hhunaeh Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 As a third party to this crime, i.e not belonging to either the victim's side or the perpetrator's side should we be taking the father's side or asking for the matter to be resolved in court and the guilty to be punished as per the law? It is a given that a father would be emotional and might want to take the law into his own hands, that's his right and his burden, but this also means that we as the third party should think logically and ask for the due process to be followed. Nobody's asking what you would do if you were the father, as most people would sympathize with the father's position. There is very less to argue there. But here you are being asked to react as a third person.

Two months anger built up seeing the rapist behave like nothing happened while him watching the raped daughter going through trauma everyday. It is legally wrong . But given his circumstances he did what he thought would serve his retribution. Not everyone will be looking at this action with same perspective. But most of the time criminals especially rapists are not going to have iota of fairness or sympathy.

I agree it is difficult to wait for due process when it is to do with your own children. But is this how a third party should reason is my question?

When we are In a land where justice is not swift enough or fair enough the reaction for vigilante justices for rapists is going to be favorable towards them. This guy was not willing to put his daughter through a horrible process of defense lawyer tearing her apart in the court . If you understand that plight you will understand his actions too.

The father has the right to be emotional and the understanding, if not acceptance, of a large section of society if he takes the law into his own hands, and because the father has this right, we as a third party have a responsibility to think logically and ask for the law to be followed. Everybody can't end up thinking emotionally like the father. I'll leave it at that. got to go now.

But here you are being asked to react as a third person. When such an incident happens,the sympathy lies with the 14 year old girl and her father,that is the way a normal 3rd party would react......No third party reacts to such incidents by thinking from a perspective of law and order and ethics like you are implying.
randomGuy Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 ^^^You really do take rape very lightly . If by that, you mean that I do not celebrate torture and murder of every rapist (without even knowing the extent of damage caused to the girl) like you, then yes. 'moral judge', 'idealist', 'not loving family women enough', 'taking rapes very lightly' ...keep it coming..you guys are very mature.
