A Global Television Network report identified the group responsible for Forcand's arrest as a "self-described Internet vigilant group called Anonymous" who contacted the police after some members were "propositioned" by Forcand with "disgusting photos of himself". The report also stated that this is the first time a suspected Internet predator was arrested by the police as a result of Internet vigilantism.[67]

Wow, I'm really suprised to see so many people posting positive responses about how they deserve it.
I know people might not like revolution muslim at all and stuff, which is understandable.
But they have a point and south park doesn't.
What south park is doing is comparable to a white person walking into an all black neighborhood and yelling the n-word outloud.
(kind of what bruce willis was doing in die hard in harlem) Except no body is forcing them to deface mohammad, and they aren't doing it to save lives.
These south park guys are making a huge mistake. They should know better.\
Some things you just shouldn't do in life, and this is one of them.
They could be killed?, for a laugh?
Teaching young, impressionable people that this is o.k. is suicidal.
I don't think they are going to make it out of this neighborhood alive, unfortunately, especially because they just walked into a neighborhood where they don't belong, and know nothing about.
I'm really suprised, is this what you call denying ignorance?

You made a broad judgment when you said that everything we know about Islam is what we learned on tv. I know all about Islam and it's nothing more than a moon god worshiping cult.
