Fox should do an episode on WHY youtube dislikes predator channels cause this doesnt just happen to Tommy.

[danlincoln]

It's really a shame because Tommy exposed so many bad people and who cares whether he made money or not

[stevegilmore]

I just think he’s an average, human being who’s got his own issues like we all do. He isn’t perfect but keeping in mind what he’s trying to do for the community/future of our kids, guy needs a break.

[Crismodin]

I love how the police are like "it's a way for him to make money" - really? Catching online predators is a lucrative lifestyle? He's at least doing something useful.

[OEF_Vet_]

Then the cops need to be doing this crap. Someone needs to be out there catching predators.

[Colevid]

What’s more of a threat to y’all? Tommy or people out there seeking out our children? Leave the guy alone

[brianwilson]

3:40 He excuses himself attacking someone cause they came to him accusing him of doing



Does he not realize that's what he does to everyone else???

[eyes_wide_open_for_you]

Coke and Energy drinks has destroyed Tommy. His nick name is a 2 rails

[ubiquitousbiscuit]

dude talks like narcissistic sociopath

[ghostmask]

For a guy who catches online child predators, it's crazy that he has his own criminal record of child abuse😭💀

[bgregg]

Oh trust me...if there's no money in it he'll stop. Last year, he was busted trying to claim status as a nonprofit business.

Welcome to America, where you can protect yourself ONLY if you are a cop. 🤦🏽‍♂️🇺🇸🙏🏽

I am 10000% in favor of catching pedos. However, Tommy is not it. I’ve been watching him and other channels since they started but I always knew Tommy was way too rough around the edges to be doing that stuff. When the police said only 1 of all his catches was being prosecuted, it told me everything I needed to know. The point is to catch these pedos and jail them, not let them off because of terrible prosecuting. Tommy is super messy with his tactics. I hope more channels pop up but more like Chris Hansen and not like Tommys.

[roaxslayer]

He didn’t do no child abuse lol wow people hating on a guy that was helping kids unbelievable how anyone can hate him

[williamstriumph]

They hate these channels because they're afraid cops, and someone important might get exposed.

[bluntforcetrauma]

So what if he’s making money from it. I hope he makes a fortune.

[Gwazi]

I used to respect Tommy a lot but this tool caught an innocent person one time and that’s just unacceptable

[Texasdanger]

Fox 31 really has a hard on for this guy. Sure he begs for money, but what are you doing to protect children, Fox 31?

[campbellmarty]

I figured he’d A$$ around lose his channel!!!☝️🙄 he is in this for the money and Take away the YouTube money? You’ll NEVER see him with a camera running around again!!!

I wish you (ie the media) spent as much time/effort exposing the deviants that are going after the kids in Co. as you do trying to take this man & his team down : ( Tommy & team have exposed some truly evil folks & probably saved potential victims.
