You know why you saw them as losers? Because that's what they were. What kind of faggot walks into a 13-year-old's house he met online expecting things to be "ok"? You would say "they were asking for it", but in reality that's the same thing as what happens with the Nigerian Prince scams. They send retarded shit over the e-mail because they know that only the retardedest of idiots will ever even consider the possibility that this is real.
What you were watching was the Darwin Awards of pedophiles. And sure as hell they're fucking imbeciles, what else do you expect of someone who prances into a wolf's maw? They're the derelict slobs of humanity, the bottom of the food chain, ready to get eaten up by Hansen and his joyful showknights.
But just like in the rest of humanity, there are tiers and tiers. There are pedophiles at the top of the food chain, offering kids as little treats, and there are those at the middle and aaaalll the way down to the sewer, where the pathetic rats you saw live.
