Exacting justice to people who harm others--especially those who can't protect themselves, like children--is not "torture and murder." Rather, it is a necessary step to protect others.
Keeping your hands clean and being able to talk about what a great Christian you are for "forgiving" is all well and good, but the moment you allow criminals like these to go free, or to get off with a being jailed instead of put to death, you leave the option open for them to repeat their actions (remember, someone can come along and decide to pardon these monsters). At that point, the blood of the innocent is on your hands for not doing what was necessary.
The question is: which is more important, protecting the innocent or handling the guilty in a way that makes you feel better about yourself?
I agree it’s not torture and murder - when fine through the legal system. I agree that they should be stopped and properly punished.
My point is to avoid becoming murderous in our hearts. If we were to enjoy watching torture - no matter how much the victim deserves it - we have inched closer to their level.
When you punish them for their deeds, do we then forgive ourselves (society) for having to do so? If we go the execution route, I think it's necessary.
But why make one of our own good people pull on the switch for an execution? If they are truly an evil person, then they can commit suicide by pressing a button for lethal injection. It wouldn't be a true choice for them but it would by by their own hand.
Can someone else figure out how to solve this problem or is the pressure enough to corner them to commit suicide? Is that why Q says suicide weekend? That's how Q solved it?
Agreed. Once you cross the line, it can't be uncrossed, never go home again, etc. Here's the thing for me. Q said Satan is real and makes references to God. America is based off God's values. What moral legality do we use? That's the answer I'm looking for. I've seen the rope, neck, sea answer. There has to be more than that. I hope they just do it themselves. Chase them towards the cliff and they can jump. We'll find the answer though I think Q has already.
Exactly. Legal.
Anyone acting on their lust for extrajudicial torture and murder in the name of "justice" would be accurately described as radicalized.
ISIS thought they were carrying out justice too.

Be dangerous but disciplined.

I think it must be done legally. That’s one thing Q has mentioned. Allow the legal system to sort it out. No need to feel guilty.
I’ve just seen too many who seem to have a blood lust. Murdering murderers doesn’t eliminate murderers - just creates more.
