I was responding to a post about the Dateline perverted justice thing. Something that punishes suspected pedophiles without a trial by giving them the rather cruel and unusual punishment of nationwide, televised humiliation.

I know nothing about this case, so I can't say anything specific about it. However, I could imagine that even an innocent person might consider suicide when faced with the prospect of being portrayed as a pedophile in front of his entire family, all his friends, all his coworkers and pretty much the rest of the country.

My point isn't that this particular guy doesn't deserve his fate, but that the entire Dateline Predators thing is a disgusting example of vigilante "justice" without any legal basis.
