Raping and Murder of his daughter. I can't find the link but saw this on TV last night. I know it's still illegal but IMO I have no sympathy for the victims and wish more harm could have been done on them, there is no excuse for the rape and murder of a child. It is times like this were you really wish there was a hell.

There's no excuse for murder either. That's why each example (rape and murder) will be looked at as a 'crime', instead of the latter as 'justified revenge'. Individuals do not have the right in 'civilized' societies to exact personal retribution. Otherwise we'd live in Flame of Liberty's 'state-that-is-not-a-state'.
I'm always mystified when one person kills another, and a dozen people jump on the board to say 'good'. Sheesh, this is life and death stuff here. This is a horrible event, there is no good here.
'Still illegal'...? You envision a day when personal murderous retribution is not? I'd better keep my nose clean...
