He Should Have Been Given a Medal

[USincognito]

My thread title was a metaphor, which I will now explain. As a result of the actions of pedophiles and child sexual abusers the victims are automatically imposed with punishment which equates to a life-time sentence. It is a pain, a burden, and an injury which can never fully be relieved or healed. Unfortunately there is only one manner in which anyone can truly understand that, and it is not a condition I would wish on anyone.

I don't care how long ago a pedophile may have abused a child. They are guilty, and deserving of no sympathy, no coddling, and no mercy.

I didn't say the man who killed this particular pedophile should not have been punished. He is certainly liable. But his crimes were crimes of passion, not profit, and the underlying motivation for the crime of murder should have mitigated his sentence to a degree more profoundly than evidenced. Did he commit murder? Of course. But he also did the world a favor, as there is now one less pedophile in it.

Make of that what you will.

Sounds to me like she needs to toughen up and get over it.

Isn't that the normal Conservative response to everything?

Do you feel this is a Christ like sentiment?

If there is one thing that "Christian Forums" has taught this Christian, it's that many Christians here really don't consider something like that.
Maybe in their daily life, but certainly not before they hit "Post Reply"

[not to say I haven't made comments that I recognize as unChrist-like. But I tell you now, I won't try to defend them and play mental gymnastics with them]

Well...

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. -- Jesus​

So, yeah, it is kind of a Christ-like thing to say.

Man who killed daughter's sexual abuser gets 40-year sentence

BERLIN, Ala. - A man in Alabama was sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing his daughter's sexual abuser.

According to the Cullman Times, the 43-year-old was sentenced for the June 2014 murder of 59-year-old Raymond Earl Brooks.

Pedophiles deserve no mercy. That is just how I feel.

Extenuating circumstances, but for an Alabama jury to convict this guy, it must have been crystal clear, the guy acted methodically to kill and less so, on acute passion.

Good point. I'm an atheist (with no moral compass, apparently) and I would happily see paedophiles put to death.

I wonder if wanting them put to death brings me closer to God (reading what gets posted on CF makes it hard to judge)?

Extenuating circumstance...

The murder took place 13 years after the abuse and after the abuser had served his sentence.
