Oh dear. This is getting way too complicated. All I'm saying is that if I knew that someone harmed my child in such a manner, I would absolutely in all good conscience consider taking that person's life with no concern of the consequences, meaning that I wouldn't care what happened to me after the fact, in this world or the next.
Banquo pretty much answered this question for me.
No, we can't have parents going around killing people who they think have harmed their children - not in a civilized society. But, if someone were to harm my kids, I really don't give a rip about society.

I'm not going to read through this entire thread but the truth of the matter is that there are a huge number of very sick people and their victims out there. It would make your blood boil and whatever else you could say about it if folks actually knew the number or that some folks you thought were nice, friendly, harmless, worked with kids, loved kids were sick bastards who wanted nothing more than to have gratification, control, secrets to ruin a young child's or even worse, children' lives and where those victims, if they survived by not killing themselves would have a difficult time having healthy relationships later.. Many of these molesters started as victims themselves at one time or another. Sadly, many victims knew and trusted this people, and worse, the folks who were actually suppose to look out for them, their parents, trusted or didn't pay full attention or read the signs, didn't stand up and say something.
They say folks like that can't control their urges and they can't help themselves. In my mind, there is no hope to rehabilitate these folks and let them back out into society. Watching To Catch a Predator where these folks from the clergy, coaches, military, police, every walk of life and some folks who would be stoned to death if back in their countries, and some driving thousands of miles, really made me sick to my stomach-and these folks are every where. I only hope that some better people then them in prison do the right thing and kill these mofos , once they are found out.
Me and my neighbour have lot of guns.If we see anyone looking like molester,we shoot.Do not worry.
Considering it is one thing. I've considered lots of things. I've considering going after the guys who picked on me and tormented me as a kid. But if and when you do consider the consequences you sometimes have a second thought. No?
If I was in a situation such as the one you suggest I might think about it for a minute but then I would realize that ultimately such actions(me killing the perp)would not be in my best interest. That said if I found out the perp was killed or harmed in any way I would not feel bad about it.
[But, if someone were to harm my kids, I really don't give a rip about society. ]
As was suggested earlier this could explain the rise in crime these days. Just wondering as a third party citizen(that is to say someone not involved in anyway shape or form not even related to a victim or perp)what is your opinion of someone who engages in revenge crimes? Another way of putting it might be do we have the right to take the law into our own hands?
It's unfortunate with appeal after appeal, ton's of public money spent, and years in jail awaiting it, the Death Penalty is not really what most folks who are in favor of, is what it should be; a fairly quick and low-costing death and deterrent to others and a sense of justice carried out for the victims and their families.
I'm sorry if I misspoke.
If it's not an uncontrollable urge, then it's deliberate, calculated act, which I dare say would then make it sociopathic. I would say that murderous sociopath - even one who only acts upon those he believes to have behaved feloniously towards himself or his family, is probably worse for society than a child molestor, but that's just my opinion. I do think there are many sides to the issue, and to criminal behavior in general. It's easy to be judgemental. It's much harder to engage in dispassionate analysis.
Well then stop acting like a bratty little cub scout and we'll leave you alone.
