Seriously, I’d buy the bullet and pull the trigger. She was 11 years old.

I’d suggest you let justice take its course;

Oh, you mean in the way that he was in and out of prison like spinning in a
turnstyle?

it may transpire that this guy
was/is unstable in some way. Even if he does turn out to be 100% ‘evil’,
killing him after the event will accomplish nothing.

Wrong. Stops him from ever doing it again.
| |
Understanding “why” would
accomplish more.
|
What is it with you Liberals? What is there to understand? Evil is evil.
Stop trying to understand it and start doing something about it!

Vigilantism (and the death penalty) has no place in civilised society. One
should only take a life when there is no other option.
|
If there is no other option, is killing then somehow “civilized”? How many
people does a wretch like this need to kill before you lose your civility?
Is incarcerating a human for his natural life necessarily “civilized”? Is
allowing a monster to keep his wretched life while he showed no such mercy to
an innocent little girl “civilized”? What you should have said is that
evil has no place in civilized society.
Dave is spot on in his complete and utter outrage at this unspeakable crime!
“Do unto others”. I only wish he could be tortured before his execution.

Well, I did start the post with
“

”
See, when the emotions get involved, can one really make a rational decision
where life is concerned.
I don’t know what’s the right thing to do. If given a gun and this guy in a
room, I’d kill him. But would that be Just? I dunno.
Anyway, let the conversation go on without hte tirades of Dave.
