Reply #42: I agree

When my car was stolen, I was mad enough to consider for a moment, running current through the chassis of my wife's car in order to shock the hell out of any potential car thieves. (being that I'm a bit forgetful myself and would have likely succeeded in shocking myself, it's probably better I never considered seriously doing that)

I cannot imagine the grief rage and horror that accompanies having one's child molested. My first impulse upon discovering that someone had done so to my 1 year old daughter would be to desire to see the responsible party fed foot first through a wood chipper. Hence, it is all the better that the decision is not mine to make, and that we have a system (hopefully) based on cold, deliberative law, and not the raging emotions of each of us individually.
