Christ, you guys. Why has this thread turned into an argument between
bloodthirsty Punisher wannabes, and Pedo sympathizers?
Here, let me break it down for you:
Pedophilia
is BAD. People who molest children are fucked up in the head, and
deserve to be punished/treated for their crimes. Chemical castration,
long prison terms, social ostracism, fair game.
Murder is BAD.
Killing someone in self defense or defense of others is one thing, but
going out and gunning a person down in cold blood AFTER your son has
been rescued doesn't do anything to undo the damage caused by the
molestation. If anything, it makes things worse because A) Now the kid
risks losing his dad too. B) It teaches the kid that violence is an
appropriate response to painful situations. C) It shows the kid that
his father is not in control of his emotions, leaving him feeling
isolated and alone, unable to cope with the trauma. How can he turn to
his dad for comfort when he sees that the man's reaction is violence?
He's probably terrified of his father now.
Also, we have laws
for a reason. What if tomorrow it turned out that they got the wrong
guy? What if the man was schizophrenic and would never have touched a
kid again with proper medication? What if every time someone did
something to make a person angry, it was considered okay for them to go
out and shoot the object of their hatred in the face? Different people
have different standards of moral decency; a white man whose daughter
starts dating a black man might feel justified...if not OBLIGATED to
"protect" his child by shooting the black man. In that guy's fucked up,
racist head it's the only way to protect his daughter, and if she
protests it's only because he used his voodoo magic to brainwash her.
An extreme example, but it shows how slippery a slope condoning
vigilantism is. |
