Donna, here is the question i asked :-
By simply saying that he was sick, do you think that absolves him from the evil deeds and excuses his behaviour?
To which you answered No
i have said nothing that you your self have not said or implied.
Goodnight

how do we really know that though? Surely it isn't normal to be evil?

Az, What is termed normality is what is acceptable by society as a whole.
Society is being eroded in dribs and drabs by unacceptable behaviour being accepted bit at a time. Before we realise all types of behaviour which was not acceptable in the past is considered normal. I wont mind falling off my perch before it goes too far 🙂

that, that is actually a very good point. Are we any better to want to cause him evil harm?

. he doesn't have to be a product of hell, just a weak self centred crim. poddy, your idea of punishment (which i doubt you could carry out) is a bit over the top. its hard to get deader than dead, drawing and quartering a corpse has no effect on it.

Even the bible preaches "an eye for an eye....."
Question, what if it had been your daughter that he kidnapped and raped?
Would you still think my punishment towards him was harsh and evil?
Why are you bothering to use the bible??? It just makes you sound ignorant. THe only punishment for raping these girls according to the bible is he gets to marry them.

LL I would rather he was alive, in a cell where he was isolated from everything, to not see another human being again.... ever.
collectively he deprived 3 young girls of 30 years of any social interaction he repeatedly raped and tortured them and thought that was fair enough. He should have endured what he dished out.
