Your thoughts on this scenario?

So a man rapes and kills another man's wife and kills his son as well. Gets off on the crime because of no conclusive evidence and a great lawyer (or paid the judge; whatever). The victim (husband) plans over the course of a few years to pay this guy back.

He ends up capturing the guy cutting off his arms/legs, puts bleach in his eyes, cuts off his tongue/genitals and then takes him to the hospital to get professional care before dying (this is assuming he closed the wounds before he bled to death, and put him on some sort of pain killer so he wouldn't die from shock). Then he leaves the state and moves on with life.

Never committed a crime in his existence except that one, and he does eventually get caught by the cops and it's on the news everywhere. Yes it's like the movie law abiding citizen but the difference is the man LET the man LIVE. AND that was the only manslaughter he committed, he left the judge and police advocates alone, he just wanted to ensure the bad guy never hurts/kills another innocent again.

SO with that said.....how would you respond to the incident if seen on the news? Do you support it? Should he be free from prosecution or should he do time?

If he should do time, what are your thoughts about the REAL LIFE story of the man who beat his relative to death after he witnessed him attempting to rape his daughter? Should THAT man be prosecuted?

Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Update:

@GKnyght: For the second scenario the real life story is here i believe.

    Not enough information to say anything for sure about the first bit. I mean...if there was no conclusive evidence, the person who raped and killed the wife and killed the kid could be someone other than the person the victim thinks it is for all I know.

    But if I had to have an opinion, I think he should do time. Because I believe that two wrongs do not make a right. What's to stop this person from doing something like that again except this time to an innocent person who he THINKS is guilty of something? So I think he should do time to gain an understanding that what he did was wrong. He could have tried to find conclusive evidence instead.

    For the second scenario, again, two wrongs do not make a right. Also lacking a lot of information. He didn't need to kill his relative. He could've stopped the rape attempt and called the authorities and have had that person serve time or get the mental help that might have been needed. Should he be prosecuted? Yes. He committed the act of murder.

    Disclaimer: These are my opinion and my opinion only. If I were to be placed in the same situations, I truly do not know what I would do. I only hope that I have enough sanity left to make the morally right decisions should I ever be placed in those situations.

    You want my honest opinion? The man who killed the mans wife and son got everything he deserved. There's only one difference between him an I. I would have killed him. Call me evil, hateful, awful, I don't care. I would have mixed ammonia and bleach on a bucket then trapped him in a small room with it. Seeing these kinds of story's makes you question America's justice system. I can't even explain what I would do to him. With that being said I believe he doesn't need to serve time. He needs to be put down like the dog he is.

    How astounding to have a nicely concept out question this morning. I even have bred horses for the final 30 years. I even have considered first hand that temperament is truthfully surpassed on, and by no potential greater so then with one among my "foundation" mares. We concept her fairly kooky disposition replaced into brought about with the help of mistreatment (does that sound regularly occurring), however I might desire to declare coping with a horse like her she might motivate mistreatment. She had a complete of 11 foals for us, and each and all of us of them had a sprint a screw loose, some greater then others. i attempted imprinting lots of them to work out if that made a distinction, and it somewhat did not. however none of them have been as undesirable as she replaced into, 10 out of 11 have been very such as her. I basically comprehend of the various 2d technology yet those all appeared good. little question that loss of having the dam imprint the undesirable habit on the foal for 4 months additionally had some thing to do with it besides. Flash forward to 5 years in the past. i'm given a very marvelous mare, bred to the hilt, faultless conformation. She has a habit of throwing herself down while somebody is driving her while she might get annoyed or mad. WIth a real setting up saddle issues have been greater effectual yet I positioned 3 somewhat frustrating years into her. She replaced into like the female with a curl, while she replaced into good she replaced into very very good and while she replaced into undesirable she replaced into risky. I gained numerous appropriate situation awards along with her in staying power driving, yet sometime on the course while she replaced into having one among her nicely-known tantrums thank you to close to to a cliff side i desperate I had adequate. inspite of each and all of the exceptional stallions I very own with rock solid inclinations i replaced into unlikely to reproduce her as i won't pass on that temperament. I gave her to a pal who has her as a pasture puppy. Temperament is very heritable. all people who gets a purebred dogs and thinks the way you strengthen this is going to alter its genetic hardwiring is delusional. that doesn't propose you will not have a man or woman Collie who won't herd or a Staffie who likes different canines- there are continually anomolies yet lower back they don't look to be the norm.
