I’m with you. In a just world, predators like this would be taken forthwith from the bar of justice to a place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck until dead, dead, dead.
As things stand, however, there is no way I trust the cops, prosecutors, and others in our so-called criminal justice system with the power of life and death. DNA testing alone is proof enough that capital punishment is immoral under our current system. It’s just too easy for the state to kill an innocent man.
That being said: justice must be served. If Caesar cannot render justice when justice is due, then justice must be served by the aggrieved. It is up to the family of this girl to obtain justice now; Caesar has washed his hands of the matter. The father of this poor little girl should hunt this guy down and kill him, then peacefully surrender to the police and allow a jury to determine if his actions were justified.
If my kid is ever victimized by a predator, God forbid, the predator had better hope the cops get to him before I do, because he is a dead man if I catch him. I would dispatch such a person into eternity without batting an eye, and then call the cops on myself.
God help us all.
I would get rid of him, but I sure wouldn’t call the cops on myself. I try to maximize my odds of not getting caught. If I was questioned by LE, first thing I’d remember is that I have the right to remain silent, and I’d actually shut up. I’d also keep it a complete secret — loose lips sink ships.
