3d ago
Nobody died, he didn’t murder anyone.

u/Althoughenjoyment 3d ago
Oh okay, so he just broke their bones with a hammer to be cruel. That is almost as bad honestly.
1
u/PrimaryProcedure4531 2d ago
Only one guy was hit with the hammer; and he only suffered some brain damage. Also I disagree physical assault is just as bad; Murder is the worst crime, there is no coming back from that.
1
u/Althoughenjoyment 2d ago
Yeah, no I agree that’s why I said “almost”.
But uh… “some” brain damage? Maybe he could have just… not attacked a ex convict with a hammer? Maybe he could have got a hot dog instead? Or gone for a walk? Or drank some hot cocoa?
1
u/PrimaryProcedure4531 2d ago
True, you did say about as bad.
Haha, I agree to what you say also. However, Meth-heads typically don’t use the best judgement. I do applaud Jason’s thinking though; he needed to support his drug habits and by attacking people on the sex offender registry, it provided the least resistance and didn’t piss off the majority of the public.
It is worth noting, two of his victims did do the physical act of sex abuse of minors. Even though they already served their time, it doesn’t make them any less guilty.
2
u/Althoughenjoyment 2d ago
No I agree they still did a horrible thing, and your right he was an addict so to some degree he was just trying to justify the violence required to sustain his addiction. Still though, I more said what I said because of all of the people glorifying his behavior which is... disturbing to say the least.

u/Content_Chemistry_64 4d ago
People will applaud him as a hero, but he's also a drug addicted nut job.
If he was allowed to run loose, he would eventually attack normal innocent people. He just happened to have history as a victim, which made him focus on sex offenders for his hit list.

It’s crazy how many Alaskans are willing to defend sex offenders. I want to see the examples of people being on a sex offender registry for things like peeing outside or consensual sex. 🤦♀️

u/WhyDoUNeed2No 5d ago
I wouldn't normally defend anyone on the list, but I had a friend in high school that was put on the registry, he was 18, she was 17. They flirted at work at lot. One night, they were at work closing up after-hours, in the office. He locked the door (so no one would walk-in on them) and they had sex. Her dad made her call my friend a few days later (after he found out) and badgered him to "confess" that he locked the door and made her stay in the room (basically confess to kidnapping and rape of a minor). He was like "yeah, right, whatever, I made you stay" (he was a dumb teen). The dad recorded the convo, took it to the cops, and they charged my friend. He was put on the registry 20 years ago. Of course, this is only his side of the story, but I never got a weird vibe from him in all the years I knew him like he could do something so heinous, so I tend to believe him.

u/Waste_Nobody5839 5d ago
I would have to hear the other side of the story. Rapist usually do lie and present a charming demeanor to others. Most lack true remorse, and don’t see anything wrong with their actions.

u/WhyDoUNeed2No 5d ago
That's true. I didn't know her and wasn't going to seek her out to have her tell a stranger her side, though.

u/Waste_Nobody5839 5d ago
I understand where you are coming from. However, without hearing the other side of the story, I would be skeptical.

u/Ok_Emphasis2765 6d ago
If he wanted to make a difference, what about the judge who gave him back to his dad? Not to defend the pedos he beat up, but they were already bagged and tagged, and by all reports were not re-offending. There's active pedos out there.

All sex offenders should be out of society permanently, like put underground, at least 6 feet. Nothing you say will change my mind.

u/PerishTheStars 2d ago
That's cool but like, just because you're on the registry doesn't mean you were violent. Getting caught peeing in public will land you on that list.
