      Trouble is, it was purely pre-meditated and vengeful. Noone can argue with the motive, but that which stops us from anarchy is the ability to let the law take its course rather than taking it into your own hands... Matter of fact, there are a number of cases where similar has happened and it's actually harmed the prosecution case against the person on the end of the beating. Josh was very lucky indeed...

      I've always been a fan of the Batman. I do understand what you are talking about and am forced to agree.

      Perhaps, but Cops, D.A.'s and juries have all declined to prosecute people who are technically guilty, many, many times

      Once again we are left with the law making it more advantageous to kill someone than simply to injure them. I am not saying that is what Josh should have done, but I am pointing out that there is a loophole that encourages extremism.

        A Spanish mother has taken revenge on the man who raped her 13-year-old daughter at knifepoint by dousing him in petrol and setting him alight. He died of his injuries in hospital on Friday. Antonio Cosme Velasco Soriano, 69, had been sent to jail for nine years in 1998, but was let out on a three-day pass and returned to his home town of Benejúzar, 30 miles south of Alicante, on the Costa Blanca. While there, he passed his victim’s mother in the street and allegedly taunted her about the attack. He is said to have called out “How’s your daughter?”, before heading into a crowded bar. Shortly after, the woman walked into the bar, poured a bottle of petrol over Soriano and lit a match. She watched as the flames engulfed him, before walking out.[^] Hope they give her a medal.

        This was 6 years ago. I wonder what did happen to her? Not being able to use her name makes following up rather difficult.

            The only reason I noticed was that he was sentenced to 9 years, but the attack happened well over a decade ago, which had me wondering if the 3day pass was actually a probation system with very frequent checkins.

              Found a followup by searching for the dirtbag's name. She was originally sentenced to 9 years, reduced to 5 on appeal, and pardoned after just over 1. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/04/maria-carmen-garcia-spani_n_831372.html[^]

                Thus others, quite reasonably, are allowed to think that it is justifiable.

                    Never a good reason for murder. Understandable, but not justifiable. Absolutely nothing honorable about burning someone to death.

                    Have you or someone close to you that you love been raped? Has someone close to you been deliberately killed in a violent way? Has either of those happened to someone that you were specifically supposed to be looking out for (such as a child)? If you answer is no then perhaps someone to which that has happened might have a different viewpoint.

                    :(( Yes, Yes, No. While it _is_ understandable to me, it's still no excuse. It's hateful actions like hers that don't contribute to life being a better experience. (Nor did his, not by a long long long shot) Retalliation and retribution do not make for the ingredients of civility and harmony:rose:. Hope she rots in jail!:mad:

                      I'll pay for the petrol. The reason? How many other rapes did she prevent?
