I’ll refrain from giving my opinion over the incident but here is a thought.
Everbody is always arguing that, if anyone ever touched their kid, they’ll go Hannibal on their ass, well, if the turth is indeed being told here, nobody seems to be on the side of the father. The aunt is freaked out, the family finds this unacceptable. Yet I am sure that if a stranger molested their kid, it would be all different. What aggravates me is that those people are to simple to even grasp this concept.
Then County Prosecutor says: “No individual has the right to exact the death penalty on another, no matter how reprehensible the behavior. That is why we have laws,” … oh right is that why, I dono, death penalty is still around.
So yeah for all of you who say he is a sick fuck, what would you do if someone molested your mother, daughter, wife?
That’s a good point but you have to realize that was his son. He basically murdered his child while “protecting” another (assuming the story is true). [/quote]
Let’s quickly examine what family bond is without getting all technical and nitpicky.
1/ Biological: you share a higher quantity of genes with this individual than any other person on the planet. 2/ Emotional: a long history of experiences with this person has built strong memories from which emotions arise. 3/ Belonging: that person is related to you is part of >your< life.
Number one really isn’t of much concern. The reason one wouldn’t want to kill their own son is because of the emotional bond and belongingness factor.
So we are left with two reasons for not killing a person. Now, emotions are as fragile as glass, one day you love your wife the next day she leaves you for another man, gets the kids, the house and you are left giving her half of your salary so she can suck this other guy’s dick and go on holidays to Hawaii. This would be enough for any person to hate another individual. Once hate has been introduced in the equation, killing becomes real easy.
Belongingness. Your wife never really was yours to begin with, your son on the other hand couldn’t be without your existence, this makes him YOUR son, the same way buying a car makes it YOURS (like I said let’s not get all nitpicky, obviously those are not the best analogies, but in this context it should suffice). You wouldn’t crash your car, unless you are a douche from Texas driving a luxury car, but imagine you’ve been fired from work, you pop your hood to get a baseball bat and smash it to pieces just to get the anger out of your system. And as it is yours you can decide what ever you want to do with it.
So, you are left with no reason to not kill him, except “political correctness” and ethicality and a right sense of retribution which basically comes to the same thing. This is in fact the only reason you don’t kill some random guy who sucker punched you at a bar and grabbed your gf’s goodies.
But quite francly if you eliminate emotions it becomes really easy, it might not make it ethical, which is not to say that it isn’t intrinsically the right thing to do.
Let’s go a step further, how would you feel if the son rapped your wife, daughter 5 years later. Would you then want to kill him, would you think he was badly brought up, indirectly blaming the parents, meaning that the father owned up by killing him.
Just a thought.
He may get less than life if his lawyer is any good. An exceptionnal lawyer might even get him walking a free man.
