would you avenge your son ?

Assume you have a son

Say he was murdered

If you had the chance to avenge him without any consequences

Would you or would you let him spend life in prison?

*Avenge* but yes I would avenge him

Make him suffer in a hell I've created for him.

@kgb725: damn spell check

Vengeance will be mine. The murderer will feel my wrath....and then some.

I would rain fire on the Gods, and bring down the Gates Of Hell.

there would be nowhere on Earth the killer could hide from me

Depends on my son. If it's not what he would have wanted, then I'll just beat the crap out of him and let him rot in prison.

If not, then he's dead.

Avenge? No Consequences? I would drag the guy through the city with his guts.

Depends on why he was murdered

Of course

Undoubtably.

I think it depends on the circumstances... if my son was innocent and he gets killed by some scumbag... then whoever did it is going "Down Into Oblivion"... on the other hand, if my son was a criminal who got himself into a situation where he was killed... it maybe harder to have desire to avenge my child... especially if my son had killed someone himself.

Damn damn damn. Yes

@king_saturn: that answer surprises me. Only because I see my family members on a higher scale than the rest of society

Yup. What he said.

Nothing wrong with that... but I don't think that you would be as emotionally charged to avenge a child if you "Knew" your child had Killed someone else unwarranted in comparison to you "Knowing" or even simply "Believing" your child is innocent and was Killed by someone. You would be hurt by the former but I don't think you would take initiative to attack quite as fast as you would if the latter was the case.

Relevant.

Willem Dafoe smiling as The Green Goblin is an image I will never forget.

Of course I will. *super saiyan!*

I'd prefer to let the justice system decide who goes to prison and who doesn't.

No man should have to bury their child.

That being said, absof*ckinglutely

If there were no extenuating circumstances to the murder, yeah, I'd agenge him or anyone else, but trying to be objective, there are circumstances where the issue is murky. If I was not sure of the killer, if my son started a conflict that escalated, if it was an accident, then I think mercy is needed.

In general though, I'm all for killing first degree murderers who leave little room of doubt about their guilt.

It depends I suppose.
