    But who are the second group to know what's been going on? All they see is two blokes kicking the shit out of a third.

    That's why the justified argument fails here.

    I might acquit a spouse or a grown child or a parent for dispatching someone who committed a criminal act against them or theirs, but an entire neighborhood? Not so much.

    I'm not trying to justify it legally.

    So which aspect of it triggered the smile? The vigilante part?

    The idea that at least ONE of the fuckin animals which make life difficult for the rest of us got an immediate comeuppance for his error. Every once in a while, one of the scumbags we'd all be better off without gets an on-the-spot consequence for his or her preditory behavior. without going through a long and tedious process of trying (and very often succeeding) to acomplish an escape from consiquence.

    This pleases me.

    That's just a longwinded way of saying "the vigilante part".

    I can understand the desire for instant gratification regarding punishment of someone so clearly guilty, but in a lawful society I also find it a very dangerous thing to tolerate, let alone praise.

    Let me walk you through it:

    you said "(I'm) not going to get on the hill with the rest"

    I said, in essence, "you won't be missed (on the hill)"


    reading comprehension is your friend.

    Exactly....a friend comes over to help you move.
    A good friend comes over to help you move....a body. :P

    Seriously though...they didn't handle this in the most efficent manner, but I admire their spirit. I would have zero pity if I caught a rapist, especially raping in front of kids. Fuck sending them to prison so they can get out eventually and do it again....I'm guessing they'll never get out of a body bag barring a miracle.

    Woah woah woah wait. How do we know this alleged rapist wasn't just trying to spread his love?

    Do we really think something as silly as consent should come between a man and his penis? :jayzus:

    not hostile at all...just someone has to love you enough to tell you the truth.

    Your intense hatred of all things even tangentially connected to Christianity has turned you into a one trick pony every bit as much as Cass.


    you don't believe, and you scorn anyone who does - it's cool, we get it....in 16 ft high neon colored letters.

    no problem.

    now....what ELSE do you have to contribute to any given conversation?

    Anything?

    anything at all?

    Bueller?



    (and I say this as a person who has purposely dialed back the God stuff about as much as is possible and still acknowledge his existence....so it's not like you are offending me...you're just being exceedingly tedious)

    This thread wasn't about christianity, it was about you being a bloodthirsty medieval vengeance freak.

    I just sprinkled some Jesus shit on to twist your tit.

    That you're a bloodthirsty medieval vengeance freak?

    Well, maybe we're making progress here.
