Please hear me out before judging my point of view. I will start by saying that what they are doing is completely and utterly wrong and they must be brought to justice.
My point is that although these people are causing so much negativity in this world with their actions we shouldn't be so quick to add to that negativity with our reactions. We do know what they are doing but we don't fully understand why they are doing it. It could be because they faced some of the same abuses as children themselves. It could be because they too grew up in a system trying to break them down and deceive them from the truth. It could be something to do with their brain chemistry that makes them sick and perverted, or emotionless psychopaths.
Whatever the case may be we need to handle the situation as peacefully as we can. If you were doing these horrible things and everyone was calling for your head on a platter would you be willing to go peacefully or would you try to fight it with all of the power that you had at your disposal? We know that our prison system as it is doesn't rehabilitate troubled people but only exasperates their problems. These people do need to be locked away from society but we can make their incarceration a more healing process than a condemning one.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and these people are some of the weakest links if not the absolute weakest in our chain of society. If these people are sick and troubled then we are all sick and troubled and the only way to get better is to take care of each and every person as best as we can, including those involved in pizzagate.

the words 'compassion ' and ' empahty ' when it comes to pedophilia and pedophiles does not sit well at all with normal people. What can be done is use the rule of law , no vigilante groups , and common civility. However , most people feel that if they are not brought to justice , the pedophiles are marked people. Sooner or later they will get caught. I've know personally 2 people , parents , that killed the pedophile(s) that went after their respective little kids. I can't say I blame them. Unfortunately , that caused the parent(s) to go to prison. I understand, though, what drove them to such drastic steps. When you mess with little kids , the most innocent of society , the most helpless of humankind , well , us grown ups don't and( rightfully so) won't abide them being victimized, traumatized, and even murdered at the hands of the sexual deviant that decided to make the children their victims.

Did you not read what I wrote? In the first line I specifically wrote that they need to be brought to justice. You are stating that children are the most helpless of humankind and I've got a newsflash for you, we were all children once including these pedophiles. If they too were abused as children then don't they deserve some kind of sympathy at the very least?

No. I don't have sympathy for pedophiles. None. They choose to do what they do. They have more accountability if they had been victims of sexual abuse as a child. They have first hand knowledge of the lifetime devastation to the soul it perpetuates. I do feel for their suffering they will go through in the next life though for the victims they caused in this one.
