Personally, I think Chris Hansen has been divorced from reality for a very long time. Maybe this "To Catch a Predator" movie will make more people question Chris Hansen's motivations and actions.

Mind you, I'm not saying he's done some good. But how it's been accomplished should be questioned. Even do-gooders should be accountable.

    A lot more people need to be aware of how Chris Hansen has a lot more in common with Jake Gyllenhaal's Nightcrawler than he does with this hero image of being a pedophile hunter.

    I witnessed the Onision saga in real time back in 2019 and it is very, very clear that Hansen does not give a fuck about anything but money and his reputation - which he somehow routinely sets on fire like a dumbass. The word "grifter" was invented for people like him.

    I think he does alright given he works with law enforcement, vs the guys doing it for YouTube views. My bigger issue with him is how he feels like dropping his name to the predators is this big event like he's this larger than life being. Basically he feels like a narcissist.
