I mean sure, but people are often wrong. Maybe some other dude is home, maybe it's the wrong house. Maybe someone is on a sex offender list because at some point they were 18 while their girlfriend was 17, Peed in public and someone saw it. Whatever the fuck.

The fact you have to censor the name of a crime is fucking stupid.

It’s to get around word filters. People who are traumatized set up these filters so they don’t get triggered. The stars get around that.
It’s not stupid. It’s people being mean.
What’s stupid is, a screenshot (image of text) wouldn’t be filtered anyway.

Do these registries even list the crime they committed, or did he just not know whether he was hammering child rapists or people who peed in public?

I've always wondered that about this story.
Did he go for 100% sleazeball child rapists, or was it just a random selection off the sex offender registry?
Because there are a lot of different ways to end up on that list.

Yes they do. At least in the US, the registry will explicitly state the nature of the crime and if it was against a minor.

I don't think vigilante justice is acceptable, but i do find it unacceptable that vigilantes get locked up while criminals go free.

This guy is a criminal.

If there's even a hint of doubt, I'd rather let someone guilty walk free than put an innocent person in jail.

Yes, but there are a lot of known criminals sleeping comfy in their lofts and mansions.

To answer what everybody's asking, here's the least bad one:
Barbosa was convicted of a charge brought in 2014 of possession of child pornography, according to the sex-offender registry.
So you know... get hacked, get smashed with a hammer 12 years later.
