Nothing can grant any human the right to take a life in my opinion. That being said, I shall now also quote Ghandi: ' A man that is not capable of violently protecting his family, does not deserve that family'
If somebody beat my mother with a HAMMER, or anything else for that matter, I seriously doubt that any moral code or law or voices of reason would be able to keep me away from him. I do not like discussions of violence, but in that case, I fear rage will be the only thing consuming my existence.
HARDCORE topic man. Peace be with you.
