Okay, so what I’m seeing here is a lot of understandable anger at the situation.
…and yet the majority of you are all talking about how much you’d torture and murder the guy? LOL. Hypocrisy is amazing.
It’s really not within ANY human’s rights to end the life of any other human, simply put. We are all put on this Earth with the same exact biological rights… ACCORDING to our sociologically-formed viewpoint.
Yes, when we ultimately boil what we are down to its coarsest form we are all stupid animals, going around and killing each other.
But if we’re going to try to pretend like we’re different than any other animal and form councils, societies, and communities then perhaps we should be operating by only one set of standards. So… we’re not supposed to kill people unless a person sitting behind a podium decides it’s to be? Isn’t that a little, erm, contradictory?
Two wrongs =/= One right
So I’ll leave with this, seeking this man’s death in any way makes you a pure hypocrite. Not to say what he did wasn’t detestable, but I find it funny that people can be so painfully oblivious to the verbal garbage they spew.
*Also, please spare me the parent thing. I’m not a parent, I get it though, you’d do anything for your kid. Cool. Still doesn’t mean you’re not a hypocrite.[/quote]
people who kill other people should be locked up until they’re dead, since they’re a danger to others.
i don’t know why you think all of us go around killing each other… that’s not normal

…huh? I don’t think you read my post very well, because nothing you’re saying has anything to do with what I said. Not being a dick, just saying.
I just find it very interesting that all these folks who seem so vehemently enraged about this are the same ones talking about death to the murderer / killing the murderer. People need to operate from one set of standards, or else there is no fair justice.[/quote]
lol i read it well!
here’s you: “when we ultimately boil what we are down to its coarsest form we are all stupid animals, going around and killing each other”
so i figure, just lock them up til they’re dead

I see what you mean now. Again, I actually quite agree with you about locking 'em up for good. What I meant by the animal thing is that there’s basically two trains of thought to how he handle ourselves as a species. We can try to keep convincing ourselves that somehow our intellect has made us extraordinarily different than other species. If this is the case, then we should be living under the constant standard of avoiding malfeasance. This would include a judge or jury deciding that one person should die… no matter if it’s a crime or not. It’s a judgment about a person’s life made by another person.
Then there’s the other train of thought… We are animals. We fuck, kill, and feed our way through this life until we die. If this is the case, then yeah, vigilante justice is surely justifiable. But I don’t see this as being true. So clearly… vigilante justice isn’t really justifiable in this case.
Also, two more things just came to mind.
You guys were never kids that made a stupid mistake? Now, lol, before someone jumps on this point with RABBLERABBLERABBLE obviously killing another person is far different than most dilemmas that kids experience, but that’s just my point. I know if I did something stupid as a kid that I wasn’t supposed I’d be TERRIFIED of fessing up to it and would do everything within my power to hide it. What makes you think a loner kid who murdered another kid wouldn’t do the same? It’s definitely something I can understand, although not necessarily think is correct.
Also, let’s pretend the dad goes out there and just fucks this guys’ world up. Torture and death like all you guys are saying. I start to wonder… who is the one that you should actually be scared of… the one who premeditates how they’re going to off someone for a crime committed decades ago or a guy who’s had to live with 30 years of shame and guilt for an incredibly thoughtless and stupid transgression?
Again, please don’t think I’m siding with the (actual) murderer, but I think 90% of the responses in this thread have been pretty ridiculous and make everyone making those statement appear to be very simple-minded… IMO.
