I do not have a lot of sympathy for her position.
Some people need killin. What better candidate than people who harm children?
Hopefully he'll get a deal similar to Sandy Bergers, a fine and probation. Good shooting!
Interesting story...
And not coincidentally, crime has dropped during that same period...
If there was more actual JUSTIcE in this country, there'd be less punitive action taken. But there's little justice to be had around here really.
If you're a Democrat or a Democrat protected class, you can get away with literally, murder.
I say turn the guy loose, give him an updated list of convicted sex offenders (two names crossed out), and a new pistol.
I don't think he's a "hero", but I can understand his motivation. That said, he did murder 2 people, no matter how deserving. He has to go to prison.
Failure to note definition: Level III sex offender, most likely to do it again, not considered "redeemed."
It would have been interesting if he had pled 'not guilty' and gone to trial.
I would vote to convict in a heartbeat, but I'm not so sure it would be all that easy to find a jury of twelve that would reach a 'guilty' verdict.
Seems to me that a travesty of justice has been righted in that particular case.
If the "justice" system would actually mete out justice, there wouldn't be popular support for vigilantes.
"There doesn't seem to be much political room for redemption anymore, and I think that's sad," he said.
This guy clearly has no historical awareness whatsoever. Up until ~ the 1930s, perpetrators of heinous crimes (rape, savage murder or child molestation) would commonly be lynched or beaten to death, which was often a public affair.
So he can be as "sad" as he likes. If this nation was more like it was in 1890, guys like these child molesters would be dangling at the end of ropes from New York to Los Angeles.

And it's a damn disgrace to FreeRepublic that there be some here that condone pre-meditated murder. We're talking about destroying the rule of law here, folks. Don't you realize that you are blowing away the underpinning of our Republic? Wake up!
He said America has become a punitive society, particularly in the past 25 years.
Yeah, because more people are getting sick and tired of the do-nothing crowd and the 'let's give them a group hug and understanding' crowd.
That's a gross understatement when you consider: Eisses, sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison in 1997 for raping a 13-year-old boy, was released from supervision about two years ago. Where is the outrage over this kind of punishment? This is the real story, not the fact that someone, for whatever reason, decided to act as judge, jury and executioner.
"People have far more sympathy for a parent who murdered a child than for one who molested a child," said Rosenfeld, who researched child sex abuse while at Harvard University in the 1970s
Then why does our justice system regularly release these monsters back into society? Recidivism is 100% with child molesters so why does this happen?
"That makes it a little easier to make the step toward cheering violence against them."
Thanks to a government that allows these animals to repeatedly rape and murder the most vulnerable among us, it is very easy to cheer this kind of behavior. This idiot is blaming those who are appalled at the leniency our judicial system shows pedophiles rather than blaming the justice system for refusing to put child molesters away for life.

This person is part of the problem.
