For me I think it would. I don't feel that vengeance is a bad thing though in general.

In general, I don't either -- but the government sets an awfully strange precedent by catering to the vengeance of certain parties.

what happens when someone rapes your daughter, he gets out of prison in 15 years, and you kill him? Someone messed with Bob, and he got to watch the perp die on national TV. Someone messed with you, and you had to take matters into your own hands?

see what I mean?

I'm not saying it's good for society in general, but I'd have no moral qualms about killing someone that raped my daughter.
