RE: QUESTION For Everyone About "KILLING A COP"
No, I don’t know it - I never saw The Purge. I told you Class of 1999 was bugging me; I don’t know if I could handle such blatant, heavy-handed anti-freedom propaganda.
Spoilers..... Well, the whole movie is about the main character going to exact revenge on a guy responsible for the death of his son. Long story short, in the end, the protagonist gets a chance to kill the guy but doesn't and lets him go. The protagonist leaves then gets shot by a government agent but doesn't die. Government agent is about to finish him off but gets shot in the head from the guy he let live saving the protagonist.
Ah, I see. Second-chancers can be some of the most powerful forces for good. Their experience yields deep understanding, and their quest for redemption motivates strongly.
Rehabilitation is always preferable, but there’s no guarantee it will stick. So are just supposed to let people harm others until we can actually catch them in the act and shoot them through that small window of opportunity? It seems an odd plan. But forgiveness is Godly.
This is just slightly outside my moral understanding, but my intuition says revenge is not optimal. However, once it already happened, I don’t believe the person should be punished or even made to undergo rehabilitation themselves. I reserve the right to alter this opinion in the future because it’s not rooted in firm knowledge and I’m just getting the feeling it may be necessary Hahahah
Very good perspective. I agree.
