I know this is almost a year old but wanted to comment on this.
I agree with you that I'm conflicted about how to feel about the guy; he's certainly no hero. If he killed the first guy in self-defense or some situation where maybe he was on drugs or was otherwise not in his right mind,
maybe I wouldn't be so critical. But that's not usually the case when you are convicted of
murder so ya, pretty much fuck him too.
I don't believe in the death penalty as much as I used to. Not because of I believe that human life shouldn't be taken, but the guy would have been left to live a life all alone, suffering beyond belief and scared wondering "who's going to kill me, when is it coming?" .To him, minutes must seem like hours. I'd have more respect if he just severely beat the guy...This egomaniac is looking for props under the guise of doing the right thing and robbed this molester of a life of pain and suffering.
Maybe he did it to make himself feel better about himself by thinking he's a good guy because he killed someone a little worse than him. Maybe he don't ca re and is thinking nothing at all. In my eyes, the only way this guy's actions can be justified is if the child (or children) this molester attacked can find more peace in knowing that scumbag is no longer on the same Earth.
End of the day, though, a child molester is dead. So the story does have a happy ending...
