BIG difference between a wanton murderer and righteously justified retaliation IMO.
righteously justified according to who?
Hypothetically, let's say your daughter accused my son of raping her. In my mind, my son allegedly raped your daughter, but in your mind he actually did rape your daughter. So in an effort to enact some righteously justified retaliation, you go and murder my son. Which in turn causes me to carry out, in my mind, righteously justified retaliation by killing you. This is quite the conundrum we've created, amirite?

Common sense?

Problem here is I don't know for sure. I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't kill anyone (and honestly I was talking about someone who murdered/tried to murder my own).
You just compared apples to oranges with that one, bodda

Big difference here is "accused" and "caught in the act" in the case of rape.
If I walk in and my daughter is screaming for help as your son rapes her, then his arse is gone. If she accuses him, then it goes to trial for evidence and a hearing. Nobody is saying kill first ask questions later, only if it is a first hand situation where there is no doubt. If it goes to trial and he is found unanimously guilty by a higher court then yes, I would want the death penalty.
