@Louis It is vengeance. You just don't want to admit that it is.
The father is killing the rapist out of vengeance. He justifies his act of vengeance partly by getting rid of a dangerous rapist and partly by claiming restitution for the sake of the victim and the victims family.
You're just avoiding calling it vengeance because you know that you actually agree with me but don't want to admit it.
Tell me this then, how does your idea of "vengeance" differ from my scenario? What is vengenace according to you? Describe it with an example.
@PureEvilPie To subject the perpetrator to suffering, so that the victim and their family can recieve the comforting knowledge that the perpetrator gets to feel something of what the victim was forced to endure.
@Zakhan Sure thing. When they come at you with a knife, shoot them with a gun, and protect yourself and your family.
Mr Seven Proxies on the other hand, wants to kill people en-mass, on the mere belief that they WILL do bad things
I am for capital punishment in case of most heinous crimes committed by the repeated offenders with clear, direct evidence (catching the person in the act) - usually really repeated, worst offenders committing crimes on the ground of ideology or personal satisfaction with disregard for suffering of others aren't reeducated
The best case i can think of nonvengeance was that abraham lincoln did not punish all of the remaining fighters or losers of the civil war anymore than he had too. This was the opposite of vengeance
@DankMemez Never said I want to kill people en-masse on the belief that they will do bad things. I say that they should be subjugated and not be granted equal rights. If they adhere to these conditions without contest or fighting, then no further efforts are necessary.
It's only if they start fighting back that killing might become necessary.
