And on what evidentiary basis? For some reason I may never understand, Britons seem to be literally obsessed with paedophila, and more than willing to initiate witch-hunts based on mere accusationsCases in point: Man hounded out of second townJune 7, 2012A man accused of being a child abuser was run out of Castle Douglas on Saturday.http://www.dgstandard.co.uk/galloway-news/news/2012/06/07/man-hounded-out-of-second-town-51311-31127557/23 April 2012 Last updated at 20:25 GMTMurder trial told accused had 'paedophile hit list'Peter Bick Supermarket worker Peter Bick died from severe head traumaA man accused of murdering a 57-year-old supermarket worker had a hit list of men he planned to kill in an attempt to rid the world of "paedophiles", a court has heard.Christopher Hunnisett, 28, is accused of killing Peter Bick at his home in Bexhill, on 11 January.Lewes Crown Court heard there was no evidence that Mr Bick, who died from severe head trauma, was a paedophile.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-17811391Vigilante-style attack on suspected paedophilePublished on Wednesday 28 March 2012 09:32A MAN carried out a vigilante-style attack on a suspected paedophile after tracking the man down to a secret address, Lincoln Crown Court was told yesterday (Tuesday).Ian Stones, 25, of New York, discovered the man was at an address on the outskirts of Spalding, and after driving to the property forced his way inside. http://www.bostonstandard.co.uk/news/crime/vigilante-style-attack-on-suspected-paedophile-1-3672196Family living in fear after false sex offender postersMarch 15, 2012Police are keeping guard outside a family home after posters were put up falsely claiming a sex offender lived at their address.http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/9589708.Family_living_in_fear_after_false_sex_offender_posters/Innocent man Terry Edwards in paedophile mix-up too scared to leave houseMarch 14, 2012An innocent dad-of-two is living in fear after being wrongly identified as a paedophile who shares his name.http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/news/2012/march/16/im_not_a_paedophile.aspxMother and schoolboy admit killing man wrongly suspected of being paedophileMarch 1, 2012Williamina Stewart, 37, and Paul Noble, 17, attacked Gordon Morrice after he asked to play on the mother-of-threes trampoline with two young children.http://local.stv.tv/aberdeen/news/299492-mother-and-son-admit-killing-aberdeen-man/Weird?

One man who was wrongly labeled as a sex offender, was attacked and harassed for almost 10 years until he got his name cleared in court.During those intervening years, he was repeatedly attacked and beaten, his car was vandalized, his tyres slashed. GuruWell said Guru - it's people like this who worry me more than child molesters at time as they don't require the same standards of proof as a court of law would.Having said this I would say there's a huge difference between taking the law into your own hands and blowing someone's head off and executing them at the end of a fair trial where the Prosecution must prove a person's guilt beyond reasonable doubt.As you say unfortunately accusations have been awarded the same weight as proof in some cases and as such we mustn't allow ourselves to get carried away. Of course your average member of the public would shit himself if he knew about the level of CP here on the darknet but without someone to lynch I daresay they're harmless enough.V.
