So you did understand me?Good.
Then you must have realized that your "logic" point is...well..pointless. It would seem that you have realized this. 🙂
Originally posted by ImpedimentI can understand it. I don't blame you for it. I doubt I would do the same, but I have sympathy for people in such a situation. I just don't think that society has to give in to the blind revenge a family member, maybe justifiably, has. If you kill them saving your someone or yourself I am all for it, but we are talking about killing someone that has been rendered harmless. Not my idea of justice.
I'm not expecting everyone to share my "burden" of fatherly protection instincts. I just hope that one day, if and when you become a father, you can understand where I am coming from, is all.

If you were a parent, you'd probably be singing a different tune. This is in regards to you walking in and catching someone raping your child.

It is appalling. So keep them there longer, don't need to kill them.
Tell that to the board of the Sex Offender Treatment Program of Texas who decides that the inmate is fit to be released from rehabilitative therapy and the parole board who releases them into the world.
