Michigan prosecutor tells vigilante to stop chasing predators
State authorities are telling a metro Grand Rapids man who confronts suspected sexual predators to stop what he’s doing, saying “vigilante activity will not be tolerated.”
“I strongly urge the public to leave this work to career professionals,” a Wednesday statement from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel read in part.

Why don’t they charge him with impersonating a police officer, as this is clearly a function of the police and law enforcement officers, not the public? A few arrests and jail time may change his mind, furthermore, vigilante justice is illegal! Perhaps they really wish for him to continue as, thus far, they have taken no legal action against him. Suppose this continues and more people start doing the same thing, goodbye to the registry!
If the judge doesn’t want the public to be vigilantes then don’t tell them to be. Because when they release the names to the public of people on the registry with no instructions as to what that list is for what is the public supposed to think there supposed to do. They don’t know but that there supposed to shoot them on sight or follow them or call the police or throw something at them or spit on them. By releasing the names addresses and all there personal information they are just giving the public the idea its open season on them ,just do what you want to them, and there families.
” They told him to stop ” LOL.
Yea, sorry but that guy looks like he is not going be stopping anything anytime soon. He looks both crazy and determined.
Plain and simple …. the guy is a bully. The law of averages being what they are, one day they will catch up with him.
What needs to “catch up with him” is something traveling faster than the speed of sound.
I m 70. I pray that this guy comes after me. Time to show this punk what a real beat down is.
I was thinking the same. You can call me whatever name you want, but once you put your hands on me, I will be on you like a Pittbull on a Poodle. That stunt he pulled with trying to strip away that man’s car keys from his own hands will not go well with some people including myself.
I would venture to say that this individual (and many like him) are so “motivated” to waste so much time and energy into hunting these people because these people are doing exactly what these so called vigilantes are doing themselves. True most of the time…especially with REAL law enforcement!
They should take a good long look in the mirror and then seek therapy!
Maybe he should be on a registry. At least investigated.
As long as the General public has access to the registry there are going to be vigilantism by sickos that think they are better than any one else. They point fingers and have three pointed right back at themselves.
The prosecutor told him to stop. What a joke! Stopping him involves prosecutors doing their jobs by putting him in jail and in jailers putting him in solitary confinement.
