If it happened to me or to someone I love, I would feel the same way as the victim. For a minute. Then I would come to my senses and realize that the perpetrator should be punished but not in that way. There's got to be another way. I don't know what it is but "an eye for an eye" isn't it. What separates us from them if we commit the same act? This is just an awful crime and my opinion is not meant to minimize the victim's pain and suffering but violence begets violence. Punish him to the fullest extent of the law but do not become what he is.
