I just feel that if a life must be sacrificed in order to bring evil men to justice, so be it. Again, my parents disagreed, and told me I was being cold and dark, which I thought was uncalled for.
Thoughts? Whether it is on the situation itself, or the debate of results versus methods, I'm interested in hearing others' opinions.
