An interesting question.
I think there would be a large amount of support from the general public but they're not your problem.
Any support from the police would be from themselves as individuals, parents, etc, but you have to remember you would be breaking the law and to stop everyone taking the law into their own hands they would have to arrest you.
Most Police are as sickend by Paedophiles as the general public if not more so because they have to deal with them directly and the aftermath of what they do but where do you draw the line?
Do we then have groups attacking burglars? Car thieves? Speeding offenders? People who drop litter?
It sounds easy to draw the line in theory but what happens when an innocent man (sooner or later you WILL get the wrong man) you beat him up and he dies of his injuries because he had a heart defect or an illness you didn't know about?
Personally, (as a parent) i'd love to see them all hang because there is no cure, they will always be looking for the next child but beating then up will not make the slightest diffrence.
In fact it will make them become more difficult to catch as they spend much more time covering their tracks.
We can only keep track of them much better than we are now, and serial offenders should be permanantly locked away.
Pity we can't just drop them all off into down-town Bagdad. |

The public might be a bit sympathetic to your cause but I think the police would take a different view of it |

The public certainly would but the police have to follow orders and even though they would agree they ,I suppose, would have to do their job. |

The problem then arises that the family of the victim of your beating might start an anti-vigilante vigilante group and beat you up, whereupon your supportors would feel the need to begin an anti-anti-vigilante group, etc.
That's why we have laws and a police service.
Unofficially, though, they might find it very difficult to come across proof or witnesses and you might get away with a warning to stay out of trouble, if the injuries the nonce sustained were not too serious. |

I think the police would arrest you and prosecute you. The courts would find you guilty, but impose the minimal possible sentence.
The public would worship you. |

No to all of those.
We have a system, like it or not, and no society should have individuals being judge and jury.
Do you remember the News Of The World campaign? A pediatrician was attacked because the mob did not know what a pediatrician was.
If it was down to vigilanties, anyone could say that there annoying neighbour was a pedofile to get revenge for something and where would that leave us?
The courts take a very dim view of revenge and vigilante acts, as well they should. |

The police would not let you off they would arrest you and you would go to court. Yes it is revolting how these people are such low animals and we all would like to do something about them but it must be left to those who have the lawful right to do it. |

i would support you.personally i think all peados should be tattoed on their face so we can all see who they are |
|
?
|
you would probably have most the publics support but i would say the police would not be very happy and the courts would probably make an example of you |

you would be charged even if you didn't assault one of them, most likely be charged with incitement..
Unfortunately the law has to protect everyone, even those scum (in my opinion this is wrong, we should be able to protect our kids!) |

fraid not, police cant let you off despit your motivation for committing the offence.
The police's job is to follow through evidence to a conclusion despite their personal feelings about it.
Apart from that point imagine the precedent that would set, there would be vigilante's all ober the place.
No the law is there for a reason and the brave trained boys and girls of law enforcement do it for the best reason possible, to see justice done, not some personal vendetta against alleged criminals.
sorry mate we all want to see peadophiles castrated and tortured, but vigilante's would get sent o tjail and then who's that helping.
I think public support would be divided most people dont like the idea of vigilante as they like the idea that society isnt gone mental, and they would be alittle scared.
but i imagine there would be some support. |

Just read an article where a group of four people, two men and two women lured a man in his 40's with a mental age of a child into a house, tortured him and beat him up, dumped him in a river and kept pushing him under the water until he drowned.
This was done because one of the 'men' thought he was a paedophile because he talked to a 4 year old boy.
I don't like paedophiles I want to see them kept in prison once they are caught, but I don't want vigilante's either, what might they decide next is not fit for society?
People who wear the wrong type of clothes? |

I take it youve seen that 'Outlaw' movie - the police would arrest you and send you down for a long time. However the tabloid media would hail you as a hero. |

Why would the public support you for breaking the law ? I would think even the most stupid would appreciate that anarchy of this sort would be completely counter-productive. One thing writing about it on yahoo answers, another living in a society accepting such behaviour.
As to whether convicted paedophiles should be treated differently to currently - that is a completely different question. Just because I would never support vigilantism does not necessarily mean that I would not support toughing the legal measures available. |

depends on how it happened. if you busted into there home and did it, i can't see any reason they would let you off, unless you were personally involved. if you did it while they were hanging around a school or something that might be another story. |

Who are you to set yourself above the law. At the moment we have laws to cover paedopholia. They may not be perfect but they are there.
May be your best work would be to support the police in catching them. |
|
?
|
The public would.
I would.
But the police tend to get a bit stroppy about that sort of thing. |
