Im gonna have to go with this answer. Although anyone who molests a kid should be knelt down, and shot in the back of the skull.

The sex offender wasn't necessarily a child molester, and it seems from the eye witnesses that he never tried to grab a chlid on the street.

HopeyDaFish, you're my new favorite poster. I agree completely that sex offenders should be locked up forever, or at the very least, admitted into civil commitment or kept under strict supervision, but he committed a crime, served his time, and now these assholes are just trying to play judge, jury and executioner.

If this is true, thumbs up, even though I don't agree with vigilante justice. If he's a convicted sex offender, who hasn't learned his leason, these guys sent a pretty clear message.

I have no sympathy for child molesters. But, if this guy has been "clean" for a while, and these guys just beat the crap out of him for finding out what he had done in the past, that's not really cool.

My interpretation of the story didn't really give me any conclusion as to what really happened.

Nice how the newspaper repeatedly referred to the guy as a "sexual predator". Real objective journalism there.

I don't know of any news source with zero political spin, sad as it is.

"Sexual predator" is the term used by the Florida State DOJ, so it's not the newspaper that's being unjustly biased.
