    I don't give a crap, someone with those urges shouldn't be alive.

    Even when not acted on? Even when they find themselves having those urges through no making of their own? That is an innocent person.

    What did they do to deserve death, except to live?

    No you haven't protected her, however you may have protected other children he may come along.

    I know if anything like that happened to any of my boys, I WOULD kill. Many mothers would. In some cases the molester doesn't even go to prison, so what's best have him out on the streets to abuse more children or to put a stop to it?

    From what I understand, the 15 yr old boy lay on top of his sister. There was no penetration. The child then went to his mother in an attempt to get help (as children are often encouraged to do by their parents). The mother contacted his father, who then came home, marched his son at the point of a shotgun into a parking lot despite the pleading of his mother, forced him to strip, and then gunned him down.

    If this is what occurred, then the father is cold-blooded murderer, and I hope he gets punished to the full extent of the law.

    yes, i would be tempted to, but would i? no, nobody i know would be better off by me killing the child molester. jailing them seems to me like a far worse fate in many ways... chances are he or she won't even survive the jail anyhow.

    how about a friggin link to a news story in the starter post?

    this is a bad story no matter how you look at it. in other cases and depending on the offender i can see the death penalty given but this was something different.

    maybe its good that the offspring of such an idiot doesnt get to live on, and in the process the another idiot gets put into jail

    maybe the father was like those extremely anti-gay republicans who are secretly gay...

    i doubt it, since i've seen cases of things like this in my near vicinity (and myself, albeit i was a little boy and the other party was something like a 15 year old girl - i thought it was weird at the time, but that's all). it only leaves lasting marks if they are encouraged to feel like a victim. people overvictimize way too much for drama's sake.

    Sure, I would kill him... but not in a way I would get caught

    Absolutely.


    It is immoral for a man not to defend his family, and his family's dignity.

    I think I could, but that doesn't mean that I would.
    Some would defend the dignity, and honour of their family by killing the daughter who 'let herself' get molested, or raped. Honour killings are stupid, and do not reinstate the dignity.

    That's a stupid way to see the situation.

    Yet, in this case there truly is a wrongdoer and truly a way to defend your family. Thus the only moral action is to defend your family and your family's dignity, lest you become an immoral man.

    Of course I would kill the son of a bitch, but that's why laws should be in place to prevent me from doing that.

    Not that. The law should allow you to, since it's simply justice anyway.

    No, it's wrong for society to tolerate violence that isn't in the name of self defense. Plus, I would torture him in hideous ways, so it's wouldn't really be justice, it would be revenge. No one who believes in limited government should allow their government to make the same decision.

    Revenge is a part of justice.

    Eye for an eye.

    If we kill every sick person and everyone who breaks the laws; we end end up with an empty world !........ Let the police and the courts do their works .

    No it's not. Revenge is personal. Revenge cannot be impartial or fair.

    Just like it gets personal when someone attacks your family one way or the other.

    Justice isn't supposed to be "impartial"; it's OK if it's personal. Heck, even better.

    And it is fair: an eye for an eye. It's balanced.
