The Paedophile Hunter

Why are the press so down on Stinson Hunter and others of his ilk?
They’re doing a bloody good job. They work hard, admirably, hunting down the seemingly growing number of paedophiles grooming children online.
What could possibly be wrong with that?
It’s not like they’re entrapping these people. They make it clear that the character they’ve created is under-age, so these paedophiles honestly believe they are grooming people under the age of consent for sex, knowing that it’s wrong, and it’s illegal.
So, the answer for these predators is, if you don’t want to be exposed as a paedophile, then don’t be one. It’s really that simple. You wouldn’t jump into a tiger enclosure and expect not to be attacked, so why expect to act like a filthy piece of shit and not get called on it?
As a survivor of child sex abuse myself, I welcome Stinson Hunter and the work he does. I have donated to his cause, and will continue to do so when I can afford it.
We live in a time in which more and more people are being exposed as paedophiles. There are people we admired in our youth that are now turning out to be nonces. There are politicians; people in power, who have been committing terrible crimes on an industrial scale and then covering it up.
Who can we call on to do something about this? Our police forces are stretched to their limit and beyond, and our corrupt, in-bred overlords are making it worse with their cuts and the sheer amount of administrative bollocks they keep piling on to them. They need help, because the government are stifling them, which is why I feel sad when I see police officers denouncing Mr Hunter as a vigilante and saying what he’s doing is wrong. I’m sure it’s only a party line; and that in private they actually support what he does. I hope so.
I haven’t come to terms with the abuse I suffered yet, although I am working on it. That means I still have a lot of anger, which when added to my already considerable bile and hatred means I’m a bit of a powder keg on the issue.
As far as I’m concerned, Stinson Hunter and his like don’t go far enough. If I had my way they would be stringing these monsters up and castrating them with a rusty butter-knife.
I’m sure Mr Hunter wouldn’t condone this. He seems like someone who has his own particular demons under control and is using his experiences constructively.
Stinson’s real name is Kieren Parsons; he’s 33 years old and has been hunting paedophiles for over four years. I’ve watched videos which show how he works, and it’s clear to me that he approaches his work responsibly, without trying to entrap anyone. He makes it clear to the people he communicates with that they are chatting to an under-age child. The fact that they’re not really is beside the point; they have what the law calls mens rea – guilty mind. In their minds, they are grooming a child for sex, and I have no doubt that had a child turned up at the meeting instead of Mr Hunter, they would have had sex with them.
Stinson’s latest triumph is securing the conviction of a Shropshire Bookmaker named Martin Currier. 51-year-old Currier thought he had groomed and was meeting a 13 year old girl for sex. But that “13 year old girl” turned out to be the paedophile hunter, and thanks to him, Mr Currier will now be sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court on 26th March.
How can that possibly be wrong?
Currier’s lucky I wasn’t the one who turned up that day. I would have killed him. No messing; no beatings; just a steak-knife in the throat. That’s real justice.
So, rather than condemning Stinson Hunter, we should be congratulating and thanking him. He’s going about it the right way, when it could be a lot worse.
I’m sure there are fewer people grooming children online because of Mr Hunter. These predators will surely have that little doubt running through the back of their filthy, evil minds; that the child they are grooming might turn out to be Stinson Hunter, and that can only be a good thing.
