Desirae, hon, can you hear what you just said?,"The only crime these men committed was the attemp in having sex with a minor." They tried but failed so they get off? We can't do anything till they ruin some innocent child's life in ways most of us here at PC can personally relate to?

PJ and Dateline have done judo on them. Used their own initiatives against them. If they weren't cruising they wouldn't have come upon the decoy. And if they were decent people, it wouldn't matter how old the poster was or what he or she posted, a decent person would not "go there" into the sex talk and further to set up a sexually charged meeting.

The second they set their sights on a kid, they are fair game in my book.

The beer/alcoholism analogy doesn't fly with me. An alcoholic tries to destroy their own soul. A pedophile goes for the innocent soul of another. (But, you notice, cops can stop anybody they even think is driving while impaired from alcohol.)
