What bravery did they commit? What heroic act did they commit? I fail to see how arresting people for a thoughtcrime is heroic. It is disgusting and slimy at best, especically if done in the shady - sting-operation way that this one was done.

How can someone who has never raped a child but just views CP on an online forum be a "motherfucking-sickshitbag-fucker"? Who was the victim of this person?
Why do you feel the need to insult people who haven't done anything wrong?
>(although the police stated the pictures they used already exist else where).
I bet that this was probably also the case with most of the images in that forum.

How do you exactly "protect children from harms" by catching people that simply view CP?
