Two paedophile hunters could become the first in the UK to be locked up for their vigilante activities after they humiliated a father live on Facebook for 14 minutes with false allegations that he was trying to sext a child.Sam Miller and James Moss’ target was forced to the ground, had a light shone in his eyes, accused of having sex chat with a child and publicly ‘berated and humiliated’ during the live stream video.
These people are scumbags. They are as bad as the nonces they claim to be hunting. So, yes, finally we are seeing the law take the appropriate approach. They do not use the due process necessary to prosecute a criminal offence, instead they jump to conclusions and plaster an innocent man’s face all over the Internet. It is doubtful that he will ever fully recover from this as there will always be the ‘mud sticks’ issue. Lock the bastards up and throw away the key.
If they were really about catching nonces instead of just after the kudos and views, they wouldn’t plaster it on the internet. They would just snare a pedo and then pass all the info to the coppers.
I can usually spot a wrong ‘un, and James Moss don’t look right to me.
Funny, I was thinking exactly the same as soon as I saw his photo.
Looks as if the Committees of Vigilance are morphing into lynch mobs already.
Not sure if you saw this and were immediately ‘sympathetic’ Mark. Here’s the ‘woman’ and ‘her’ quote in full. Hope you have had breakfast first though.

‘her’ speech in full.

British Cycling has just banned us from racing. This was to be announced at 11 am today. But I’m done with this whole conversation being on their terms, and being controlled by them.
They have no authority to control this conversation anymore. Does it surprise me that the same organisation funded directly by a state that ships vulnerable refugees to Rwanda, violently clamps down on any political dissent that they disapprove of, or starves their people? No, of course, it doesn’t. The same organisation with actively homophobic coaches, who encouraged eating disorders and did nothing about any bullying between its riders.
The same organisation where elite riders influence their policy when it doesn’t fit their entitled and narrow worldview, with no ability for nuance or any desire to question the view that they’ve been told since birth. Journalists have been circling like vultures at a corpse for the last few days, gagging at the opportunity for a story or comment.
British Cycling is a failed organisation, the racing scene is dying under your watch and all you do is take money from petrochemical companies and engage in culture wars. You don’t care about making sport more diverse, you want to make yourself look better and you’re even failing at that. Cycling is still one of the whitest, straightest sports out there, and you couldn’t care less.
This is a violent act. When the Government is expressing admiration towards Ron DeSantis fascist state which kidnaps children, and is itching to pass legislation to ban us from public life, this is a violent act. British Cycling are supporting this, they are furthering a genocide against us. Bans from sport is how it starts, look at what is going on in America. It starts with sports bans, then youth and general healthcare and then bans from public life through bathroom bans. Just look at the situation, and who is on your side. When literal Nazis, conspiracy theorists and those who want our eradication are on your side, surely that should give you pause?
I agree that there needs to be a nuanced policy discussion and continue to conduct research, but this hasn’t happened. Research isn’t being viewed critically, or any discussion about the relevance of the data to specific sports. Any discussion is inherently political and driven by bad faith actors, and the whole discussion is framed by the media who are driven through engagement by hate and funding from far-right ultra-capitalists. I’ve given my body up to science for the last two years, and this data will be out soon. There is actual, relevant data coming soon, and discussions need to be had.
I know a lot of people will think I’m being dramatic, or overplaying how scary things are at the moment. I’m having to consider an exit plan from this terrible island and figure out what point enough is enough. It terrifies me to exist at the moment, I have friends getting hate crimed all the time, and my reality is that I can’t look ahead to the future or make plans because I don’t know if I’II be allowed to live that long. Do you have any idea what that does to someone psychologically? To constantly see your existence being put up for debate, and the other side openly calling for our eradication?
I don’t even know if I want to race my bike any more, the danger and everything that would come with racing makes it a pretty hard thing to justify to myself. But you have no right on telling me when I am done. This is my decision and mine alone.
Yeah, I might be speaking strongly at the moment, but this is my reality right now. It is literally a fight for survival for me and my family at the moment.
I hope the media have fun cherry-picking quotes from this and making me look hysterical :)‘
Don’t need to cherry pick at all. It is hysterical. It’s unmitigated bullshit. He wants to cheat and is throwing a hissy fit because the grown ups finally said ‘no.’ And rightfully so. As soon as one of these twats uses the word genocide, I stop listening. Genocide is what happened in the holocaust, Rwanda and Bosnia. That’s fucking genocide. Stopping a man dressed as a woman from cheating in sports is not genocide.
I think there is something of a genocide going on.
The mass sterilisation of confused children, with mental health problems who are confused about their sexualities is kind of like a genocide in slow motion by robbing them of the chance to procreate.
Kind of.
However it’s described, it’s horrific.
Of course this isn’t what he meant. But still.
Typical ME!ME!ME! output: and doesn’t genocide usually infer many victims, not just a handful of shouty cheating freaks?
The same organisation where elite riders influence their policy when it doesn’t fit their entitled and narrow worldview, with no ability for nuance or any desire to question the view that they’ve been told since birth.
Why would we question a view that has been held for so long and fits all experience we’ve ever had?
This isn’t some abstract concept that doesn’t affect day to day life. If we suddenly discover that the big bang happened twice as long ago as we thought (to use a made up example), then whoopee, mind changed, carry on doing something useful. However, what constitutes a woman directly affects day to day life and my near forty years experience has given me a good idea of what a woman is and their function in life.
