Maybe if Canada would arrest these wannabe vigilante scumbags, they'd stop. Leave crime fighting to the police, folks.

'He tried to run me over': Pedophile-targeting vigilante sting goes awry
Josh Elliott , CTVNews.ca

Police are warning a vigilante group to stop ambushing alleged pedophiles and shaming them online, after an attempted sting went awry in Surrey, B.C.
A local chapter of the self-proclaimed "Creep Catchers" was recording video of someone they claimed had arranged to meet a purported teenager for underage sex, when the suspect panicked and crashed his car into a parked truck. The driver also narrowly missed injuring the vigilante, who was leaning into the car's open passenger door when it drove off. The vigilante had been posing as a 14-year-old boy, and was recording the incident on his cellphone.
The suspect became spooked when he noticed the vigilante recording their encounter on a phone, as shown in a clip posted online.
"He got scared and tried to take off, hit a parked truck, (and) tried to run me over," said Patrick LaForge, one of the “Creep Catchers” involved in the sting.
Surrey RCMP condemned the incident in a statement, pointing out that vigilantism does not help them bring potential sexual predators to justice.
"Vigilantism is a risk to the safety of all those involved including victims or potential victims, the alleged suspects, and/or the safety of those persons intent on broadcasting the suspected crime," Cpl. Scotty Schumann said in the statement.
Police are describing the case as a "motor vehicle incident," and have not indicated whether any charges will be laid.
The Creep Catcher movement has spread to several cities in Canada over the last year, with most of the takedowns occurring in Western Canadian cities. Vigilantes with the group pose as underage teens online, in order to lure potential pedophiles into meeting up in person. The Creep Catchers then record their in-person meetup with the suspect and post the video online, along with the online chat history of their "flirtations," in order to publicly shame the individual.
Police in Edmonton issued a warning to the city's Creep Catchers last April, saying that their activities are dangerous and potentially disruptive to the efforts of police. Vancouver police also slammed the group's activities in February.
Creep Catchers founder Dawson Raymond says the group's mission is to keep children safe. "Men and women, young and old, rich and poor; these creeps seem like everyday people but they just ACTED on a dark secret within them," he writes on the website. "Let's hope I can scare a little sense into them so next time they want to meet a 13-year-old for sex, they'll REMEMBER MY FACE and think twice!"
The vigilante movement uses tactics similar to those employed by the long-running U.S. television program, "To Catch a Predator," in which host Chris Hansen would ambush men seeking to meet up with young girls for sex.
Founded in 2008, ABSOLUTE ZERO UNITES is a blog covering corrupt politicians and vigilantes who abuse sex offense registries to commit crimes (murder, assault, harassment, vandalism). This is a journalism blog; all articles posted in this blog is covered by Fair Use under 17 USC 107. All opinions are my own, and all persons featured here are (IMHO, of course) criminals and assorted losers.

Also if you want to know how vigilantism starts it comes from here.

See like what you said Vigilantism leads to terrorism as this video about the IRA and Drugs war comes from.

Even a fan of Mundane Matt on Youtube about another vigilante incident (later classified as a drug deal gone insane) has said that victims can somehow get over abuse.
Even supposed abuse victims themselves have managed to say this and how vigilantism leads to more insanity.

+Filip Skopec I am a rape survivor and I respectfully disagree with your thoughts in this comment. If a person allows themselves to remain a victim, they will never get over it. However, if you do not allow an event that happened to you, define you, then recovery is much easier. I have treated my rape as being no different that a car accident or mugging. It happened, I was injured, heal and move on. A large number of women subconsciously enjoy the attention of being a victim - look at feminists - and tend to be the vocal majority when the media wants to portray a rape victim. You don't see women like me who think, "It happened, get over it." because we don't fit the narrative of "women are victims, feel sorry for them". I don't want sympathy or pity. I want to be respected and appreciated for my accomplishments, not for being raped. So, although there are women who never allow themselves to rise out of victimhood, there are also women who refuse to be a victim.

+X-Maverick Its not bloodthirstiness, it's frontier justice. Lynching people for no reason then because you feel the justice system has failed when they let some one go because they find them to be innocent due to lack of evidence or evidence to the contrary. Shooting some one because you feel they deserve to be killed for a preceded slight or crime against you be it real or imagined.
People like Star Trek Theory are back woods hillbilly primitive screw balls who want to drag us all back into the lawless days of the wild west. If I saw some one I cared about in the act of being raped (or in the act of raping some one ) sure I would act on it with violence and force to stop it, but to act on it with violence and force after the fact rather then to let the law handle it, well that's a brake down of law and order, and with that comes the collapse of society all together.
I'm a man, I was rapped half a year ago. Yet the next day when I learned from our security camera system what had happened, I didn't go out and cut that bitches head off, nor did I let what that bitch did to me while I was passed out drunk effect me in any way. I simply avoided her and moved on. She eventually got what was coming to her when she caught a nasty STD, not long after that she was arrested for statutory rape of a minor. There really is no need for vigilante justice in a modern society.

The Problem with vigilantes here is that it always leads to formation of Terrorist groups see RAAD Ireland a neo-IRA group in Northern Ireland.

Also in Mexico Vigilantes always leads to terrorism and new drug cartels.
These supposed catchers in the USA, Canada and UK don't really see the full consequences of vigilantism. Remember the UK Case involving Chris Carroll the supposed "Sting Operation on Paedo/Chomo" lead to new street gangs in the UK or forming a new militant group like the IRA.

Update Ireland just had a Vigilante Attack on a kidnapper/abuser. This is becoming Irelands version of Valigator and the Patrick Drum attacks but more insane.
For those of you wondering how Ireland ended up with a vigilante problem
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-18510327
you will have to go back to RAAD and the IRA these vigilantes have their origins as Irelands biggest terrorist organizations.
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/more-than-400-violent-attacks-on-registered-sex-offenders-in-five-years/story-29650845-detail/story.html
Update for Absolute Zero Unites we have a case from the UK where they just posted their crime stats and
the headline says "400 violent attacks on registered sex offenders in five years as people take law into own hands"
Yes like the USA theres a UK edition of the registry law and yes high profile abuse cases.
Come on here most of the attacks in the UK and Ireland involve RAAD, Street Gangs and the IRA but they are not mentioned in this case but other articles and youtube videos I seen were confirmed by investigate journalists from those countries. The Problem here is that most of the attackers are militants who declare war on Drugs or War on Abuse and it yes leads insanity by the militant vigilantes in the UK and Ireland.

And another Update for Canada's Perverted Justice.

http://www.630ched.com/2016/09/29/creep-catchers-called-out-for-preying-on-vulnerable/
Update Creep Catchers Canada is now facing allegations that they caused a woman to commit suicide after a confrontation over a child pedo confrontation gone insane.
Damn Creep catchers Canada have managed to get allegations similar to police brutality but crazier. Have any of their leaders ever thought about that their targets are mentally damaged. Look at Police Brutality in America every time we see a youtube video of a police officer shooting somebody we have wait after the video got sent to the FBI, Black Lives Matter and Media that the Accused officer in the scandal was either corrupt or the detained had a series of Mental Health issues.
Damn We will not find out how insane the "Creep Catchers Canada" are until we see the Canadian version of FBI say "The creep catchers leader is a terrorist or part of a corrupt group"
We have to wait until "Creep Catchers Canada" Leader reveal that he is mentally insane for his actions. We know the targets mental issues.
