If you had a chance to take your anger out on an animal abuser, child rapist, or murderer would you? I don't want to sound evil but if I had the

evidence proving they did these crimes I'd gladly bashed their head to a pulp. I mean they're evil heartless people that don't care so how are they being productive or compassionate?

I had the chance and I didn't kill.

I guess thinking you can do something and actually doing it are two different things.

Not to mention that offenders can be kids themselves.

It's complex.
@Miram I think you secretly condone certain crimes.

@Carissa321

Killing people is a crime too in case you fail to notice your own inconsistency.

I suggest you start really thinking and stop wasting my time.
@Miram punishing people is not a crime.and please stop wasting my time with your warped views.

I wouldn't but I have a Buddhist outlook on life. I support self defense for that sake, I wouldn't blame someone, how can I say that one shouldn't? Certainly that's self defense if someone is hurting you or a pet that you love.

Here are my reasons for why I wouldn't but I can't exactly say what anyone would do, just give my thoughts:

1. I think it does little in the way of justice if people think that's actually justice. The issue with that sort of person who likely have other disorders is that people assume that beating them teaches someone a lesson or make them feel pain. However, people assume that these sorts of people think just like them but they don't, their psychology is different.

You're just doing what they're used to, so they won't really care all that much. I know it sounds like they would care about getting hurt but many don't because they don't think like the rest of us, they don't care. You can yell at the narcissist all day but they'll forever be a victim or at least act like one. Any apology from the narcissist will be superficial, even when bashed in the skull. Doesn't matter what circumstance, you can fill them full of love and some people will just take advantage but they won't care if you're violent either as they live for reactions.

They also have a victim persecution complex so beating them also perpetuates their victimhood and confirms their delusional narrative.

2. Not all murderers did so out of heartless reasons, some murderers are psychopaths but not all murderers are psychopathic. There are differences in non-psychopathic murderers and psychopathic ones as studied by forensic science.

I'm not saying a murderer who isn't psychopathic is morally justified to take away anyone's life but there is many different circumstances in regards to criminality and some people do feel remorse. Some situations are environmentally created and some even artificially created, I would give reasons but for the sake of time I won't go into it.

3. The line between vigilantism and serial killers is a very thin one. There are types of serial killers whose reasoning for killing sex workers for instance is not unlike that violent form of justice because they find it morally reprehensible. I'm talking mainly from what I learned through forensic psychology.

So unrelated but related at the same time, let's say we all beat murderers and people similar, that would also desensitize us to violence much like how watching horror movies with special effects does. Does this not change us in the process? Think about the times where we hung people and it was a family picnic, is this morally just?

Keep in mind this is all just my [b][c=BF0000]opinion[/c][/b] from studying human behavior, I don't know if I'm 100% right. Like doing one act of violence won't turn one bad, that's not what I'm saying but I think there's a fine line there somewhere.

With all that said, I think there should be harsher penalties for animal abuse. There are already penalties for other crimes but I believe that there needs to be something done.

An animal abuser, for sure.

Child rapist? I don't like children, so that's just a "probably" at best.

Murderer? That would depend on who got murdered. Some people should be killed, and some murders I approve of.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@JonathanC sicko. You don't like children so you couldn't muster up the same vitriol for people who rape kids as you could an animal abuser. Just yuck
@JonathanC disgusting man
No, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want them punished. [b]I’m[/b] not really a violent person. I would fight to defend my life or that of someone else in the moment. But I [b]know[/b] I wouldn’t have the stomach to torture someone, even one who deserved it. I’d prefer to see them locked away forever.

@bijouxbroussard What about tickle torture? Tickle someone until they become incontinent...that would be fun no?
@SW-User No.

No. I'm not the arbitrator of who deserves what.
Danerol · 31-35, M
Nope I wouldn't because as you do such things you then bring yourself down to their level as much as its painful for what they do it's not your life and you don't have to live with the guilt of what you did.unless you did Ki them then you also would live with the guilt
KuroNeko · 41-45, F
No. I wouldn't want that on my conscience. Other people's shitty behaviour shouldn't be an excuse for me to do the same.
Allelse · 36-40, M
Animal abuser and child rapist? Sure but I'd want to know the reason why the murderer did what they did. I mean some people just have it coming, I mean if I found out somebody finally had enough and murdered my older sister, I'd be like well, fair enough. But if it was some psycho who murdered just to get their jollies, or because they wanted to inherit or something like that then yeah, they'd get the belt!

If I walked in on my own child being raped or murdered I'd lose it. Let the courts decide the rest.
SW-User
No I understand your resentment but i wouldn’t mess up my own life for the likes of them

Leave it to Karma
Only if I saw it in the act otherwise I couldn’t kill anyone it’s just not in me to take a life.

I don’t think that I would take my anger out but if the chance ever prevailed, it would not be pretty.😔
nedkelly · 61-69, M
Child rapist would be shot in the balls, dragged behind a car and taken out to sea to feed the sharks
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
Unless that person was in the active process of hurting a victim, I wouldn't harm them. I'd prefer that a court of law take care of them and hopefully jail them. Needless to say, I'm against the death penalty.

Hard to get all the evidence needed to do that.
Zzxxxx · 56-60, M
Honestly, no.
MrGomco · 36-40, M

No but if it was my duty such as me somehow becoming an executioner then yes I could do my job.
SW-User
No. I do believe that some people would serve humanity better if they were dead, but I have no desire to take out my personal anger on them. That isn't justice.

@SW-User The Sopranos has a really great couple lines about the topic...
