Thread: Would You Accept a Murderer?

There are more justifications than self-defense. I believe revenge is justified in extraordinary cases. Some people simply must die.

There was a case a while back where a father discovered that his kid's karate instructor was molesting him. One morning, as the molestor was walking out of his school, the father pulled a gun on him and shot him dead. He remains a convicted murderer, but the judge granted extreme leniency in sentencing, and the father walks the street today.

Of course, there are the obvious problems of one person playing judge, jury, and executioner. Hence, why people should not just be shooting each other over everything. Now, I may not agree with what this father did...but I can certainly understand why he did it.

That is defense in case of the child. Unwanted aggression was enacted, defense was used. I would consider that self-defense, in a way.

That's pretty much my point.

There are natural consequences for every action. Harming someone's kid and having the parent come after you is one of those natural consequences. You have every right to impose those natural consequences.

And Mario...you're telling me child molesters deserve to live? I think lethal injection is too kind.

I'm agreeing with you, Mini. If it was me, I'd bash their skulls in with blunt objects.

So what about the case where the murder isn't justified by some means? Say a scenario like Mr. Brooks. For those who haven't seen the movie, he kills people because he feels like he's addicted to murder.

Your loved one comes to you asking for help with their addiction. Will you help them? How?

I would disown his ass, change my name, and move far, far away.

I would first find a shrink, a nice padded room somewhere, and a plane ticket, so I could send him to beautiful Hawaii. Then I change my name and move far, far away.

Absolutely not. Such a scenario would necessitate lifelong psychiatric treatment ala John Hinkley.
