I know I can't be the only one who watches this show. Well if you're not familiar with it, this what basically happens.
They pretend to be underaged teens in a chat room and wait for sexual predators to contact them. Then they invite the predator over, when the predator expects to find a underage teen, they find Chris Hansen. He ask them questions basically like "WTF is wrong with you?" and "You know you're a sick pervert, right?". Then he says his line "I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC and we're doing an investigation on adults who meet underage teens for sex." The cameras come out and predator is embarrassed and leaves. Once he leaves the cops come and arrest him on the spot.
They've been doing this for like 4 years I think and they still catch these people. I kind of feel sorry for these dudes. Yeah they're sick, but they are getting set up. They get arrested for just showing up at the house. These dudes have serious problems, but I see it like - They're hungry, there is some undercooked steak, they know they shouldn't eat it, but its right there. Then the get arrested just for picking up the fork. To me these dudes are like predators in training. I think there should be more attention on the sick criminals who kidnap innocent kids right off the street. Those dudes are real monsters.
I'm not a parent, so maybe thats why I don't fear these dudes as much. I think people need to watch their little freaky 13 year old, who is inviting these guys over and telling him to bring condoms and stuff.
Don't get it twisted, I in no way support these predators, I just pity them. Its an entertaining show, last week this dude got tasered when he tried to run. The show comes on NBC on tuesday at 8:00 EST.
