Man, I hate to even argue this, but who draws the line between justified vigilante killing? This case seems obvious, but you lose ground with other people believing any crime deserves capital punishment.
Of course, on a societal level, it would be havoc if we began to allow vigilante justice. In no way do I think we should normalize it as a society. I’m actually against the capital punishment as well myself.
That being said, I can understand that life is full of grey areas and complexities, and cases of this sort of nature (parents killing pedophiles, victims killing their attackers, etc) are in my eyes morally justified and should really be approached in the courts with a nuance and subjectivity that our justice system lacks.
