Many people agree pedophiles deserve harder punishments. And I think not that few people think when pedophiles get raped in prison, they deserved it.
I personally am disturbed at the thought of of this. There is something wrong with humanity if people turn a blind eye or cheer on any kind of violence. I don't think this is a good thing. Raping a rapist is not a good thing, ever.
This reminds me of medieval times, should be cut a thiefs hand off? I'm sure that's quite the detterent, but I would not encourage such thing.
Wishing somebody to be raped is a terrible thing. I am glad we got rid of the eye for an eye system. It's barbaric. For some reason many are still fine with an eye for an eye system it in this case, I am not.
I understand that an innocent kid will be traumatized for life and all that stuff. That's a huge problem. I think the penalty for it should be high, but the penalty should not be getting raped. Ever.
We should strive to understand why stuff like this happens, what can we do to prevent it and encourage people to seek help.
In which cases is vigilante justice justified? Assume you are dad of an ill child. It needs medication but the pharma industry only has overprized medication with the sole purpose to increase profits. Would it be justified to steal the medication?
In a perfect world we wouldn't allow this to happen in the first place. But that's an easy thing to say when you are born into an imperfect world. Whoever creates and benefits from this kind of situation knows that people won't like it.
My first thought is that it would not be justified to steal the medication. I understand somebody could do it, I probably would steal it. That does not make it justified. For a father their kid are important, for most people it's just one of the 2 billion kids in the world.
When I write it, I ask myself a lot of question. So when somebody breaks into my house, am I allowed to use violence? Let's say using violence is not legal here in such circumstance. Should I just call the police and wait? It's a complicated world. My vision is idealistic, we can improve as humanity, but it will take time, and we will never entirely get rid of such problems.
There is also a question of why the burglar is doing this. Is it because life forced him to do this, or is it because of greed? Greed is terrible. Just stealing because it's quick money and you don't want to contribute to the society and don't care if it hurts others.. is terrible. If you don't want to contribute to society, that's understandable.. But if somebody doesn't want to contribute to the society but you "force" them to (by not allowing them to die), don't be surprised if people start doing terrible stuff just to improve their life.
So many questions. What drives those people? Was there any other way to achieve their goals? Why does the system allow such things to happen, what can be done about it? Firstly, don't allow a few people amass a huge amount of money or power. It's fucked up that sometimes doing bad things is rewarded, that evil goes unpunisehd or ever is rewarded.
My thoughts are all over the place, it's just a complex topic. I can't just answer "Pedophiles do not deserve to be raped. I would steal, but stealing in such case would not be justified." This comment is a mess. I also start thinking that stealing would be justified if we are trying to fix a broken system. The survival of a kid would outweigh the cost for the company. But in the long run it's not how we fix overpriced medication problem. Okay, I stop it now, I promise.
