Don't get too caught up in the thread title please. :]
Say you're a well-meaning person who stays out of trouble and is a decent person.
You read on the news that a young girl was raped and murdered and they're still looking for the bastard.
Stories like this make an otherwise nice guy feel psychotic and want to hunt down and kill rapists and child molesters.
But wait. Is that feeling so crazy? Is it unreasonable to feel that way, or to enact upon it?
Deep down I suspect more than a few people would pull the plug on these evil bastards if they knew they were evil and could get away with it.
Obviously this messageboard is anonymous, and a good one at that. That being the case, I feel like venting some of my emotions a bit, because I had the misfortune of reading a few articles this week involving innocent child and adult victims, and I am still seething, quietly and in a controlled manner.
I hate anyone who would hurt a child. I hate anyone who would sexually assault or abuse or hurt innocent people. I hate them and would want them preferably dead if known to be guilty, or locked away or put to work.
Yes, this drags in the whole ethics thing and morality and religion [which I do not believe in], and other things. Then you'd also have the family members of said child molesters and rapists getting in the way and having to be nullified [i.e. make them have no impact while not hurting them whatsoever].
And then there's the rights issue, even though rights are imaginary things as summed up by one George Carlin.
Long story short, who else can honestly resonate how they really feel about these people who rape, molest, abuse, and murder others? If anything I would bet my bottom dollar that a whole hell of a lot of people feel the same or even moreso, but are better at keeping those honest [and really, there's nothing wrong with it] feelings concealed. In a way it sort of reminds me of the Dexter series, but this is a tad different, in that I'd simply want these bastards put down quickly and cleanly, instead of his messy and sadistic way.
I just have had enough of hearing children and men and women being brutally murdered, raped, abused, etc. It eats at you after a while, sort of like a corrosive acid in the thin layer of your skin. This is honestly how I feel at the moment, and my thinking is likely cloudied a bit from anger and sadness reading in detail what happened to these innocent victims. I'm going to @ a couple members too to get this ball rolling and hopefully get a better, more rational, and less emotional perspective on this.
