OK, first off, if you are pretending to be someone 13-17 years old and someone responds, that respondent can't even meet the criteria for pedophilia, so calling these vigilante thugs "pedophile hunters" is a misnomer from the start.
We've already featured vigilante (and Trump supporter) Tony Blas on this blog, but he was on Dr. Phil promoting his new Facebook group, "Team Loyalty Makes You Family" (which sounds like a really dumb street gang name). Other vigilante scum included convicted drug offender Jesse Weeks of "Hunted and Confronted," and Joshua Harwell of Predator Hunters USA.
One of these vigilantes, Shane Coyle ("Prank Call Mafia"), who claims he 'jump started" the online vigilante movement, now claiming to be retired from vigilante activity, says in another segment that "This movement is an egotistically driven movement and it needs to stop... Everything that is glorified online about exposing child predators is wrong."
While Perverted Justice has officially stopped their stings, a new gang of vigilante scum has taken their place.
