Vigilantes should be allowed to deal with paedophiles/nonces etc whatever you want to call them .
Danny .. I assume you don't have a daughter . If you did your view on such a subject might change .

There shouldn't be a sex offenders register.. Only way do deal with them is the registrar of births , deaths , and marriages .

No they shouldn't. It only takes one person to cry wolf for someones life to end up ruined anyway as with things like that it is very much a case of mud sticks. To start allowing the idiots who take the law into their own hands would only make that worse and give people an "excuse" to do what they wanted to who they wanted in a way.

These things need to be properly investigated and dealt with by the correct people not by Joe Bloggs who wants to take the law into his own hands.

It had sunk to new depths.

They’ll always be an opposite opinion of yours on this board but they’ll always be one that’s around the same of yours as well. Its like in a debate were someone says give all the power to the victims.

The bitter victims or the recovered victims?

You've missed the point. I'm saying vigilantes are not the way to go because you could end up attacking an innocent person.

Fair point . So lets just go for the convicted ones .

I'd hate to be a pediatrician if LS13 came walking down my street.

Why ?

Just my opinion . Anyone GUILTY of tampering with , or abusing children , should be tortured before they are killed . No excuses , no second chances .

Generically I've never understood that saying.

It assumes that the reaction of the second event is always wrong. I'd call that justice. In some cases.

e.g. Man A punches Man B. Man B punches Man A (harder hopefully!!)

Sounds ok to me!!

Answer this one then .
Would you be happy to see the person/persons that had sexually abused your child freed after a short custodial sentence ?
