I also was raped, and the police did little about it. If I could find the guy I’m not sure what I’d do but if someone like me chose to take personal vengeance I wouldn’t stand in their way. ---

I can’t manage much opprobrium against a father who attacks his daughter’s rapist. But I can manage opprobrium against a society, and society’s systems like the court, that would allow him to. A vigilante response is understandable, but it’s no good in the long run, and that’s why we have laws. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I think you can believe those things and still be happy when bad things happen to bad people. Sorry to continue the hijack (though I think it’s allowed in The BBQ Pit), but this is something like how I feel about capital punishment. I am opposed to capital punishment, but I confess there is some ambivalence. There are some people who ‘need killing’. But I can’t be opposed to capital punishment if I make exceptions. So even if someone ‘needs killing’, I oppose putting him or her to death. Keep the person in prison until he or she dies there. On the other hand if the person is killed, and while I won’t be _happy_ about it, I won’t shed any tears either. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Whether an individual like this monstrous doctor deserves pain and death is irrelevant - society is made less just, and less safe, when rampant violence is allowed (much less encouraged) in prisons. This. Some people in this thread seem to be suggesting that murder is OK as long as the victim is someone they want murdered. I assume there a few “nice” guys in prison. Who gets to decide which ones are OK to murder? What about the guy that knifed the doctor? Should he be punished, or does he get a pass because he stabbed the guy we don’t like? How can you punish a guy for committing a “good” murder. As a society we have decided that murder is bad. We don’t get to qualify that position by adding “…except for people we really don’t like.” ---

If I learned that Trump got killed by a drunk driver and I wasn’t devastated by the news, it wouldn’t mean that I’m okay with drunk driving in some instances. Nobody here is endorsing violence in prisons or murder or any of that shit, this is a bullshit thread for blowing off steam and @Baker used it to blow off some steam. No need to make a federal case out of it. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > If I learned that Trump got killed by a drunk driver and I wasn’t devastated by the news, it wouldn’t mean that I’m okay with drunk driving in some instances. I do think there’s a difference between that and cheering on the drunk driver. To me, that’s the line. I can and would be pissed at the driver and want that person prosecuted while not being too mournful over the death of a person I find to have harmed and continues to harm the country. ---

Thank you **Spice\_Weasel** for your comments. I really appreciate how you worded things. I get so frustrated that the crooks seem to get more consideration than the victims. And I know I kind of poked the bear there with **Monty** and feel bad about that, as they are one of my favorite posters. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > If I learned that Trump got killed by a drunk driver and I wasn’t devastated by the news, it wouldn’t mean that I’m okay with drunk driving in some instances. Sorry, but I do not see your example as the same as cheering for someone to be intentionally murdered. ---

I was trying to be polite. For me personally I think spending your life in prison is a more fitting punishment than death, so I tend to prefer life consequences to death ones. ---

OK if that is so then add to the stupid MFers the prison management who act like they believe this time around Mr. Stabby McStabface will have given up the shiv habit for real. ---
