I know. And it's not justified either. But that does not, in turn, allow the taking of his life.
I just think that the eye for an eye idea leads into a lot of dark and murky waters. Where is the line drawn? It's impossible to set boundaries.
I'm not exactly mourning his death and I couldn't say I'd stand in front of the lynch mob, but on a superficial level I am opposed to it

I don't agree with how he was murdered but I feel like the government should keep better tabs on sex offenders. I can see how someone might be driven toward retaliation if someone's abused their child and the pedo's back out on the streets within a few years to reoffend again. Doesn't make the vigilante justice the right thing to do in the end though, but it ought to be seen both as the wrong thing to do, AND a symptom of possible failures within the judicial system.

To me, someone who can abuse a child isn't human. I think the reaction to want to kill someone who takes your child's childhood and life from them is comepletely human.

No murder is not RIGHT but neither is child abuse, and a prison sentance does not equal the crime he commited as he took that childs innocence. Im sure that girls family will sleep better now too.
