Just started at 9pm. The 2nd segment they're doing is about internet predators.
A few months ago they did a similar segment, where they posed as a 12 yr old boy in a chat room, where numerous older men started talking to them. Eventually they arranged a meet at a vacant house, where LOADS of these guys showed up, to a house w/no kid, and lots of hidden cameras. You wouldn't believe the backgrounds these guys had, how brash some of them were, and how stupid 1 was in particular. Many of them took off running.

Well, they're doing it again... and this time- the cops will be waiting!

I can't wait!!!!!!


MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt that entrapment?

Im not defending the perverts but if they actually contact the guys first that would be entrapment

But otherwise i hope these slimbags get owned like the little bitches they are while in jail and see what its like to be defenseless.

Isn't that similar to female police officers posing as hookers? Is that entrapment as well?

Its not entrapment. No one made them go trolling for kids online. No one made them show up at the 'kids' house either.

Coming up right after the commercials...

Whats wrong with exposing the problem of online predators? Maybe it'll make parents a little more cautious w/their kids, and there's nothing wrong w/that.

It's in very bad taste that's what the problem is!

Like I said before, taking a serious situation and turning it into entertainment that preys off peoples fears.

I'll have to watch the show to make a final judgement of course, but I'm already familiar with that usual Date Line/60 Minutes Style of reporting. Are they actually making any effort to catch known predators? rehabilitate them? or prevent them from offending again?
Or....is it just for the big time ratings???

I find that the majority of American media uses this pathetic approach to cover stories

Have we not learned anything from Michael Moore???

Sometimes we have to look abit beneath the surface to see the real situation.

The 1st 2 segments they did like this they did not arrest the offenders, which was shocking to me, since these people had obviously broken the law. How they let all those predators run off into the night w/out repurcussions was kinda gross. The only good thing was that their faces were shown to the world, & I believe they might have mentioned that some of them had lost their jobs as a result.

I'm glad that they're gonna be arresting them the next show. Apparently, this sting house was set up in CA, and the numbers of men that show up far surpasses the other houses.
