Message: <blockquote data-quote="Homicidal_Squirrel" data-source="post: 6214100" data-attributes="member: 6750031">Normally I would agree with you, but the sequence of actions doesn't seem to support that, or at least not from the start. The woman knew her husband had child porn. From Danny's description, it is not known for how long she knew. Also, his interest in nazis was more than likely something that was not kept a secret from her. Most people would rather you know they are nazis than into children. In any case, she should have known. Also, the guy had been abusing her. For how long, we don't know. Still, it probably wasn't something new. Chances are the guy had been abusive, maybe not sexually, to his daughter. The woman, knowing all this, decided to kill herself. Maybe she thought it was the only way she could get away from her husband. Maybe she thought if she was dead, her husband couldn't hurt her. Whatever her reasons, she did not take her daughter's, or anyone else's, welfare into consideration. Yes, she changed her mind and decided to not kill herself, but instead kill the guy. so...I don't think it was vigilantism, nor do I think it was her trying to protect her daughter. That may be what she said, but that isn't what her behavior before the killing indicates to me. It's quite possible that she killed him to get back at him for all the years of abuse. That he had child porn and could have started to, if he hadn't already, abuse his own daughter seems like a convenient excuse for the murder. Her actions are understandable, but even understandable actions can be illegal.</blockquote>
