you mean accept Jesus Christ as their savior and TRULY repent from their perverted ways, yes?\n\nThen I WOULD forgive them.\nI'm not saying right away.. but I'll try as hard as I can to let go. \n\nJesus said, "If you cannot forgive people that have wronged you, then how you expect God to forgive your sin?"\n\nYou see, if we view everything from our own eyes, it is very hard to do the will of Christ.\nWe feel that we are better than the murderer or rapist.\nbut, the fact is we are not.\nSin is equal in the eye of God...\n\nWhen we lie, cheat, steal, commit an adultery, we are all accounted as sinner in front of God.\n\nIf you expect to be forgiven by God of ALL your sin, then you should be able to forgive those so called murderer and rapist.\n\nSaying that you won't forgive them is basically repeating the role of Pharisee in the bible.\n\nThe so called "holy" men refused to pardon a tax collector, a whore, and so on.\n\nDo you know God gave christ to us so that we can follow His ways? Do you realize that Christ forgave a criminal on the day of His death?\n\nIn human ways, I, too cannot forgive murderers and Rapists.\nBut, I have the Holy spirit in me that enable me to do so.\n\n\nPlease be warned though "Forgiveness" is thru grace (as we received forgiveness from the Lord thru His mercy).\n\n"Trust," however, is something that we need to earn.\nSo, after I forgive those, they need to earn my trust be4 I will allow them to be near me and my family.

It depends. Did she file a report or is she pressing charges? Did they take pictures of her wounds? If she is pressing charges then most likely they will go to the address that she gave them for him and arrest him.

Child molester--***"Hell"*** ( But theres only one real judge and He will make that choice.) Other than that, I would sentence a child molester to the longest, slowest, most painful death anyone, anywhere could come up with. Because to me a child molester is the lowest of all lows.I cannot bear the thoughts of anyone stealing a childs innonence away for their own disgusting pleasures. Honestly I cant put all i think should happen to a child molester on here. As for a serial killer, thats alittle harder, yet I guess if you take a life you should be willing to give up yours. I cant say on this one because it would all depend on what the circumstances were. But there still would have to be a very severe sentence handed down. I just dont know what i would do, if it were my choice. This is why I'm not a judge i suppose. And last, the lil' ole man, again circumstaces would have to decide his fate. Damn, I glad I'm not the Judge, just those 3 has me bent already !!! I at least, now, know what I never want to be!  :)

What if the person is convicted and then punished accordingly by your standards here and it comes to light that he/she was in fact innocent? I cannot tell you how many time I have heard horror stories about abuse. both physical and sexual, and what gets to me is how detailed and convincing stories can be only to find out they were false. Castration isn't an issue as there are a LOT of abusers who have nothing to castrate (women abusers) and even some abusers who ARE castrated. Killing them isn't an option at all because "Thou shalt not commit murder". Taking the life of another human being for any reason IS murder, even if they would deserve it, even if they themselves committed murder, even in a war. But in EVERY court action of rape and molestation, after a defendant is convicted, the victims or victims family DO get to make statements to the court and the jury and/or judge hears these pleas and pass sentence accordingly. Allowing these victims to pass judgment alone would not work because of the emotional issue as already stated. Also, which family member gets to decide if they are not unanimous??

I'm not going to get ten points for this answer, but I agree with you 100%. The person who is murdered doesn't have to live the rest of their lives with the memory of being raped, or molested like a child would. Granted the family of the person murdered would suffer greatly, but then so would the family of a little girl who was molested. Some murders happen in a fit of rage, but molestors know fully what they are going to do in advance. Its a tough call, but I have to child molestors are the bottom of the barrel.

Oh yes !!!!! Do the crime do the time ........................... you could set up different punishments for different crimes ..... Theft ..... once - one hand off ..... twice - other hand off (wouldn't do it again) Think about rape !!!!!!!

absolutely.. if they are capable of murder, the authoraties need to know before it happens again.  It will be hard, but imagine how much worse you'd feel if they murdered several other people as well, and you had the ability to stop it.

If the murdered person was an abuser, or murderer themselves, yes. Ordinary people no, can they not be the people they are, live the way they desire without being killed by a psyco?

For the most part, yes. Rapist may be too strong though, there are other words.

Depends on what he's done in the past and where he's going in the future.\n\nObviously, I wouldn't feel safe with someone convicted of rape or murder or anything like that. Trust would definitely be an issue too, but if you can overcome that, then you should have a very happy future.

Let's wait to see if anyone's convicted before we start judging.  From what we have heard in the news media there are too many holes that need filled in.  \n\nIf someone is convicted hang 'em but let us extend the same courtesy that we would like to have if we were accused of a crime

Considering that the motive has not been released to the public, how can that question be answered? If she killed him out of greed or malice, no. If she killed him because of abuse to herself or the children, yes.

The blame would fall on the man who killed his estranged wife.\n\nAssuming that due process was followed after the violation of the restraining orders, what else could anyone have done?  In this country you can't lock someone up for something they MIGHT do.  \n\nA murderer isn't a murderer until he or she actually kills somebody.\n\nThen, of course, it is too late.

you need a shrink - someone who says they were raped and wants to know if they should tell someone is full of sh!t - are you that bored? oh, by the way you told someone in between asking youor questions? grow up

?  \n\nIf woman KILLS the perpetrator, then the perp is dead, not the woman.  Or are they both dead?\n\nIf the perp is dead, there won't be an arrest. Because he or she is DEAD.  But there will be a criminal reports filed and other legal/court issues.  \n\nIf you want to know how how the woman would defend herself in court, she needs a lawyer, who would most likely plea Self Defense on her behalf.\n\nIf you want to know about Victim Restitution, you have the check the laws for your particular state or country to make the proper applications.
