Murdering a murderer makes you one!

Was this revelation difficult to come by?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

No. For others it is though.

[acesupyersleeve.livejournal.com]

Yeah it does. But what if the murderer aint gonna stop? What if that's the only way to save a bunch more people?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Then you have no other choice, I supposed, unless he can be jailed. I would be wrong if I said kill is never necessary.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

Some believe that is justice.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

I would say that in most but not all cases they are wrong.

[literary-james.livejournal.com]

Seconded, man. It's why I'm against the death penalty. We kill people who kill people to show that killing people's wrong. Where's the logic in that?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's illogical. Self defense or defense of others is one thing but otherwise there is no excuse. Killing someone isn't revenge it's.... just more blood.

[dr-solomon.livejournal.com]

A murderer ties his or her own noose by violating the sanctity of life.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Well said, Dr. Solomon. However, killing the killer won't bring back those he's killed. It won't bring justice just more death. And if you kill a killer, you're a killer too! No better than he is.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

...

No, it doesn't.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Yes it does.

[bigsharkgrin.livejournal.com]

We can live with that.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can.

[cordy-chase1.livejournal.com]

So what? It's called justice.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

No it's not. It's called revenge. Revenge is not just; it's petty.

[possessingbadge.livejournal.com]

Not if they are already dead-ish.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

What does dead-ish mean? I figured your dead or your alive, no ish.

[shoesandweapons.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna take the opposing side and say it's justice, Hammurabi style.

[literary-james.livejournal.com]

Okay, I usually hate when people interject? But I had to do it to say that, quoting Gandhi, "An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind."

Then again .. you're talking to a guy who doesn't believe in senseless killing, so.

[effingconfused.livejournal.com]

What if they murder themselves because of outstanding circumstances?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

Self defense or defense of others or of those who cannot defend themselves is something different. It's killing but not murder I'd say.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

What if you...assisted?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Then you'd also be one, I think. I don't know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Someone has to be the one to make themselves a murder to protect the people that would be killed. It takes a lot to look at someone and take a life when you're doing it because you value life.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[nocompromising.livejournal.com]

I'm okay with that.

[knownallbyheart.livejournal.com]

So...someone who ended the life of a multi-murderer...a multi-murderer who would have continued to murder thousands, perhaps millions, of people...you would call him a murderer?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Yes. It doesn't mean he didn't have reason to become one but he is one nonetheless. Generally there are alternatives. Jail. Mental institutions.


[ooc- he's loosely a Harry Potter Character too, so he's got an idea of who she's speaking of]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but no. Don't agree.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

You have the right not to agree, Bee. There are situations where there is no other choice, I am sure. Defense of others, self-defense, like you said, cops and soldiers. I'm speaking here about revenge and about attempting to find justice this way.

[enough-nerve.livejournal.com]

Then most of the adults you know are murderers, I'm afraid.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

I think I'd disagree with that.

[bentnotbroke.livejournal.com]

That's true, unfortunately.

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[soulfor-sale.livejournal.com]

So what's your alternative?

[magicanyway.livejournal.com]

Jail. Mental Hospitals. Making people work to better the people they've wronged.

[thegraduate09.livejournal.com]

An eye for an eye.

That's justice.

[a-bittwisted.livejournal.com]

No, not really.

Murder is the unlawful killing of someone, usually with premeditated malice, rarely for any sane reason. Murder is brutal.

Killing a murderer? Is justice.

[man-wholived.livejournal.com]

...No, not particularly. Some of the time, sure. It makes you a killer, definitely, but there's a different intent, most of the time, between doing away with a murderer and actual murder.

[ruined-god.livejournal.com]

There are some who death is the only way to stop them. My kind break the rules it's an instant death sentence, though they send Wolves and cats to detention centers, where they're lucky if they are ever released. All for the sake of protecting humans.

Witches... it's a case by case thing, if you kill with magic you're killed, they don't trust you not to do it again.
