Do i understand why this women took revenge in this way? I somewhat do, even if i can not begin to imagine how horrible it must be a victim of abuse. Will she have the support of the people that supported her before going to prison? I would hope so. However i find it always a little baffling how people on the internet pretend to not understand that the laws apply also to those that take "justice" (lets be honest, real justice can not be restored) into their own hands.
If you feel hate and rage, that is understandable. Feeding into those emotions however will not lead to anything good. If you feel that people that took revenge need support, than i would recommend looking into how to help ex prisoners get back onto their feet.
The law failed to protect her and other children. She took matters into her own hands. She made sure he wouldn't be able to harm anyone again. Prison is fair, but 11 years seems too much for a case like this.
I’d like her to be punished exactly as strictly as Brock turner. She’s got potential, and twenty minutes of fun shouldn’t ruin her life.
I'm sorry, driving to his house, shooting him in the head, and setting his house on fire is "twenty minutes of fun"?
More so than what Brock Turner did, though I did get the wording wrong. It was 20 minutes of action
