Lately in the news, there have been complaints about fake ICE agents preying on innocent people in migrant communities throughout the United States. In case you don't know what "ICE" stands for, it is "Immigration and Citizenship Enforcement." Those are the government officials that go after people that are illegally in the United States and deport them back to their nations of origin.
Well, there have been concerns about people disguising themselves as ICE agents, masking their faces, and illegally apprehending individuals whom they believe are undocumented aliens. What they are doing with these people is alarming. I'm here to point out that online predator catchers are no less dangerous than these fake ICE agents are.
1. A Dangerous Swarm Of Fake ICE Agents
There is a YouTuber named Kristi Burke who has a YouTube channel named Jezebel Vibes in which she posts videos about controversial topics involving religion and politics. I don't agree with Ms. Burke's adverse opinions about President Donald J. Trump. However, her most recent video about fake ICE agents victimizing innocent individuals is spot-on about the horrors that are currently occurring here in the United States. Her video is below.
Kristi Burke Describes A Major Threat To The Safety Of All Americans
Now, I'm all in favor of ICE agents deporting MS-13 gang members or any other violent criminals who have no business being here in the United States. However, what is particularly disturbing was a story that I once came across about an American citizen who was trapped in Mexico merely because he didn't have proof that he was an American citizen within his possession.
The Mexican authorities will not allow this man to remain in Mexico, and the U.S. authorities won't allow him to cross the border back into the United States. So, where does he reside? He's living on this one strip that doesn't belong either to the United States or to Mexico as a homeless person in all the squalor there. It's an injustice.
Similarly, so many years ago the U.S. immigration authorities deported a group of Puerto Ricans from the United States to the Dominican Republic under the erroneous belief that they were citizens of the Dominican Republic rather than of the United States. After the matter was cleared up, the group of Puerto Ricans that were illegally deported from the United States filed a lawsuit against the Federal government.
I do support Ms. Burke's points about church asylum. If Reverend Al Sharpton has been able to extend church asylum to individuals whom he feels the police have unfairly persecuted, that same practice should be a standard principle among all ministers.
Ms. Burke makes important points about fake ICE agents illegally grabbing random people off the street. First of all, it's a crime for someone to impersonate any kind of law-enforcement official. Therefore, these fake ICE agents need to be detained and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I don't care how well-meaning they believe they are in their intentions. They're crooks.
My response to Ms. Burke is that if unscrupulous individuals are impersonating ICE agents to victimize innocent people in some of the most unspeakable ways, how are online predator catchers any less dangerous than them? These online predator catchers have even been caught committing murder against complete strangers on the sex-offender registry whose offenses bear no resemblance to what these online predator catchers believe.
2. Online Predator Catchers' Involvement In Domestic Terrorism
Like the fake ICE agents, online predator catchers are trying to get all of us used to the United States becoming a Fascist totalitarian police state. They don't care about people's rights. They're all about fear. The fact alone that most of them don't carry private investigators' licenses on them demonstrates that they want to make their own laws.
Look at Ghost CC Unit. He identifies himself as an online predator catcher. His videos are all over YouTube. When you see him, you'll notice that he covers his face with a mask like these fake ICE agents do. He has used scare tactics against people with whose particular cases he has not familiarized himself. He's not making the world any safer of a place for teenage girls who are not yet legally old enough to vote.
Conspiracy theorists Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot believe that the fact that a girl can legally wed at 12 or 13 years old in Mississippi is a recipe for human trafficking and forced "child" marriage. But are they really concerned about the well-being of adolescent girls? If they are, why are they sitting back and doing nothing about the fact that the late Aubreigh Wyatt suffered a brutal rape at the age of 12 at the hands of a boy the same age as her?
To this very day, the late Aubreigh Wyatt's assailant has not been arrested for his heinous crime. What are the authorities there in Ocean Springs, Mississippi waiting for? Are they waiting for this punk to go breaking into some vulnerable 99-year-old woman's home and brutally rape and murder her? They have to know that he's not going to stop committing violent rapes until someone in authority stops him.
Ms. Reiss and Ms. Smoot will whine about how they don't want teenage girls that young marrying any man who is noticeably older than them. Yet they don't seem to have any problem with some underage punk violently raping a girl barely in puberty. In case any of you are not familiar with the tragedy of the late Aubreigh Wyatt, a video will give you the full story.
Keeping teenage marriage legal in Mississippi has likely saved many middle-school and high-school girls from falling into the same circumstances that the late Aubreigh Wyatt did. There are young girls who have gotten married at the late Aubreigh Wyatt's age to escape poverty or to get away from a school where they are undergoing constant torment from their peers. That is, a young bride's husband will get a place outside her school district for them to live or switch her to homeschooling.
Ms. Reiss and Ms. Smoot are not serving the greater good in their mission to outlaw teenage marriage throughout the United States. They'll run their mouths about how they feel that adult men are misusing the institution of marriage to circumvent statutory-rape laws in places where girls can get married before they're old enough to get their driver's license.
Those two women are incorrect, because these marriages are not all about sex. These marriages about two people sharing a future together.
When an adult man takes the hand of a teenage girl in marriage, he doesn't get a license to commit statutory rape. Yes, he can have sexual intercourse with his 13-, 14-, 15-, 16-, or 17-year-old wife without getting a knock at the door from the police, but he's not legally able to have sexual intercourse with his wife's underage friends. And why would he want to do so, if he's with the one he loves?
Conspiracy theorists like Ms. Reiss and Ms. Smoot have one-track minds that put lurid thoughts into the heads of unsuspecting individuals. We must not give these two women even one ounce of credence. They're troublemakers.
Online predator catchers may present themselves as mere busybodies seeking to enforce the statutory-rape laws throughout the United States, but they are no different from fake ICE agents in that they are domestic terrorists in disguise.
3. Conclusion
Putting the law into the hands of dangerous vigilantes and the likes is only going to make the United States an undesirable place to live. Merely because you've had no confrontation with the law or you were born in the United States doesn't mean that these goons cannot come after you in your homes.
Let's stop these self-appointed online predator catchers in their tracks by refusing to watch their videos posted on YouTube and elsewhere and refusing to give them any money contributions. Pushing for laws that would require each of them to obtain a private investigator's license would cause the majority of them to drop out of their so-called profession and find real jobs instead.
More and more stories about vigilantes murdering innocent people are coming out on the news and on the Internet. Below is a video containing a story of that nature.
Norman Michael Achin Reports A Vigilante Committing Murder
Even though I am confident that Mr. Achin is innocent of the offenses of which he was convicted, it concerns me that keyboard warriors continue to ridicule him in the comments sections of his videos. Hopefully, those keyboard warriors will keep their hostility strictly on their keyboards and not stalk him in person. They shouldn't even bother him at all, if they're not willing to listen to what he has to say.
These online predator catchers, vigilantes, and their supporters like wood chippers, because, as domestic terrorists, they're enamored with deadly weapons and the bodily harm they inflict. Let's stop the madness. People don't need to be taking the law into their own hands.
