since when are you allowed to (very publicly) make death threats and are able to get away with it?

His son was murdered and the guy ate his son, too.
His wife is also dead.
But no, he should show compassion and reserve. Totally.

Hmmm, you remind me of another person from another post where she kept saying you don't know what I've been through, so don't judge me, Im not crazy for thinking the way I do.
I don't care about what you've been through. Most people have been through horrible things in life, but they don't use it to back up their arguments every chance they get. Your attitude towards the father is insensitive and you clearly lack empathy, so whatever.

Ah, a comment that exemplifies why this entire forum is a place of groupthink.
Anyone who disagrees from the majority opinion, even if that person is the only one using logic, is shunned and it is stated that their opinion isn't worth anything.
What a crappy forum. MI has only threads where an emotionally filled opinion is laid out, and murmurs of assent from the rest of the masses whilst ignoring any aspect of logic or any opinion that isn't the same.
Just because the murderer deserves it (and this is also debatable) doesn't mean it's right for the father to kill him.
"Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Or maybe the majority is correct.

Hashim, I'm annoying? Right.
Anyway,
Try to think of this scenario:
There's a third party who's holding the murderer's son and wife hostage.
The third party says "take this child, and kill him" or I'll kill your wife and son in the most brutal way possible.
Is the murderer still deserving of death?

I love when people quote books, it really shows you're connected to reality. Can you think of an intelligent quote on your own or do you really need an author to do it for you.

^This.
I love how people are making it out to sound like I'm a cold hearted ***** who has no empathy for a father whose son has been killed and thinking that I'm using my emotions to win this or whatever the **** she thought.

The term is quotation, you ****ing moron. Stop trying to make a fool of yourself.
You're trying to argue against great thinkers and writers? Please.
That's like saying "stop quoting scientific articles, can't you think of M theory on your own?" |

Isn't that what the father is doing basically?

No, I'm arguing you're stupid because you are using another persons work because you cant make a point on your own. Go read a book, Mr. Smartypants.
Keep in ming quoting intelligent people doesn't make you intelligent. Many people can copy and paste something from wikipedia.

He already made his point without the quotation.

Lol sorry, in science we back up our arguments with citations by people smarter than ourselves.
I guess in social science you just say whatever you want regardless of how ridiculous the premise of your argument may be and get marks for it, eh?
My point was as follows:
Try to think of this scenario:
There's a third party who's holding the murderer's son and wife hostage.
The third party says "take this child, and kill him" or I'll kill your wife and son in the most brutal way possible.
Is the murderer still deserving of death?
Does he deserve to undergo torture (plus the jail time, plus the horror of killing an innocent child) because he wanted to save his wife and kids from their torture?
