MEGA-THREAD: Vigilante violence and hard-right thugs

[Artaxerxes II]

It turns into real-life violence. Only time will tell when will such vigilante actions will stop. We are kind of witnessing that with an increasing part of the online leftist community turning away from Tik Tok vigilantes given the latter's unpalatable "wignat"-adjacent political views.

We are everywhere. Even in the halls of power.

The former Labour MP for Hove, Ivor Caplin, was arrested today (Saturday 11 January) after a sting by paedophile hunters.

What if all of the MAPs in parliament unionised. That would be a force to reckon with.

This guy is a former MP who has an X account ivorcaplin where he posts NSFW behind tags, including midgets and asian twinks.

Maybe he is bold enough to become a spokesperson for MAPs if he is at risk of losing everything.

I can see that he is part of the LGBT community. I too am on that spectrum. And so I find this to be rather bitter sweet as the LGBT community in general tend to deny that we are actually one of them.

The poor man looks terrified.

These 'predator hunters' are looking for any excuse to bully and hunt down people as a sport. The UK is especially evil for that mentality. So-called 'predators' are the easiest target, encouraged by the appalling discourse toward MAPs propagated by British establishment figures and wider society.

I hope one of these vigilantes eventually gets what they deserve.

This is the group that entrapped him. 'STOP Stings UK'.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I think this just shows how revolting people can be. The man served his time and should have been left alone. Of coarse asking " How is your daughter" does make one wonder what his intent was in asking. Still doesn't make what she did right.

No, she was definitely in the right. He got what was coming for him and it's absurd to call her the revolting one. Rape is disgusting, he is disgusting, and if that's the choice he decided to make it proves he was never capable of becoming better in the first place. Getting rid of him is more of a justice than anything

Olivia, while I fully understand your feelings regarding rape—actual rape involving violence, as in this case, not "statutory rape", of course—being a disgusting crime and the man discussed here being revolting (especially as evidenced by the way he reacted "bumping into" the mother), vigilante "justice" is never a solution. Think of how "paedophiles" are "hunted" by people who feel we're disgusting and all deserve to die.

Even if someone killed one of my loved ones, I should not be allowed to take justice into my own hands and kill the criminal after he served his sentence (or before/during for that matter). Although I might well feel like doing so.

No matter how serious the crime, no matter how terrible the criminal, no matter the intensity of our feelings, we shouldn't "kill bad people". In fact, I strongly oppose the death penalty altogether, and it's fortunately illegal where I live.

Never assume that someone can't repent and atone. I'm currently writing an article about my maternal grandfather. He repeatedly raped my mother when she was very young, which left her with horrific lifelong symptoms of rape trauma syndrome. He raped other girls, too. In part because of tough conversations with my mother, he gradually came to understand how much harm he had done. He converted to Christianity and spent the rest of his life trying to atone for his great sins, in part by being a wonderful grandfather to his many grandchildren, including myself and my two younger sisters.

Yes, I had to read back and verify that we were discussing an actual rape, which shows just how disrespectful the modern definition of it is to victims.
