    I presume the NY Times is empathetic towards pedophiles.

      That’s a shit take. You can be against pedophiles, but also against violent vigilantism.

      I swear everybody here is fucking black and white, with no room for nuance. This is how cults and echo chambers get started.

        I must agree with Locke. I think these people need to punished for their crime but living out some comicbook Punisher bullshit in going to get someone killed.
