I hope you all are well or are at least of sound and rational mind when you read this post. This post WILL feel accusatory.
I get it. Lizard people makes a lot of sense. Because how could a human be so depraved? It's gotta be aliens or something else right? Because you would NEVER do such a thing, right?
Wrong. So... so very wrong. You are just as capable of being the best our species has to offer as you are the worst. Just because you have yourself convinced you could never fall to the depths of a child trafficker, doesn't mean you can't or won't. Life has a funny way of taking "I could never" and proving you wrong. I told myself I would never become a religious extremist... I ended up coming dangerously close.
The truth is, that is so very hard to accept, is that all of us, even on this site are capable of anything.
What you HAVE done is you have CHOSEN not to embark on that path. You have DECIDED based in the information available and experiences of others to not become someone so evil and disgusting. And that I commend you for.
But the reason vigilante justice is often frowned upon is because while you choose to be an upstanding citizen, you are capable of being set on a path in life that can lead you to such horrible choices. The reason it's so easy to be a saint is because life never gave you any such trails or opportunity. Or maybe it did and you had the sense to not go down that road early on. Either way, you were presented with a choice. Same as everyone else.
If you are anticipating a hanging tree for everyone who so much as looked at a child with ill intent, prepare for maximum disappointment. The ugly truth is some will "get away with it". Not because they outsmarted Q or anything, but because they cooperated. And if those people hadn't made the choices they did, they wouldn't be in a position to turn on the other evil bastards who WILL face the noose. A necessary evil? Perhaps. But if we go back on any deal we promised them, we're no different in the end. We then just become another faction dictating morality like all the others who claim to be the correct and true path in life only to really be a human driven agenda. Justice will have to be accepted on many forms.
This isn't just introspective. It's to point out the fact that just because we squash the rings, doesn't mean the concept of pedophilia goes away. In fact, I fear once the heads do start rolling a lot of people with the affliction may choose not to come forward and seek help out of fear and we don't want that either least we seed yet another child trafficking ring. We want people who may feel that affliction to come forward and seek help because in the end that is probably all they will need.
Even when we do eradicate the current trafficking rings, we need to make sure this never happens again and to do so it means accepting reality: any human is capable of anything. Unless someone is going out of their way to defame you, never take personally someone's open skepticism or distrust. You don't need trust to be a good person. Just simply choose to to good things regardless.
When will this end? In the grand scheme, probably never. Even in the after-life or whatever comes next, there probably is no definitive end to the war against evil. And we can say with certainty in this existence that is to be the case. Even when this war is over... another will try to start and that is why I am posting this, to help mitigate. To put emphasis on what "Do not judge least ye be judged" is ACTUALLY implying and yes... it is that simple and also that deep of a cut. Celebrate justice because children are no longer in harms way. But to dance on the grave of a foe is to dance on yourself and also... do you really want to give them the satisfaction of an acknowledgement? These people are sick. They don't care if you hate them. Only that you know they exist. And when they stop existing, you should forget who exactly they were and only remember what they did to encourage future generations to choose better.
