TL:DR

Okay, so, Calgary PD sayin' some ppl were catfishing on dating apps as teens, then beatin' up the dudes who showed up. Now *everyone's* gettin' charged. It's a whole mess, and the cops are side-eyeing if hate was involved. Vigilante vibes are a NO-GO, says the law.

The 411

Yo, check it. Calgary's got a situation. Apparently, some squad was out here playin' vigilante, allegedly posing as underage peeps on dating apps. When some dudes showed up tryna link, they got jumped. Like, baseball bats and fake guns were involved. Straight outta a movie, fr fr.

Now, the cops are throwin' charges left and right. Three 18-year-olds (Reyad Said Abunada, Alexander Roddick), a 19-year-old (Devon William Hickey), and one mystery teen are gettin' hit with aggravated assault, weapon charges, and mischief. Plus, that 19-year-old is also lookin' at robbery with a firearm AND disguise with intent. Sus, much?

But wait, there's more. The dudes who got jumped – David Patrick Watkins (68), Victor Gonzales Villanueva (38), and Jonathan Rosete (33) – aren't walkin' away clean either. They're gettin' charged with child luring and invitation to sexual touching. Double yikes.

The police are like, "This ain't it, chief." They're saying vigilante justice is a major L and that they need to be called instead. They're also investigating if this whole thing was fueled by hate. The investigation started when one of the alleged victims snitched, and now the cops are finding receipts (aka video evidence) on phones. Everyone's got court dates coming up. Stay tuned, this saga is far from over.
