I seldom start or engage in “if” scenarios, but I will make an exception here.
I was the father of a special needs daughter(she passed away about 7 years ago).
I can honestly say that “held without bail” is the safest place on this Earth for those thugs. Life in solitary would be the next best smart move.
“If” that had been my daughter that was kidnapped and tortured, it would have been #2 on my list of priorities to remove those four from society in a slow, painful matter. Their parents(who raised them and gave them their respect for others’ lives) would know what happened. Their bodies would never be found.
Years ago, my daughter got hurt at school due to a teacher’s negligence. My wife explained to the principal, “This needs to be taken care of now. You DO NOT want my husband to get involved!
There’s an original Twilight Zone episode that comes to mind.
As the torturer nears his end, the man delivering him his excruciating due says: “This is not hatred, this is retribution. This is not revenge, this is Justice. But this is only the beginning, only the beginning, your final judgement will come from God.”
I’m sorry for your loss.
