The more I think about it I feel the documentary's been made to absolve the group of their feelings of guilt. Because let's face it: Magnotta's arrest was done with pretty much no involvement from them. He wasn't even found guilty of the cat/dog crimes. He left behind a ridiculous crime scene and every piece of incriminating evidence he could've done (perhaps because he wanted, or a part of his mind wanted, to be caught), was using his own name abroad in booking hotels... he would've been caught without this group's work. And the more I consider this, the more I find myself appalled by the documentary's tone; that it was some supposed vigilante Facebook group that "knew what he was going to do" but... did next to nothing in actually stopping him. Because it's easier to blame the police and say they weren't taken seriously.

...I have to say that the lack of police involvement, didn’t sit right with me from the off either...that it all felt more like it was becoming an Internet game to some in the group...for others, they were just piling their hate on top of his...we’re going to do this to you/we’re going to do that to you etc...when that older guy got the a alert in the middle of the nigh5 or early hours of the morning..?...it almost felt like he was feeling excitement...this was the moment he had been waiting for...
...but then the whole ‘cat and mouse game’ thing was what Luka had skilfully and sickeningly created...build it and they will come, is so true, sadly...
