    Really wish the guy had at least shot the murderer in his hands, so he not only has to live his life out in prison, but can’t jerk off comfortably.

      He was able to do what he could do. Believe me when I say that there’s absolutely a wall that most people never hit when it comes to shooting a living being, human or not. Most people never hit that wall, because they never seek out the activities that would cause you to hit that wall. I couldn’t shoot my first deer. Shooting my first human was a bit easier, as I actually shot them, but still caused hesitation. I don’t know about the second human or second animal, and I hope I never find out. Unfortunately, with the way things are going, I suspect I will have to shoot more people to survive.

      Nah, I’m a stern believer of forced castration for people like this. Shoot his junk off.

        That’s a regressive way of thinking. Revenge doesn’t actually feel good once you are done, it feels wrong. Put them in a rehabilitative program so that they will learn why what they did was wrong, and how much harm they did to themselves and others.
