    They should be visiting clergy members in churches, that’s where the pedos really are.

      Didn’t read it, did you?

      "Investigators have connected a member of the “pedo hunt” gangs to the attempted murder of a far-right Christian preacher, who was stabbed repeatedly in front of his congregation. "

        No, I didn’t. The church is full of sexual predators, no reason to read more about it.

    If I were queer and single, I would not trust Grindr at this point. I have heard way too many stories of people being tricked into being attacked by bigots via Grindr.

    I know loneliness is a huge problem in this world for many of us, but stay safe out there my friends.

      Idk, from what I’ve heard it’s a pretty successful and easy way to hook up.

      Or at least take a pocket knife or something. Knives for self defense are generally not the best because people tend to end up hurting themselves with them, but just pulling a knife out could be enough to scare off a group of scumbag teenagers.

        If you don’t know how to fight with a knife, that’s a good way to get your knife stuck into your gut.

          Well the idea is that it wouldn’t come to that. It’d be better to have a knife and hopefully scare the teenagers off than have them beat you to death.

    I feel like there’s a point where “trend” is the wrong word to use here…certainly not “tiktok trend”.

      Maybe read the article next time? You missed the part where they’re not actually going after pedophiles. They’re luring gay people on Grindr and then gang up and attack these people and force them to say they’re pedophiles on camera so they can share it on social media.

      This is the exact opposite of going after pedophiles.

      If you wanna catch a pedophile, do it with the police. These kids are just preying on people and hoping to go viral.
