It is difficult isnt it? When you are of the ilk in not wishing death to others for their crimes, but may require vengeance if it was a loved one who died at the hands of others?
Remember Lesley Ann Downey, the little girl who was raped and tortured by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley? - the harrowing tape of her pleas to Hindley to help her? Lesley's mother wished both Brady and Hindley dead and swore that if that Hindley was ever released, she would rip her limb from limb. All she could hope for was that both Brady and Hindley were never released and vowed to outlive them both. That lady never got her revenge and sadly died (3years before Hindley), riddled with cancer. There was never closure for her.
For some, at least, it appears that death for a crime is a way of being able to let go.
But does vengeance release us? I dont know and hope to the gods, I never know.
