[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1523220, member: 19397"] I had read it in an article on Fox News. The biggest point here is: will your daughter be better off with you in prison or with you at home? Statistically speaking, she will be better off with you at home. Life is one giant chess game, only looking to one move ahead has probably landed this guy in prison. While I'll agree that what the perpetrator did was not positive, and that he needs to go to jail, does he deserve to die? Ie., what was his crime that determined he should die? In this case, no jury would convict him AND sentence him to death, so what gave the girl's father the right to do so? Did the deceased actually commit a crime, or was he just really creepy? Let me share a story: When I was 4, my dad was playing at a club that was packed with fans. I was being passed around for hugs and good-byes with friends (like people do with their friends' and family) and some random guy came up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. My father, who had done serious karate training for the past 15 years, threatened to kill the guy-he meant it and could have pulled it off. What would have happened with my life if that had happened? Where would I be today? I can promise you it's not where I'm at now. [/QUOTE]
