True, even though I get it, the idea that we should abandon our humanity and become bloodthirsty savages with the slightest amount of justification is truly bizarre.
I get that we want to punish evil people and the easiest way to identify an evil person is when they harm children. Despite my wanting to be a better person, I do not feel bad when a father murders a pedophile that victimized their child.
But despite that, I feel like we should at try to do a little better.
It's easy to villainize child abusers, because they're definitely villains. I'm talking more about those who haven't harmed children, just feel the urge to. Early detection is key to prevention.
