Quote from g222:
A very valid point, but ...
DATELINE is doing it, and it doesn't seem to be so. But I think the act of a predator - kidnapping, restraining and brutalizing their victims - comes close to violating the civil rights of these innocent children.
Those who advocate compassion for and the humane treatment of these despots are drawing a line in the sand over which they will not cross in order to protect our children. I know no line.
They say that certain acts constitute revenge and lower us to the level of these animals ... castration for example. Well, I think that the only things that make these perpetrators of such inhuman acts human are that they walk upright and can reason, and therefore deminishes their right to such compassions.
Imagine: A commotion from my daughters bedroom awakens me at3AM. I enter to find her duct-taped and bound with rope on her bed. Beside her, I see an ordinary looking guy with his pants pulled down around his ankles. But when he sees me, he reaches into his pockets, and pulls out a copy of the Constitution and says: "Don"t you touch me ... Constitution !! ... Constitution !! ... I have my rights !!" Being a God-fearing patriot, I : a) agree with him, gather up my daughter and leave the room, b) make a citizens' arrest ... " you have the right to remain silent ..."c) or what ?? I know ... I could perform on him a "laying on of the hands", plead temporary insanity, and hide behind that same Constution. Because I was temporarily insane, I was not vengeful nor lowered to his level, but rather I had delusions of bringing him closer to his God thru that "laying on of the hands". Amen.
