Seriously..so you wouldn't be closeminded if someone really hurt your wife or children? You'd wait..and listen for the reason why without really wanting to hurt this person?
Once again, different situation with similar results. You're now referring to something happening that would cause me to be more emotionally involved. My sense and understanding of proper judgment and time to concern myself would go out the window.
Would I be right in wanting to take revenge and seek out those who did harm to my Wife/Children's assailants? Through my eyes, of course. Through the eyes of logic and proper judgment? NO.
Why? Because situations happen for reasons, and not every single one is for a reason that's as cut and dry as
"because they had no remorse" or
"because they wanted to".
Why shouldn't they all die? Give me one good reason why we should keep these people in our society? Paying for their living at that?
Depending on the situation(s) at hand, thats the best logical reason I could give you. And it's the one the Government and everyone (not you) agrees in. It's taking the grim situation that's happened, and looking closer at why it happened. What brought it on. What took place in the course of events that lead to it.
Why do you think Murder investigations aren't solved in a single day? Because they have to be very careful, as to not convict and sentence an innocent person to death, or a great deal of life behind bars.
And? It's still the same principle. We weren't there so we can't judge. It's not how I feel, but how NorCal does.
I doubt that. NorCal isn't using the emotions of a teenager who is clouded in judgment and spouting off at the mouth, merely because he's vengeful.
And to even say
"We can't judge because we weren't there, it's not how I feel, but someone else" shows exactly how old and immature you truly are. To take something so heavy as the 9/11 attacks, and compare them to one girl being raped.. is fucking bullshit.
Are they both unforgivable assaults? Yes. Did both events kill hundreds? NO. So please quit on this already, because you're starting to piss me off. Hundreds of people died, and you want to immaturely spout off in claiming a Military enlisted individual feels it'd be considered the same. Grow up, and act your age.
Oh lucky her, she didn't fucking die. Let's have a big celebration!
You're ridiculous at times, you know this? The situation has areas of uncertainty involved in it, and you just simply refuse to see that.. all because the word "rape" popped into your fucking head, like a damn word of the day that you have to just stop everything and key in on.
I'm the only person who seems to see sense. There is no physical reason why someone would do this that didn't deserve death.
Uhm.. being forced against your will, would be a pretty damn fucking good start.
We don't know if he was, but once again.. changing your ways, being apologetic for an act that
YOU DIDN'T EVEN COMMIT, and still holding just as much pain knowing you took part, or were powerless to stop it from happening.
Now, I realise the boy in question didn't actually do it, so he isn't in the wrong as much as the guy that did, but he still condoned it, and then beat her.
He took part in beating her (first), and as NorCal said, for all we know didn't even know rape occurred. He could've just been forced in the group beatdown of this girl. For reasons he may or may not have even known.
And he clearly had to beat her. He was forced into it with the guy throwing punches for him and everything, right?
If you were thrown into a situation where you didn't know what to do, but was pushed and pressured into something at last minute.. you'd likely make a hastily, last second unthinkable decision, too.
I'm very sure you've done things you regret in your life. And if you haven't, then that right there proves you have no true voice on this matter.. as you haven't experienced knowing how to unfortunately be pressured and pushed into something you later regret doing.
