Treviso, they lured pedophiles to massacre and rob them: sentenced to six years

They have them condemned (and we should say “rightly”, because justice has nothing to do with executioners) to six years, three months and ten days in prison. They are boys, kids: one of them is even a minor (the sentence, for him, is different and falls to the juvenile judiciary), the other two are twenty and nineteen. Between June 2022 and February 2023 they have kidnapped, beaten and robbed eight men: homosexualsor with homosexual tendencies, certainly interested in meeting up with children and very young people.

This is why they ended up in the trap. Orchestrated in style To catch a predator (which is a docu-fiction byNBC American still available on Youtube): with one of the three who lured them into gay chats, said he was thirteen, then lured them to isolated farmhouses or areas out of reach of the city and at that point the others arrived. Who threatened (even with weapons), kidnapped, robbed and, if necessary, fought.

In the province of Treviso, between Vedelago and Campigo, in Castelfranco. When the police caught them, it was last February, they had taken a 50 year old employee, they had just tied him up and stunned him using a taser, they had taken away his car keys and his ATM. One of the three boys was about to go to a counter and withdraw something. “We did it to do good for society and to put an end to this plague,” they said afterwards. After the arrest, after the investigation, after the summary trial. According to the defense it would be «difficult to distinguish the profiles of the victims from those of the executioners. Our clients are immature young people, but not bad kids.”

But that’s not the point. Because it’s true, a pedophile, someone who preys on innocent children, is an asshole and remains an asshole. There’s no doubt about this. And yet the rule of law is not one State of revenge, and it is not even a state in which a private citizen (or three, including a minor) proclaims himself the executioner of the weak. At most this is chaos. The eight victims of the three kids, in fact, and victims all in all, yes, it is legitimate to speak in this case, have already been compensated. Half of them (i.e. four people) renounced the right to become a civil party; two in fact became untraceable (unable to obtain compensation, a donation was made in their name to some voluntary associations). The defendants were admitted to the distributive justice process.
