[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6215270, member: 8835"] I don't think we are. On page one of this thread, I already pointed that out that she technically could have called the cops. I accept that there are MULTIPLE solutions to the problem of the bad husband. Some legal, some not. I actually don't care about the legality of the solutions from the perspective of a Court of Law. i am a big fan of vigilante justice, providing it is directed at the appropriate target and doesn't miss and there's sufficient evidence the target was evil. Sometimes the person at ground zero SHOULD be the judge, jury and executioner. And if they are wrong, the legal system will take care of that. So the fact that this guy at SOME past point would have been in an active event where she WOULD have been justified in shooting him, merely means she had a delayed reaction in ACTUALLY shooting him. Given that she didn't actually need to put on a costume and stalk him, is OK with me. Given that I also live in the real world and have to obey the laws of the land that I may or may not agree with, the woman also does. She was charged and went to trial. This wasn't swept under the rug. A jury of her peers found her guilty and chose a light punishment for her. I'm sorry you didn't get the outcome you wanted which apparently was to see her go to jail and not raise her own daughter. Such is life in a society. Sometimes I get what I want, sometimes you get what you want. I do not think it does society any good to bemoan the fact that a court case didn't go the way you wanted. So long as no harm was done, let's move on. [/QUOTE]
