i can't help but feel that this is way more justice than he'd get in jail.
From what I understand, child rapists are very likely to get beaten, raped or killed themselves while in jail by their fellow inmates. When you go to prison, you don't want your fellow prisoners to know that you're there for raping a child. Not defending them, just saying, they do get quite an amount of 'justice' enacted on them.

I can understand the rage of the community, but attacking and lynching is never a good thing. We have a justice system in place for a reason, and civilians have no right to take things into their own hands.


Not around so much now that school's started

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
