If you were sexually abused and raped as child would you kill the person who did it?

[Lovecox]

What a sad story. It's hard to believe the background didn't come up in trial. I don't fault anyone for killing someone who abused them as children. I want to fucking cry right now.

It's horrible! The amount of abuse this man went through for all of those years
Should at least have been considered in the sentencing. I'd probably not give this man much time at all. I concur with Wendy. As a survivor of sexual abuse from my childhood, there are times when I wish I had could confront my abuser as well. Would I kick the living shit outta the person at this point? probably. Would I murder him? Probably not. Buy who am I to judge another persons pain? I fought my demons and won. Not everybody is as lucky

Don't know him, so i don't know.
Some people are broken and can't be fixed, ending his life may be the best thing.
But, before that happens, everyone who abused him should spend a night tied up in his cell.
If they're dragged out alive or not, who gives a fuck.

I would calmly take a life for this, and for other offenses, as a matter of fact.

"Calmly" ?? I think that's more an indication of a sociopath if you done it "calmly". You may want to look into it.

I'd certainly contemplate and most probably act on it, if somebody done this to my loved ones but I'd be seething with rage and anger against them.

Sociopath? Psychopath more like.

With respect, i think i know where OMK's coming from here.
Calmly killing someone, and killing someone calmly are two different things.
If you were heading for the rope, you wouldn't want a nervous hangman.

Precisely my point. A hangman is doing a job. It's cold and he has no emotional involvement.
I think I know what he's trying to say also - but didn't articulate it well.

As Olivia Benson from SVU would say it all pedophiles should be castrated with a steak knife. Its just sad too sad.
