Has anyone ever seen the TV series "Dexter" on Showtime? If you haven't I will give you a short description. Dexter is a middle-aged single man who works for the Miami CSI basically, he has access to all sorts of information and files that he uses to research potential "targets". He has this sickness that is basically I need to kill others and he satiates that hunger by murdering bad guys for lack of a better word.
Recently I was told that my girlfriends uncle had a gun put to his head while two intruders raped hi 18 year old daughter and wife. If that wouldn't make you want to kill someone I don't know if anything would. When I heard this story I immediately felt most sad for her uncle, left there helpless to do nothing while the two most important women in his life were violated in the most wrong way possible. If I were him and these two somehow escaped the law I would have no problem hunting them down and murdering them. I would not think was I was doing was wrong at all.
What are your thoughts? Is vigilante justice something that can benefit society? I don't mean that everyone is just killing people. But are there ever instances in which you could kill another human and feel no remorse and also have a sense of accomplishment?
