I Am Going To Kill My Child's Murderer

The only one who can forgive the murderer is the victim. To put the onus on a family member to find compassion or to forgive the murderer is to impune that family member. It is to put him to a test. And it implies that if he fails the test then he's not a good christian therefore because we all fall short we should not be too hard on the murderer.To appeal to the family member in any way is to is to be in solidarity with the muderrer. Subsconsciously ,no doubt. It is to do the bidding of the murderer by pointing a finger of reproach to someone else. And to appeal to that family member [to tell him to write the muderer a letter or to jump through other hoops] suggests that if a victim has no relatives then the evil done by the murder of a child [or anyone] is less grieveous then if a victim has a family.To abduct and kill a child is an act against all of humanity.We are all impacted by it.It is not about, nor can the anti- death penalty detrators make it about the family members.A society that abolishes the death penalty for premeditated abduction and murder of a child is a society that has lost its soul.The purpose of the death penaly is to punish the murderer. It is not about healing a family member or society.This is a straw dog put up by opponents of the death penalty.Society has the right to punish injustices committed by people.Justice satisfies.It does not heal a family member- as if you could heal from knowing your child was abducted and killed by a sadist.A society that imprisons people for their entire life is also a society that has lost its soul.It is inhumane and when includes solitary confinement a form a torture. No one should be in prison for more then ten years.Punishment is vengeance and it we don't believe in vengenance then no one should go to prison for anything.[especially nowadays we could put monitoring devices on all criminals and let them live in society.] Though mercy has its place, a society that shows mercy towards someone who abducts and kills a child is a society complicit with the murderer. It is an[unconscious-prrimitive] expression of the inhumane belief that might makes right and of the survival of the fittest. If you can do it, do it, No one wll judge you.No one will condemn you. If you abduct and kill a child you can be assured we'll turn to the family member and harrass him for his lack of Christian charity. You still get to laugh at all the jokes on the Tonight Show and eat your hamburger and French fries with everything on it.Imprisoning people forever is worse then" barbaric". ""Barbaric" codes are still codes and therefore show a culture that has a soul.To be willing to lock someone forever but not to kill them on the grounds that to kill them is to exact vengence [punishment[ and vengence is wrong is inauthentic. Depriving someone of freedom of movement forever IS vengence, is punishment but it is unjust. It doesn't fit the crime. A.country that kills its child murderers [or other premeditated murderers] is a society that has soul enough to avenge[ punish] the unjust suffering and death of a defenseles innocent fellow human.It stands in solidarity with the victim by saying because the victim no longer stands, the murderer will no longer stand.Soul is being in touch with our deep seeded human needs and being willing to consciously validate them. A society has lost its soul when it delegitimizes the human cry for vengengeance [punishmen] and in order to preserve a false sense of itself, attributes life in prison or any prison sentence to an enlightened desire to reform people.Though reform has its place for certain socioeconomic crimes, someone who chooses to abduct and sadistically kill a child is someone who has taken a stand against humanity.Of course the real hypocrisy in the anti-death penalty advocates is when they have no problem with waging war knowing full well that in order to get one "bad' guy [Saddam Husein say], they are willing to drop bombs on a country knowing many innocent men, women and children will have their arms and legs blown off and die. Killing thousands of innocent people is acceptable as long as you use nice words like freedom or democracy or national security][and when someone abducts and kills a child our national security has been breached] when talking about it but when it comes to killing a sadistic murderer of children, scruples about killing are invoked.The "no one deserves to die "[but it's okay if they do in Iraq or Afghanistan}. "thou shall not kill," "thou shall not judge,"" turn the other cheek,"" forgive those that do you harm",etc is invoked.The aversion to killing cold blooded murderers yet willingness to kill innocent people by the thousands is the height of a society that has lost its soul.I guess when you get to satisfy the human need for vengenance and punishment under the guise of war, it's easy then to mask your own bloodlust by hypocritically invoking your" thou shalt
not kill , no body deserves to die, turn the other cheek, forgive those that hurt you etc., stand against the death penalty.I take the opposite view .That it is just for the state to apply the death penaly [death by firing squad, none of this lethal injection medicalization of an execution], against a premedtated murderer of children but it is never just to take vengence or exact punishment on a group of people for the crimes of individual members of that group. I'm always against killing whether deliberately or as collateral damage [which are morally equivelent when you invade a country] of innocent people. And I would ask those who oppose the death penalty but believe in life in prison without parole whther they would be willing to hold the keys to that persons freedom and to face the prisoner every day and deny them their freedom .I could not do that I would feel like I was inhumane and would let him go. I believe I could pull the trigger on someone who had abducted and killed a child.And I could not nor would not drop a bomb knowing there were people on the ground[.
