Griffin, My point is more that I don't find it alright to physcially abuse any living thing, whether they have the ability to fight back or not. I'm certainly not defending this guy beating a helpless puppy; far from it because its totally sick. But somehow I don't feel that beating the crap out of him yourself does anything other than lower you to his level. Perhaps the point is violence is violence and shouldn't be tolerated? And you're right, about the prison rape thing. I suppose it is a bit hyporcitical. I am totally opposed to violence because quite frankly, I don't feel secure enough in my own "rightness" to feel its my place to dispense justice. He who is without sin should caste the first stone right? (not that I go around beating puppies, or people or anything else for that matter, but I'm hardly perfect.) I guess one just hope's there's some sort of cosmic kharmic (sp?) balance sheet out there and he'll get his.

poptart, The difference, since you seem to not understand, is that a puppy cannot fight back and has no idea why it is being attacked, whereas a grown man has reason and free will, so while I am gouging out his eye I can explain my reasoning and he will understand well. Also, you find it strange to promote violence for people who beat up puppies, but then you go on to advocate rape for such an offense? That's a little odd and hypocritical, given that rape is a seriously violent act. Though personally I hope that Randall Madison gets both.

Because clearly violence should be answered with even more violence? Somehow I just find a lot of irony in people who claim to be so againt violence toward animals are so quick to advocate it against people. Don't get me wrong, this guy is a scum bag loser who deserves every thing that he's got coming to him but that doesn't mean I have the desire to break his face. There are more civilized ways to deal with things. Still, it's to bad he didn't get jail time. Then "Bubbah" could have shown him what it really means that "No one feels worse than he does."

If I caught anyone beating any of my animals I would crush their trachea with my boot AFTER I broke every bone that composes their face.

If no one feels worse than he does, then he wouldn't be telling a big fat lie; he would fess up to what he did. Fucking animal abuser loser. He should have done the prison time as well.
