I understand how you feel, i completely agree that what these guys did was sick and wrong, i agree there should be punishment. However, some of these men never did anything but contact these "girls", were their intentions to have sex, yes, did they ever do that, no. It makes no difference if they actually performed the act, if it was done in your heart its as if you committed it in life, thats not my point. My point is that one of my closest friends is on this list and i will not cast him or any other of these men, whom I've never meant, to capital punishment because of a moment of weakness. Some of them are probably complete perverts like you said, but dont pin that on every single one, sex and the addiction of it is a very real problem for many men, id rather help them overcome than kill them and take a life that was never mine to take. What they did was wrong, no arguing that, and i know you may not have been serious about your comment but i take life very seriously(not to say you don't), if they have a problem than they need help, will it use up our money, yep, but i can't throw around lives as if i am death himself. Should there be punishment, you bet your bottom dollar there should be, but not capital punishment. Sorry for the rant, no disrespect.

I agree with you about the punishment! I think pedophiles, rapists and serial killers should all get the death penalty. When you put them in jail, all they do while locked up is scheme and plot about doing it again when the get out! These types of freaks in society actually are hunting people! They never change either because they are completely wired wrong mentally!!

so far i think the manatee county is not done enough with this 1 of these arrested sickos lived with my mother and he served 30 days in the port pled not guilty and is out on bond he still has his computer and still is online he no longer lives with my mother after his arrest she threw him out but hes on probation and still has a computer and probibly still online

Neutered? You are too kind! What use is there for a person capable of this crime? Death penalty, that should deter them! To those who think the innocent should be punished (no internet until age 18??) ~How about parents being parents and instead of allowing electronics to babysit their children they should actually be actively involved with their children!

I don't think they even think about getting caught because all they can think about is one thing. It's the driving force in their sick lives! I saw TO CATCH A PREDATOR that was doing the sting in Ft. Myers and one guy brought his little boy with him when he was going to meet a young boy. The police had to call the perv's wife and tell her what happened and that her son was there and could she please come and get him. That poor woman must have been mortified!
