No, you made the claim, the burden of proof is on you.

You ask me to supply proof. I, like you, obviously is not a subject matter expert but I do supply many articles that show I am not alone in my thinking. You try to discredit this but offer nothing of your own.

I am talking about an innocent person being hounded and attacked by a group of people who cannot look beyond the media hype. And who said anything about them being "some of the countrys thuggery underclass"?

And a group of people that don't know the difference between a doctor and an offender, they're obviously not very intelligent. It was me that called them the thuggery underclass, as I would imagine that it was not lawyers, stokebrokers, accountants or any person of reasonable intelligence that were beating a path to their door.

I'm sure at least *some* of those vigilantes are "ordinary decent people", just like the "ordinary decent people" who post messages on here or write letters to newspapers saying that paedophiles should be executed/ castrated/ locked in a room with a few good people...!

I dont deny that "ordinary" people may do extraordinary things. Hey I've got an idea. As it was my point that Paedophiles should not be released for our childrens safety, maybe they shouldn't be released for their safety also??

"Appeal to Emotion",

Sometimes it is right to appeal to emotion. to take away the emotional and damaging affects of these crimes, lessens the severity of the crime.

Quote:
You accuse me of taking away a paedophiles human rights. Well tough, what about the childs human rights. What about Sarah Paynes human rights after being killed by a freed convicted paedophile and she is not the only one.


And, once again you go for the Appeal to Emotion.

Maybe - but the point is valid. You champion the human rights of the paedophile. But here is an example of where a convicted paedophile was released back into the community. He was not a relative of Sarah Payne, he did not groom Sarah Payne over time. He was an opportunist that abducted her. It could have been any child at any time.

This is the scenario that frightens the public, now you may argue that not all paedophiles are like this, and I would agree to a point.

But from what I have read there is no evidence to support or deny that just maybe on one occasion a paedophile of any description might not give into his (or her) urges if an opportunist situation arose.

And that is the uncertainty of human nature.
