OK, not trying to start a riot....I was channel surfing between commercials and caught another episode of "to catch a predator"......are these guys really this stupid????

I mean how many times have they done this type of episode and you are so sick and twisted that you think they won't catch you

Daniel Bates · 02-13-2007, 07:26 PM

Well, they never HAVE caught me...

there appears to be no shortage of these idiots, and evidently likewise no shortage of those who enjoy watching it.......

yes we were watching it and they are in Murphy Tx. I can only watch so much of shows like that before i get sick and try to figure out how we, as humans, have survived this long.

What is funny is when they get caught by the NBC guy, they say, I wondered if this was Dateline NBC doing a report. They have done like 7-8 of these shows, you think people would be afriad...

And how about the guy they caught TWICE... What a dumb arse... they need to go away for a very very long time.

There was a judge from Murphy that they caught...then when authorities came, he shot himself. Some of the captures are hilarious cause when Chris Hanson pops out, he's like "Hi I'm Chris Hanson with Dateline....Do you know what were you doing?" Then the predator plays innocent haha. This is good stuff...I always wanted to sign up on perverted justice to catch these idiots...imagine if it was one of your friends. bum bum bum.

Louis W. Conradt Jr was the guy that killed himself. He was an asst DA in Rockwall county and also served in Kaufman County as the DA.

I always like watching Dateline internet stings. It is like a car crash. You cant just look and walk away. You have to watch.

i have never understood the attraction. I look at children and just wonder what the attraction is. I mean I love children but NOT like that! hehehe They are sweet innocent and HONEST human beings, but they are Children! they arent adults. Just amazes me and makes me sad to know that there is some VERY mentally ill people out there that arent taking care of their mental illnesses.

I remember reading about that in the paper when it happened, but didn't know what it was all about. Apparently that's in next weeks show. So, did he have a gun with him at the setup house, or did he do it later?

edit: I found this after my original post...interesting article HERE.

edit #2: Here's one of the original articles by the New York Times.

These guys totally floor me, they all say "I wasn't really going to do anything", or "This was the first time I ever did this". They all end up having condoms with them, but they were not planning on doing anything.

He did it later, in Texas it's against the to law to solicit a minor over the internet so the guys that did not show up at the house the cops went to arrest. That’s what they were doing when he locked himself in the house and then did it.

I think that is a panic thing. I was listening to the radio the other day and they were talking about it on I think it was lex and terry. Imagine being in that persons shoes.......Your there to commit an Act you KNOW is wrong and some other adult comes around the corner saying sit down lets talk. First thing that goes through your mind is this is the kids parent and he is going to shoot me dead! hehehe So they panic and make up the first excuse that comes to mind. Dont get me wrong I am SOOOOOO NOT justifying what they are doing by ANY means......Just put yourself in their shoes. Its like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar when you were a kid and your mom walks around the corner only to say WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?!? hehehe
