  1. We do take justice into our own hands. The Death Penalty, to me, is a form of revenge justice. He killed her, so I will kill "Him" - I think we cannot have it both ways...Or can we?

    1. I think that we could kill some one if they killed someone.
      "Eye for an eye."

  2. I think I would leave it as is because if I do some I could go to jail and he would still be free to hurt people.

    1. So we must take justice into our own hands? What if by the off chance that you are mistaken and he is innocent? Have you killed an innocent man. Can we take this risk?

    2. What would happen if they committed murder again? Would you feel responsible for this crime, knowing that you could have prevented it. Would if you had the chance to kill Hitler, thus preventing the death of millions...would you?

    3. If they commit murder again they would go to jail because they would know this time. If i had the chance to kill hitler I would.

  3. I think that If the law can't help then you do it your self.

    1. I pose the question to you...what if your mistaken? Is this the price we pay for justice?

      Delete
    2. But if you did something about if then would you take the chances to be in prison for a while

      Delete
    3. Well if I killed someone I would rather take the punishment from the government then get killed by some person.

      Delete
  4. But if I kill him then I will go to prison, or I could just leave it alone because he might change in life.

  5. I don't think I would have done anything because what if he came back and killed ill just let karma get back at him/her

    1. So you are saying that "Karma" is a real force that brings justice to all. What if the person gets away with it and commits several more murders?

      Delete
    2. How about if before karma gets him he hurts more kids or adults and he does not get caught or some one from your family.

  6. If a person from my family was killed and I knew the person that killed my family member and he was declared innocent I wood take matters in to my own hands.

  7. If the cops don't do nothing to put him or her away and their free to hurt more people then yes I would do something to stop

      Delete
    2. If they killed someone I loved then yes I would risk jail time

    3. Yeah if you have to commit murder so be it.

  8. If the law does not do some thing in my privilege of one of my beloved I will step in and do the right thing. So I think the law should punish the bad people.

  9. If someone killed my family and I was the only one who survived and the police didn't find the killer I would track him down and kill him

    1. So you will be willing to face jail time? Of course, assuming if they "did find the body?"

      Delete
    2. I would be ready to face jail time don't have my family anymore so I wouldn't care (but they won't find the body where I would hide it)

      Delete
  10. If the law fails to do anything I would take matters into my own hands.

  11. I would leave it how it is because we have consequences and if I kill a person I would become a murderer, so I would just wait till karma bites them.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would let carma get him back because I believe that they will pay for what they have done.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I don't think I'd do anything. Ever, because I don't wanna spend life in prison. If someone killed my family I'd probably just kill my self because I'm nothing with out them. Especially because I'm so young. That would suck.

    1. What if you did not act and then that person did commit another crime...would you feel responsible?

      Delete
    2. Id be dead I wouldn't feel anything

      Delete
    3. What if they tortured your family to death what would you do?

      Delete
  14. If something happened to me or anybody I love I would take justice in my hands

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think we shouldn't take justice in are own hands because there's a reason why we do this so the bad people get what they deserve even if it meant killing them because how do we know that there not going to do it agin we don't so they get what they did

    ReplyDelete
  16. If someone would kill my family I would not kill them because I would not want to go to jail for life because I would want to live my life.

    1. What about your family? You would honestly be able to live your life, knowing that your whole entire family is dead? How do you live without your mom,dad, brother and sister?

      Delete
  17. If my family got killed, and I was the only survivor than of course I'm going to go after him everyday, until I found them, and then if I got into trouble by the government, I would be perfectly fine with that, because I would know that I did my job.

    1. By taking matters into my own hands. I honestly wouldn't be able to live without my family.

    2. Nether could I but killing the person won't bring them back

      Delete
    3. And it would be so much better to see him rot in prison.

      Delete
    4. No but he would be in there for the rest of his life yes it would feel like crap and I would feel angry but they will not com back

      Delete
  18. I would like to kill that person but my family would wont me to forgive him for what he did and god would help me and he all way have a plan for me. And I would be mad for a long time but you forgive

    ReplyDelete
  19. I would much rather see him rot in prison but if they won't put him there I would take him to a different country that there is know law about murder. And then come back here.

    1. What if you were wrong...a case of mistaken identity?

      Delete
  20. I think we should take it upon us because if the law doesn't put him or her in jail .then you must do the right thing even if you are putting your life in danger and serve jail time.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I would try to get him in jail but if not I would do it myself and make the law realize what the person did was wrong.

    1. What if you could not prove your case?

      Delete
    2. I agree with you because if u do kill the person it will only ne the laws fault

      Delete
    3. If I couldn't prove it I will try until I have completely believed they Are innocent.

      Delete
    4. Would you risk going to jail though?

      Delete
  22. I would take matters into my own hands because if they won't throw him in prison then I would have to do something about

    ReplyDelete
  23. I believe I would have punish that person myself and take on any punishment because if they killed my family and I only survive I got nothing to lose

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. So you would be willing to go to prison? What if you killed the wrong person? Or what if someone innocent was hurt in the process?

      Delete
    2. Yes, because why would that person be there during that accident

      Delete
  24. If the law doesn't punish someone that should be punished as much as I would want to do something to that person I would probably let Karma punish that person.

    1. What if the person was never punished? What if the person committed another crime? Would you feel responsible?

      Delete
    2. Well, if that person was never punished then I would not be able to do anything about that. My family would love to see me doing good not bad.

      Delete
  25. Well if someone killed my family I would try that person if I see him I would see how he looks and take a picture and report it to the police.

    ReplyDelete
  26. If a person kill my family and I saw him do it and he did not go to jail I would kill him.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think I would leave it as it is because if I killed him/her I could go to jail..

    ReplyDelete
  28. I will just let something bad happen to him and then I would leave it like that because if I do something to him and he dies I don't want to go to jail just because I kill him. So that is what I will do instead of killing people and going to jail. But if he kills someone else and he gets away from it I will kill him the next time I see him.

  29. If the law doesn't punish the criminal then I would kill that criminal if he were to attack me, self defense right
