We absolutely can allow people to think that when we're already allowing the church to think it's cool to shelter child abusers. That's the point.
No one is allowing that. And people are abandoning churches fast because of it. Now they are starting to own up to their mistakes, but for me it is too late. I believe in God but I don't believe in religious institutions anymore, honestly.
Still, I don't think it justifies revenge murders, but this victim is clearly in a declined mental state.
Human beings don't need law to act on "reason." In fact the difference between instinct and reason is almost entirely arbitrary, especially when that differs across history and culture.
What I'm saying is that ignoring these deeply flawed systems would allow any person to get violent for whatever they see fit. Its instinct, but the reason comes into play when you think "Is this really worth that consequence?" and "How will this negatively impact me or the ones around me?".
Lets not pretend now that this guy really hurt himself by this action, this is the whole point of the conversation here.
I see what your trying to say and that is the hopeful outcome that you can't allow people to think they are entitled to ending the life of another no matter the justifiable reason but it comes across as heartless and self righteous in this situation considering where is your outrage that a priest was allowed to molest children for so long that he molested the father of his killer and the killer. He was molesting children well into his 80's and the church and the authorities turned a blind eye to it. I mean what is a person suppose to do in that situation?
I'm being very logical here despite feeling terrible for the victim. I'm more worried about his future too. Like I said, I don't know how I would react in that situation but I would strongly be against murder if I were to talk to anyone who was a victim and contemplating what he did.
Unfortunately, people are going to see him as a danger to be around others because of how he got his payback.
the system is set up to protect people like the priest.
Thats fair to say, but that is only because it is attempting to be balanced when monsters like him don't deserve it. Again, it is deeply flawed, but the churches crimes are coming to an end the more they are exposed.
Killing his abuser for revenge did little, the thing was already 91. I just hope he gets help now and deserves treatment until he is well.
Quick question for you have you ever broken a law or a rule or just in general did something you weren't supposed to do?
I have been a kid before so yes. Does that somehow invalidate my adult perspective?
