Mother sets fire to her daughter's gloating rapist
My reaction is mostly "YAY". Does that make me a sick hypocrite?
Edit: this would make me a hypocrite because I'm dead-set (ha!) against the death penalty. How is this any better?
I guess it's better in this sense - one of my main arguments against the death penalty is "what if there was a mistake and the convict is innocent?" By gloating to the mother, either this guy isn't innocent, or he's a sociopathically insensitive fuck. Or, maybe he is innocent and mad about being in jail so long. I guess I don't really have an argument.
