The Predator Catcher Community - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

OP got me interested in this guy Cody Mattingly and his doings. I went and watched an almost 3 hour video and took notes, I'm here to share those notes and thoughts with you. I have some thoughts about Mr. Mattingly himself that I will save for the end of this post.

I'm not smart enough to compress the video any further from where it's at because all the online converters I find wont take a file thats 491 MB without paying for it so I have provided a Mega link for archival purposes.


To set the stage our video starts in a non-descript hotel lobby, Cody approaches Ricardo the pedophile and convinces him to go up to the hotel room.

People v Preds #144
6:35: Cody asks if the pedo has recently purchased property, pedo says no, Cody accuses him of lying immediately because he owns property. This is him establishing dominance and he is desparate to catch the pedo in a lie right away. The thing is the pedo didn't say he owns no property he answered no to the question that was asked - poor form on Cody's part and disgusting in my opinion because he cackles at the idea of catching this guy in a lie. He implies that people will call the police if he talks too loud, as if that is a bad thing.
14 mins: Cody claims 5 catches in 24 hours
21 mins: Pedo says he would choke and tie up a 13 year old, "if she wanted it." Major Sargon vibes here. "It depends on the child." By this point the pedophile has admitted to everything and completely incriminated himself on video - no effort to contact police
-Pedophile works at Albertsons Distribution Center
27 mins: Cody gets pedophile to count to 38 - his age
29 mins: Cody tells pedophile to call his mom
33 mins: Cody asks the pedophile to run through a hypothetical situation. TCAP was edited but I highly doubt that Chris Hansen was conducting struggle sessions like this guy - call the fucking police already
40:50: quick onscreen grift
46 mins: Pedophile has demonstrated his submissiveness by sitting in the same spot and talking for 30+ minutes - Cody makes a statement saying "we could have had this done" demonstrating that he has no understanding of the concept of irony. CALL THE FUCKING POLICE
49:00: onscreen grift - chat logs start - pedophile has worked at Albertsons Distribution Center for 14 years - longer than the decoy has been alive
51 mins: phone rings, Cody tells pedophile to disconnect it - likely because this was live and the hotel was doxed. Which brings to question in this hypothetical why didn't any viewers start ringing the pigs?
56:20: onscreen grift - Pedophile gets his Deadpool costume out
59 mins: Pedophile admits once again that he wrote all the messages - Cody still does not call the police
1hr 3 mins: Cody threatens to call the police if he does not get a satisfactory answer to the question "what about this 13 year old calling you daddy do you like?" The first mention of the police being called into the situation by Cody and it's a threat to ensure compliance. If Cody gave a shit about what he was doing he would have had the police involved a long time ago.
1 hr 7 mins: Cody says the decoy is his sister - he does this all the time
1hr 9 mins: Pedophile tells True and Honest © tale of a time a different 13 year old came onto him and he told her parents
1 hr 12 mins: Going over crimes committed
1hr 15 mins: Pedophile cries like the bitch he is. Struggle session continues. Cody allows pedo to talk about himself to search for weakness. Pounces on family members and tells pedophile to call his brother.
1hr 20 mins: Pedophile calls brother - brother sounds disgusted - more crying
1hr 25 mins: Cody asks brother what should happen to Pedophile - response: an extremely long talk
1hr 28 mins: Cody has thoroughly roped the brother into the conversation and is dominating him in much the same way he does the pedophile
1hr 30 mins: Cody reads chat logs to brother
1hr 34 mins: Pedophile reveals he moved back home because his girlfriend broke up with him, he cries more and wallows in self pity.
1hr 39 mins: Hang up with brother
1hr 41 mins: Pedophile has a PS5
1hr 43 mins: Cody tells the pedophile to call the police on himself - finally after almost 2 hours in he wants to get police involved.
1:50:50 facial recognition
1hr 52 mins: Pedophile continues to be the submissive bitch he is by calling the non-emergency police line and telling them he wants to turn himself in. They then proceeded to put him on hold forever.
1hr 53 mins: Noted for conspicuous view of the pedophile's gay Marvel outfit. This is a 38 year old man wearing a Punisher jacket and belt. Disgusting
fagget.png

1:56:15 onscreen grift - Cody calls 911 - 2 hours later.
1hr 58 mins: Cody refuses to give his name and will only say he is People vs Predators.
2hr: Pedophile finally says I'm not talking to you anymore, then continues talking.
2:03:35 onscreen grift - Pedophile makes call in Spanish
2hrs 7 mins: Cody still eavesdropping Spanish call, slides his business cards under neighboring hotel room door.
2hrs 10 mins: fast forward section, the police sure are taking their time.
2:11:45 Pedophile says he is talking to his boss on the phone, the boss tells him to talk to a lawyer.
2hrs 14 mins: Cody conversationally dominates pedophile's boss while not even on the phone with him.
2hrs 18 mins: fast forward again - when we resume Cody seems to be trying to bait the pedophile into confrontation - laughs at him.
2hrs 21 mins: Cody brags to an old lady about his catch, gets congratulated.
2hrs 22 mins: Continues to try to bait the pedo into confrontation, pedophile is smart to this but maybe also just a bitch.
2hrs 24 mins: Cody brags to more hotel guests.
2hrs 27 mins: Police finally arrive! This was after a bunch of fast forwarding too so we have seen 2 1/2 hours but more time than that has elapsed. There is no excuse for that.
2:28:30 Pedophile in police car.
2hrs 29 mins: Cody arguing with police
2hrs 30 mins: Cody gets cop's badge number
2hrs 31 mins: Pedophile's car + chat log recaps.

The police never cuff the pedophile. Cody accuses them of driving him somewhere else to look good for the camera - fails to see that what he is doing is completely non-productive due to the dubious nature of the evidence and confession, but at least he got content!
----
The pedophile is an extremely submissive person which is ironic because in his chat logs he says he wants to tie up and choke a 13 year old. I guess that is what he thought a 13 year old who told him to take control wanted to hear - absolutely disgusting. He is so submissive in fact that he offers Cody to let him use the hotel room to conduct his sting operation. Occasionally though he will get upset by a question and answer with a passive aggressive mmhmm. I think it's funny to watch him try to exert any power he can over the conversation.

What sticks out the most to me is that he is an absolute composite portrait of the modern American liberal. This guy is decked out in Marvel apparel at 38 years old, he even brings his Deadpool costume with him. I just don't understand how you make it to 38 years old and never get married or have children and dress and act like this and think it is going to attract a woman. It's contemptible and people that act like this should be ridiculed.

It should be a huge red flag that someone is a pedophile if they dress like this and they are past their teens in my opinion. Just because it is the "normal" thing to do does not change my opinion.

#TradBeaner trying to fuck 13 year olds

Cody is not at all an eloquent speaker, he says dumb shit like "I would have a whole 'nother ballgame to fight." He rehashes the same points over and over again essentially conducting struggle sessions against these people for much longer than necessary instead of calling the police and letting them handle the issue. He is a verbally dominant narcissist who knows exactly what he is doing to extort these people into giving him content. He implicitly and explicitly uses threats to keep the pedophiles on camera.

I believe he enjoys doing what he does because he is a weak man with very little power in life, and putting himself in situations where he has the moral high ground and the means to dominate the conversation with a captive audience is the only way he feels in control. I also think he does this because naturally the people he catches are going to be degenerate beta males which he can easily dominate.

If I had to guess I would say that Cody is the kind of guy who has very few real friends that have stuck around in his life. He probably has lots of "friends" that enter his life and leave it quickly (after getting to know how insufferable he is.) He's glib and he loves the attention he gets. I would bet he would be happy to find us gossiping about him here on the Farms because it spreads his name, fame or infamy don't matter only notoriety.

These videos are really hard to get through because I just come out at the end feeling dirty. The whole thing is disgusting - the lack of professionalism, the stupid tactics that never result in convictions, and the insincerity of the catchers.
 
Cody/Josh/PvP seems to be insuferable as a person.
He's rude, snarky , vindicative, stubborn and narcissistic. He found a "job" where this flaws are celebrated.


He's not only rude to preds, he's also rude to their family members, cops, security guards and bystanders. If you don't say that you love what he is doing , he will be a dick to you.
Cody is agressive and relishes conflict. He secretly wants preds to jump on him and to turn the cameras off. As a far as I know he's the only pred catcher with pepper spray and a pocket knife.
Can't really verify this because it's lost media but some people alledge that he laughed when Catch 46 shot himself in the head.

I have to admit that he found the perfect niche for him tho. The guy is made for this kind of content. I don't remember the catch number but he caugh an old man which seemed just set on going back to his car and not say anything.
I don't know how exactly but he managed to make him talk for 30 minutes and call his wife when I am sure 99% of catcher would have failed.

He also doesn't care if he gets hurt. He will follow preds to their home/car. If he sees that a pred as a knife/taser he just keeps going and readies his pepper spray.

Edit: actually I found a perfect showcase for PVP.

The pred is awkward on the phone and when confronted refuses to talk and only answer with 2-3 words at the time. The pred also refuses to blink keeping his autismo stare and silence for 2-3 minutes. He then blinks and run away.

After that, Pvp manages to make him call his mom and makes him admit on camera that he's a pedophile. He then call the police and the preds ends up leaving with his mom. During the video Pvp is cunty towards the mom and he proposes to turn the camera off and agree to mutual combat so he can beat up the pred.

While these types don't exactly seem honest I'm not gonna shed any tears over this. Pedophiles should live in fear of the possibility of being caught.
Nobody is sympathizing with the pedophiles here. The problem is that obvious psychopaths like Ramy who don't actually give a shit about the safety of children are using "I'm catching pedophiles, I'm protecting kids!" as an excuse to enact their power fantasies on a socially acceptable target. Not to mention that all this retardation usually ends up with the nonces going free due to the various laws of due process the catchers have just broken. So in the end, we have a bunch of narcissistic grifters inadvertently helping child predators go free, and making a mockery of a serious issue. That is the problem.

Makes sense, especially considering the fact that most children aren't looking to date creepy niggas off the internet.
 
That is the problem.

Bro, bullying retards on the internet is free real estate. You could almost say A BUNCH of people think it is both entertaining, and a wholesome hobby. I appreciate you have concerns - but some of us are trying to have some fun here in a difficult situation. Police could troll 'tards for convictions themselves if they thought it was a valuable use of resources. I'm half glad they show pretense of having better things to do, and lets volunteers social-engineering vigilantism continue to exist. The courts are toothless. Social blasts effect greater changes.

For this thread personally I'm interested in archiving videos I find interesting. I wouldn't say the courts are toothless when these are crimes that can quite literally land the pedophile in prison. The reason the courts are ineffectual in this situation is because of the behavior of the catchers themselves. Allow me to present to you the latest Alex Rosen catch...


15 minutes in and Alex and his partner say the decoy followed the pedophile on Instagram. Alex has a history of catching registered sex offenders, a habit if you will. I will mine some examples soon but one that sticks out to me because he actually got an arrest and because it was a very long video was the RSO they caught in Oregon. There were news reports about it at the time.
39 minutes in the police arrive, Alex starts shit talking them immediately by criticizing their response time. They called the police and reported a commotion instead of an honest report when calling so they could get a faster response time.

Alex is a lot better at this than a lot of these younger catchers and he certainly has better comedic timing which is probably why he runs the most successful grift out of all of them. At least that's how it always seemed until I stopped following a few months ago.

All of that said though I have a theory. I think Alex Rosen's outfit PP might be mining the sex offender registry for content. Why would they have added this really trashy looking guy at random on Instagram? I have heard Alex say to pedos before that they see who follows and likes pictures of young children but I'm not sure I'm buying what he is selling. He catches a lot of RSO's. Just has me doing a big think.
 
It finally happened one of the pred hunters got shot. Don't know if bets were put down but it was bound to happen

Looks like it was DAP inc(the one with the catchy theme) that took a bullet in a leg

Police said two men from Fremont, Ohio, and one man from Marion, North Carolina — all connected to an Ohio-based group known as “Dads Against Predators” — were at the center of the incident.

According to Winston-Salem police, Jay Carnicom, 28, Joshua Mundy, 29, and Jason Chipps went inside the store to confront a 25-year-old man they had lured there by making him think he was meeting someone underage.

The group started filming the man, who then slapped a phone out of one of the “D.A.P” member’s hands, police said. That led to a fight, and the man fired his gun, hitting Carnicom in the leg. The group then took the man’s gun and ran.

According to the assistant chief of the Fremont Police Department, Carnicom went to a local area hospital to seek treatment for the gunshot wound.

The assistant chief said he wasn’t surprised when he got word the group was involved in the situation, adding that he has dealt with them for years. He said they have been banned from various grocery stores in Ohio because their meet-ups often turn into physical violence.

The assistant chief acknowledged that the group has brought awareness to a problem but said his department can’t condone its tactics.

FOX8 reached out to Mundy to get his side of the story. In a message, he could not go into details but that his group has been cooperating with the investigation and maintains they did not do anything wrong.

In a post on Mundy’s Instagram, he said he is “heavily considering retiring and removing myself from the field.”

Fremont police said Mundy and Carnicom do not have any past charges related to D.A.P activities.

Winston-Salem police have not filed any charges against the people involved and say this is still an active and open investigation.

It seems Big Ginger guy got shot in the legs at target(ironic to shop there and miss)

Also perfect timing because I juste spotted this video of Jay (the guy that got shot) fighting a pred


I am not saying he fought the traget Pred but he seems okay with having mutual combat with pred which even a retard like PvP doesn't do.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a good part of theirs catches are literally retarded.’

Most of these faggots are just bullies on a power trip who use the “MUH CHILDREN” as an excuse to catfish tards, who are too ugly and dumb to get anywhere near a teenager under normal circumstances. But naive enough to jump in with both feet when one of these pred catchers suddenly shows up in their DMs and is down to F.

It’s also a pretty decent grift, as their patreons and channels shows.

Don't be naive, although most of these mongs wouldn't get anywhere near a real child, they are nasty shut-ins who just talk sexual shit to whoever they can get to listen to them, which will inevitably be a real child sooner or later, they deserve the rope and I couldn't care less who wrangles them or bullies them.

There's an overrepresentation of some type of people.

-Gay men: They are more promiscuous and more likely to be okay with raping a child than a straight guy and obviously a female. Catchers know how easy it is so they use mainly grindr.
-Drug users
-People with mental illnesses, autism or retardation
-Ugly/old and ridiculous looking people/manlets
-Brown people /Strangers
-Coomers
-Unemployed/Poor/homeless people
-Rso, people working with children


Most preds fit at least in 3 categories.

There's been a bunch of local stings lately and practically all of them are complete retards who get caught. It's pretty enjoyable to see a person with obvious downs syndrome getting sat on by a bunch of skinheads who are calling him a cradlesnatcher, no matter how ethically fucked it is.
 
Just some screenshots to show how scummy some of those decoys are.

The tap is a way to show that you're interrested(🔥) without sending messages.
It could easily be argued that the decoy started the conversation by sending the tap.
Also notice how the decoy starts calling him daddy

The guy plainly says that he's uncomfortable because of the age, the decoys insist and then "daddy" ends the conversation.

The decoys finds him later and try to catch him again.
The flammes on the picture mean that you really really like this image1657720295762.png

After failling 3 times and 9 months , the pred finaly takes the bait.

You could argue that minors on the internet can be promiscuous and very pushy. While it is true, predator catchers are like this because they want to catch as much people as possible. Some catchers are able to find (meet and expose on video) a predator a day! While there are a ton of creep online those numbers are crazy.

They are at their worse however when the catch is a RSO or someone important. They are willing to do anything just to catch them. Using 3-4 decoys in a row to catch them, sometimes sending alledged cp and when the pred doesn't take the bait or just show up to their workplace/home to expose them.

That's what Hansen did to a judge and he shoot himself in the head.

That's not what happened I think. As the story went the guy arrived to meet with the bait but when he realized he was set up he shot himself in his truck or something. I know the guy was a political person of some standing but I don't remember what he was exactly, but he wasn't necessarily small time.

I could be wrong however, but I don't seem to recall anything shady on the original TCAP run because they knew about entrapment and waiting for the predators to make the first move to remain airtight.

From the wiki

Conradt's MySpace page[edit]​

According to Perverted-Justice members, content from Conradt's MySpace page began to disappear, leading them to believe that Conradt was covering up his tracks. This played a part in the decision of the authorities to pursue a warrant for Conradt's arrest. Chris Hansen mentioned the disappearing page on his blog and on air.[5] Esquire writer Luke Dittrich implies that the disappearing page pushed the participants to make an imminent move as, under Texas law, individuals may be charged with committing a crime if they participate in sexually explicit chats with persons identifying themselves as children.[4] Later investigation by Esquire revealed that Conradt's page had not been touched for months before the sting. Perverted-Justice members claimed that Conradt had other MySpace pages, but never produced the evidence to prove the allegation. Hansen later admitted to Esquire that he did not remember actually seeing the page.[6]
The official participants in the sting included Murphy police and the Terrell Police Department, including Terrell's SWAT team.[4]

Also in that footage is Frag, a member of Perverted-Justice, who is seen advising police on what to do next. Chris Hansen denied that Perverted-Justice was present, but recanted when Esquire was able to describe what Frag looked like.[4]

The warrants were signed shortly after 2 p.m.[7] By this time, police and Dateline had been on the scene for hours. In fact, Dateline had shown up as long as five hours earlier, and later records showed that neighbors had phoned in suspicious persons reports.[4]

According to the Esquire account (again, contested by Dateline) Dateline crewmembers notified police that they observed that a Sunday newspaper on Conradt's doorstep had disappeared, indicating that Conradt was actually home.[4]

Using the tip given to them by Dateline, the police made a decision to call in a SWAT team and perform a tactical entry. They feared that Conradt was aware of their presence and was now destroying evidence. The police broke the door's lock and swept through the house. They encountered Conradt in a hallway. According to the officers' account, Conradt said a variation of "I'm not going to hurt anyone," before shooting himself with a Browning .380 handgun.[4]

In most cases, To Catch a Predator lured suspected sex offenders with an actor or actress pretending to be a child, into a home that was wired with cameras and surrounded by police. Conradt's death led to a surge of criticism of the show, which had already been the subject of critical scrutiny by media ethicists who objected to the deception used in the production's sting operations, as well as NBC's close relationship with local law enforcement agencies in the various localities in which they took place.[8] [9] A year after the incident, Rolling Stone and Esquire published articles denouncing To Catch a Predator. Esquire obtained raw footage of the incident that contradicted Dateline's and host Chris Hansen's previous denials of the show's collusion with law enforcement officials.[4]

Hansen did not respond when The Houston Chronicle asked for comment about the Esquire article.[10]

Perverted-Justice founder Xavier von Erck called the Esquire article fiction.[10] He did not respond to the Esquire story's allegation or supporting evidence that Dateline and Perverted-Justice directed police actions in the Conradt case; rather, he reiterated his disgust for Conradt's behavior. In an email response to The Houston Chronicle, he wrote:

The idea that anything led to the suicide of Conradt other than his want to avoid potential penalties for soliciting a 13-year-old boy sexually is outlandish. We encourage all interested to read the Conradt chat-logs and verification call recordings. Once you do that, you then immediately know why Conradt shot himself rather than face the criminal justice system.[3]
I think it was the only catch were they actually went to the pred's home to catch him rather than luring him to the sting house.
He's the only pred that died during the sting while 3 other died awaiting their trials.

Yup it’s scummy as fuck. Keep offering pussy/ass often enough and hard enough and sooner or later someone will fall for their gayop.

“But think of the children!”

You mean the children who were never in any kind of danger, since the guy has self control enough to nope out multiple times?

This is why many cops don’t like this bs.

It accomplishes fuck all, except getting clicks and wasting time/money.

Also note the dehumanizing language. “The pred”. You mean the guy who wasn’t a predator until you needed one for your Patreon/clicks?


Makes sense, especially considering the fact that most children aren't looking to date creepy niggas off the internet.

Yup. You look at some of the pics that these tards send “the children” and you just LOL because it’s some fugly, creepy/obvious tard that no kid or teen would ever want to meet.
