From that you can lay a portion of the blame on both parties because the guy was a fault for going this far but at the same time the journalists are at fault for essentially providing peer pressure and pushing a guy to do something that he might never have done in the first place and they did that in the form of providing a 15 year old girl on the internet that was most likely pushing this guy to meet up or make sexual advances.
Do people see what I'm saying now?
Simply doing something like this does not prove what the guys original intentions were. Though we have to wonder seeing as this guy was in the right place at the right time to find a 15 year old girl.
Also am I the only person in the fucking world that doesn't Immediately start shouting "Shoot the dirty fucking pedo scum, castrate him" the second I see videos like this. Am I the only person able to take a step back and think about things objectively? I seriously fucking hope not otherwise I really have just lost faith in humanity.
it really doesnt make a lot of difference, in your example if the person actually did stab and murder the other person they've still murdered someone. They'd still be punished for it. Whilst in most cases i think tricking someone into somethhing like this is wrong, there are cases where it is for the greater good of everyone for it to be done. I think this is one of those cases.
also its worth saying, the examples arent the same. in this case the guy was not pressured into anything and he truly believed he was talking to a 15 year old. The only difference is when he went to meet her, she wasnt there... admittedly it is a very awkward feeling you get, but that is only because you know hes been caught and that the consequences are very serious for him.
