Is it normal nobody stood up to this guy?

I was reading the news today when I read a story that happened locally that made me feel disappointed with people, not that I wasn't already.

A man at the local mall was with a woman and a little girl, estimated to be about 9, going around the parking lot pimping out the little girl asking men to pay to have sex with her.
Eventually he left after someone called the cops.
He ended up getting away and they are now looking for him and the little girl. They also stated the woman with him was not a suspect.
Not a suspect, bullshit, she obviously knew what was going on and is just as guilty for letting this happen, but that's not the main point of this post.

What disappoints me so much is that none of the men did anything to stop him. If someone approached me with that offer they would be lucky if I didn't have a weapon because I would kill him on the spot. If I had no weapon I would attack him and hope he dies. I may or may not have killed the woman with him too depending on my mood, but even if I spared her I would make sure she remembered it for the rest of her life and hope she goes home to kill herself.

I am in fact disgusted with how passive humanity is for not standing up to these things. I may even be put in jail by our awful society for how I would handle these things, but they will not take me alive.

I even feel that people who do not put a stop to these things are almost just as bad. I just don't understand. It seems people are so concerned about themselves that they are afraid to stop things that are obviously wrong, which to me is one of humanity's biggest disappointments.

    I would have stopped him from leaving until the cops showed up.

    Sure you would, Mr. Karate (I sincerely doubt you'd do that, even if you might fantasise about being the action hero). Of course even if you did, who's to say you'd win the fight?

    Hey, instead of attempting to brutally murder two people in front of a child further traumatising the poor girl, you could do what sensible, rational, mentally stable people do in that kind of situation, and call the police. You could even attempt to keep the 3 there after you've alerted the police, or follow them, so the police can find them. At most, you perform a citizen's arrest and restrain the man and woman (preferably with assistance from other people nearby).

  • You said yourself that someone called the cops on them. That means that there was still somebody who was willing to do the right thing. Were you expecting a bunch of people to just gather in a lynch mob and take the guy out right away? Even though this man is scum for doing what he did, trying to solve crime and violence with more violence is just going to lead to more violence, crime, or pain directly or indirectly later down the road.

    • Problem is because they failed to physically keep him there, the guy took off with the kid and is still out there probably doing the same thing.

      Sometimes it is our responsibility to take matters into our own hands. You cannot expect the law to do their job right.

      • You mean make a citizens arrest? That would be the ideal solution for these types of situations but a lot of people want to avoid conflicts as much as possible. It is just a reality and people have been like this for a long time. I don't think it is getting worse. There are still tons of people willing to take the risk and try to do what is right and what needs to be done.

        • It's just disappointing to me that people don't stand up for things like that.
          Many things I don't care to be involved in, but child molestation is the worst thing someone can do in my opinion.
          If someone approached me doing that I would beat him until the cops showed up and they would have to force me to stop. I don't normally carry around weapons, mainly because I'm not concerned for my own safety. I'm a big guy and am an unlikely target for someone, but if I were to have a weapon, that is a time it would go to use.

          • And realistically you would also be put in jail and most likely charged for 2nd degree murder if you were to let your temper get the better of you. That is why all these laws are in place, so people do not take law and justice in their own hands by going to far and causing even more chaos. Two wrongs don't make a right. But I understand your anger all the same.

            You think molesting a child is worse than murdering a child?

  • Most men are pussies nowadays. They were to afraid to fight the man so they called the cops behind his back now theres a pedofile on the loose. I would of knocked that guy out on the spot sent his ass to the hospital and then jail.

      I would of dropped him to the floor and kicked him in the ribs a bit. Then i would of grabbed a crowbar and rammed it right up that pedos ass a few times to teach him lesson and really humiliate him. then I would piss on him.

    I wouldn't kill either of them. But it would only take seconds for me to take that child and make sure she is safe. Then I would call the police. I read all these posts and all you people can talk about is what you would do to him or her. Violence salves nothing. You should protect those around you, if you are able, because that is the right thing to do.

  • Someone indeed stood up to him by calling the cops. Your hypothetical plan is understandable, but not wholly reasonable; the authorities would have been more than willing to deal with the situation themselves, and taking matters into your own hands would accomplish nothing aside from ensuring you a lengthy prison sentence.

    Still, I wonder exactly how long it took for someone to take action. I mean, what did all the other guys say - "No thanks, I don't really want to have sex with a child prostitute. Perhaps you could ask someone else? Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go grab some pizza."

    If it were me in that position, I could only imagine how utterly horrified and disgusted I would be. Then I'd call the cops.

  • I like how the guy is the only one being brought up here when it is obvious the mother is involved.

    I wouldn't give the woman a pussy pass on this. She would be getting stomped on the same as the father. They are her parents and should be protected by them, not destroyed by them.

      Relax. It's an old police trick. Their only hope is that the woman involved reaches out to the police so they put out the word that she is not under suspicion of wrongdoing so she feels more secure coming forward and bringing the child to safety. They will question her if she comes forward and bring charges if appropriate.

          It's fact. The probability of the man coming forward is about zero because he knows his goose is cooked. They are playing to the woman to come forward. The police do this ALL the time in all kinds of cases. First and foremost they want the child safe then they want to make arrests. If she comes forward they WILL detain and question her. She will probably incriminate herself. Whether she does incriminate herself or not the police will threaten her with charges or actually charge her. She will at the very least end up being used as a witness to nail the pimp. That is how it works.

    Good for you. there needs to be more rough justice and rape as a punishment for crimes like this.

      Yes, if there's one thing we need more of, it's rape.

        For some crimes its the only option unfortunately. Unless they learn why they will just do it again.

          That's not true at all.

          Rape as a weapon of punishment enacted by the state is a terrible, terrible idea. Rape as a form of justice is plain wrong.

          Who would do the raping? What impact would that have on those sanctioned to rape? What would be the compensation for somebody wrongly raped by the state? Rape the state in return?

          Also it's incredulous to think that rape would function as a deterrent against sexual abuse. Capital punishment doesn't work as a deterrent against murder. The problem is the majority of murderers, rapists etc. do what they do because they think they'll get away with it. If you think you'll get away with it, the prospect of being raped doesn't seem such a powerful tool of dissuasion.

          I prefer the idea of living in a country where the most dangerous people are kept out of society, whilst the moral integrity of our society isn't compromised by 'an eye-for-an-eye' justice. But maybe that's where we differ.

            An eye-for-an-eye, or an ass-for-an-ass. It is the only way because otherwise nobody gets the proper punishment.
            When they kill people on death row they have to have someone to operate the needle machine and they used to have hangmen. So professional rapers would probably do the raping. Maybe some of the rapists in jail could it. If somebody gets wrognly raped they would get an apology note, but its better to have 1 rapist wrongly raped thatn 100 rapists out on the loose pimping their children.

            It works because its the most fitting punishment for the crime and they will know what it feels like. they can also get jail as well.

        Yes, but then OP would be put in prison and that little kid will have seen two people she possibly loved and trusted brutally murdered in front of her own eyes.

        It's not a preferable course of action over getting the two arrested.

          • What disthing is saying is that your actions on wanting to hurt the parents is showing caring for the kid, if indirectly, subjecting the child to witnessing the murder of the only 2 people it probably knows wouldn't be the best course of action. Getting the child away from them is.
