Just because a person does not think lethal force being necessary to solve the problem as line up here, he DOES NOT condone actions to make children suffer.You claiming that indicates to me that this is more an emotional issue than anything else."A child is in danger of rape. Off with the perps head! It's ok because he deserved it!"There are indications in the description that the perp did not intend to kill the girl (she had suffered before). So to stop the rape, the paladin could have taken a five foot step and placed himself between the perp and the victim. Or even just said, "what's all this then?". Do you think the rapist would have carried through with his foul deed if he had realised someone else was in the room? He would probably have turned against the paladin. Sure there is a possibility of a hostage sitaution, which is why the paladin could have placed himself between the perp and the victim.Does a line of reasoning like the one above prove that anyone that thinks like this is condoning child abuse.Of course not.Maggan</blockquote>
