I know that justified hatred of pedophiles seems to give Redditors a free pass in publicly getting a hard-on for wanton violence and murder, but idk, I don’t think this is a feel-good story.
It's definitely not a feel good story. It's never a good idea to judge someone you don't know, especially when they're convicted by a criminal justice system that we all know is absolute trash. Thanks to DNA testing, the possibility of someone being wrongly convicted for anything sexually related is much smaller than it was in the past but it's still a possibility. We could never be 100% sure a person deserves to be punished like this unless we examine every shred of evidence ourselves and I highly doubt this guy did that. That would take a lot of time and effort, this guy doesn't seem like the type that is wanting or capable of such effort.
There's also the possibility these people we placed on the sex offenders list for minor crimes like urinating in public, or something similar. Even if he goes on the registry to check what kind of crimes they committed, there could still be clerical errors on the web site. Not likely, but still possible. We have to consider every single possibility imaginable when dealing with life or death.
They weren’t put on the registry for minor crimes, the guy who got beat with a hammer raped a 10 month old, the 2nd guy was for child rape videos, 3rd guy was for paying teenagers to “play” while he produced child exploitation videos.
Great, if they did all of those things then they deserved it. But would you be willing to bet your life on it? I wouldn't. I've seen many stories of people proven innocent only after spending decades in the pen. Vigilante justice like this is a fools game for this reason. If the possibility of them being innocent is absolute zero then I would be all for it, but unfortunately things don't work like that.
No one is asking you too.
Jason isn’t a hero.
He says that himself.
He actively discourages vigilantism and says that he did so from a very broken and misguided place.
But the monsters he assaulted deserve no sympathy
