Reply #170: Thanks for reading, but you completely missed my point.

You say that the father took criminal action by killing his son, but then conclude that "everything...worked out."

No, the committing of a crime does NOT allow the committing of ANOTHER crime. This is what civilization attempts to prevent. Personal revenge is not justice.

I hesitate to comment on the boys actions, because no matter what he did, his father's act was criminal. Even if he had raped her in every orifice and then set her on fire, what his father did was STILL PREMEDITATED MURDER. (Granted, if he had caught the boy in the act, that would be a totally different story).

However, from what we know at this point (we may or may not ever learn more) it seemed that all he did was lay on top of his sister and think sexual thoughts.

Now, I'm the oldest sibling in my family, and I couldn't count the number of times I laid on top of my younger siblings while playing, rough-housing, fighting, etc. Now, I never thought any sexual thoughts about them while doing it, but in theory (as long as the boy didn't fondle anything) what he did to her wouldn't be any more damaging than what I did to my brother & sister.

I apologize in advance if there was more to it than that, and I missed the information.
