Child predators average dozens of victims in their worthless lives. This man cared enough to help avoid hundreds of crimes against kids by doing something heroic. His unfortunate death will still put two young murderers behind bars. As young as the killers were, imagine the years of damage they would have done if they were still out there. Yes, it is a dangerous pursuit, but heroism isn't for cowards.
I love how the Sheriff warned him of the danger, but if the Sherriff's office had been doing their job, instead of Lee, then these perps would be off the street.
Scaring people into doing nothing by stoking the fear of death for protection of children from predators is not the best move. Seeing as he caught 35, I would imagine he did more than most entire departments do in a lifetime. If that’s the case, his death was caused more by odds than anything else. He acted in public places to ensure max safety, but there’s no 100 guarantee of safety anywhere. People should write a book with small the pedos he’s caught, how he caught each one, where he met them, and steps to doing this line of justice along with a few extra points regarding preparation for these one off scenarios which he overlooked or disregarded out of being so used to doing this. That’s the point maybe. Getting to comfortable is when the danger sets in.
R.I.P. brother. You did good work without extreme resources. The work will continue.
He put his hands on someone and got shot🤔
May he rest with Jesus and many rise to take his place to continue in exposing pedos but are safe in their work.
God bless him and his family
If someone should be on a mural, it should be this dude.
while I commend what he trying to do, confronting some one he suspects is about as dumb as it gets. Especially going up to one and punching them in the face. Take what you have to the cops.
That only made him a martyr ✊.
Poor guy
Every major cities police department should have a unit that does exactly what he was doing so citizens dont feel like they have to get involved.
😡
R.I.P. 🙏
God please bless this soul. 💔💔💔💔💔 I’m so sorry to hear this story💔💔💔💔
Police are involved don’t trust
Yeah he was doing the cops work! Of course it was dangerous. But if they did their jobs, civilians wouldn’t have to!
What a great man. Honor him for he may have saved your child.
