    Now you have the supporters of the killers come out and justify the reasons why they killed the people they accuse of being "Child Lifters". Yes this is going to be a "Blame the Hero defense"

    A man impersonating a police officer threw fuel on a person and set them on fire on the doorstep of a home in Mackay over "crazy' rumours about the victim and children, Queensland police have alleged.

    Police said a 47-year-old man doused the 42-year-old man in an accelerant over the false rumours before setting him on fire.

    The 42-year-old man was seriously burned on his upper body and injured on his face.

    Police said he was taken to Mackay Base Hospital for treatment to non life-threatening burns.

    No-one else was injured.

    Police said the 47-year-old had been charged with attempted murder, assume designation of police officer, enter dwelling, and assault occasioning bodily harm and arson.

    He will appear in the Mackay Magistrates Court later today.

    The 16-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder, assault occasioning bodily harm and arson.

    Inspector Brendan Smith said the incident "came about from probably some false information, allegations about the conduct of the occupant of the residence".

    Inspector Smith said police would allege that the two accused "took it upon themselves to act in a vigilante type manner to take their own retribution" .

    "We had investigated the allegations against the victim — we found them to be unsubstantiated — the rumour mill went crazy."

    From article on how the event took place.

    A 28 year-old Perth man has been violently assaulted after he was targeted through the Grindr dating app.

    On the evening of Friday 20th July the man began chatting with a another profile on the app, after a conversation they agreed to meet up. The man arrived at the agreed location and was lured to nearby Bennett Park in Doubleview.

    In the park he was met by a group of young men who assaulted him, leaving him with a black eye, bruises and potential facial bone fractures. The group of men shouted gay slurs calling him “a fag” and accused him of being “a pedo”.

    The men attempted to take his wallet and mobile phone, but he was able to escape and return to his car. The assault occurred between 10:30pm and 11:00pm on Friday night.

    The assault is similar to a series of attacks that were carried out against gay and bisexual men in Perth’s southern suburbs in 2017.

    In December last year 20 year-old James Joseph Katchan was sentenced to six years in jail for his role in the five attacks, while 19 year-old Cody Parkinson was sentenced to two years imprisonment for his role in one of the assaults.

    In 2013 Perth man Warren Batchelor was killed when he was attacked by two men. Batchelor and another man had been having consensual sex inside a public toilet cubicle at a park in Middle Swan when they were attacked by Daniel Wade Taylor and Mark Jones. Both Taylor and Jones received life sentences and will not be eligible for parole until 2034.
    Here is the lead up to the detained 7 people accused of vigilante stings

    From the local article.

    . At least six Perth school boys and one girl have been charged over an elaborate scheme to try and catch pedophiles using the dating app Grindr.

    9News understands that up to ten students created a fake profile on the social networking app to lure older men to parks and mug them.

    The three robberies took place last weekend at parks in the Scarborough area.

    When the men arrived they were allegedly mugged by the gang, and on one occasion a victim was allegedly assaulted.

    Sources have told 9News the teens were operating on the belief that they were delivering some sort of vigilante justice.

    The teenagers, all aged between 15 and 17, attend the same Western Suburbs high school and so far at least seven of them have been charged, with possibly more to come.

    They'll face Perth Children's court next month.

    Why do they keep using the word 'vigilante'? I don't think it fits in that context.

    Some apps give a lot of your info including where you're location. Which is scary. I stay away from apps like that.
    These kids are so young to be committing crimes like this but I guess age really doesn't matter.

    This is interesting though and I'd like to follow it. Ty for posting this. 😌

    Australia, WA in particular, is really big on framing hate crimes as "vigilante attacks" instead of admitting their citizens are targetting people for violent assault based on their race or LGBTQ status.

    That might not be the case here, maybe this guy really believed he was meeting up with a child, but the cases like this in WA last year sounded a lot more like gay hate than they did child protection.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. A lot of what has been posted on here lately and labeled as "vigilante" is really some asshole beating the shit out of someone who is a different race or sexual orientation.

    Also, even if these crimes supposedly happened, we have a court system to deal with it. Vigilantism is not something to be admired. If everyone decides to "take justice into their own hands" everyone is going to be in danger of being beaten or killed in today's Trumpy society where everyone hates everyone else who doesn't look/act just like they do, and who thinks different races/sexual orientation are always up to something criminal.

    They lured him to that location to rob him, that's not vigilante justice.

    In Canada there was a similar scandal involving "vigilantes"

    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4...l-disabilities

    https://bc.ctvnews.ca/creep-catchers...cate-1.3172215

    Creep Catchers leader Ryan LaForge tried to play "this is hero blaming" card but LaForge got sued and was proven guilty in a Canadian court for violating the rights of mentally disabled people targeted in the stings.

    I think most of these so -called vigilantes are big bullies that need attention and want someone to hero worship them and tell them what an awesome job they are doing. Nothing more.
