One should never take the law into your own hands. That is why we have laws, court rooms, lawyers, prosecutors, judges....etc...
I personally cannot condemn the man nor do I encourage the actions that man took. However, if one of my love ones (Wife, kids, Family) was in any danger from a criminal. I would do anything in my power to stop that person.....and I do mean anything.
Then do you recognise that in doing anything, to the furthest extremes and for whatever reason, you are no exception to law?
If you go kill a man because he molested your kid, I personally think that's way too much. I understand the need to avenge or protect your family, but in doing so you have no right to then say "But I did it for good reasons!" and have people appeal for you. You did the crime, you should do the time.
As long as you accept that, your point of view is fine.

If that were to happen to me I would have that man arrested and make sure he is trial in a Justice court. But if I'm right there during the crime....there is no doubt in my mind I'm gonna grind his face to the floor. I seriously doubt I would control my rational mind in the heat of the moment. My rational mind says "One should never take the law into your own hands." But in a moment in which a love is danger from a criminal...well, you know...things happen.
I've been hinking about the fact that the pedophiles already served their time and wer considered rehabilitated. Did the man have the right to go and kill these men who all lived under one roof? No. It ptobably wasn't his place to even confront them about their past..tendencies.
but he did it anyway. He killed them 2 of them b ecause he percieved they werren't sorry for what they did. He let one guy go though. I wonder what was said but I'm sure I will never know unless the police release an account of the details or if Mullen writes a book.
Anyway, I am starting to identify with PVS. If the guy was completely insane and a drug addict and just was going to cause grief anyway than its's a good thing he's locked up. It's better to kill a few unapologetic pedophiles than one who is.
I'm not promoting people to go around and be a vigilante.
But, to tell people that they are wrong for defending the people they love is a slippery slope.

Why are you and others continually citing his remorse as a noble act? He didn't kill a man he had no right to kill anyway, big whoop.

Thats what I´m talking about... everyone will like to do justice by their own hands if the problem happens with them, I really don´t think that its disgusting to think like this, to want to defend your family, or to make some rapists pay for what they did(and didn´t show remorse of)... that guy wanted to make justice, he screwed his life, but he wanted to make criminals be punished for their crimes, he wanted justice.
I don´t care if murdering rapers should be allowed or not, I´m saying that what the guy did does not even compare to what the rapists did.

Are you talking about the pedophile who apologized? Well, if you are that's a good point.
After all, the guy might have just lied so that he didn't get shot. That's definitely possible. Anyway, I don't know what was said in the event so I don't want to speculate too much. Good point though.

I was referring to Mullen letting one guy go.

Hey how did I come into this.
I am not objective at all. Is the woman hot?
