68. Wow, quoting Abraham Lincoln to defend barbarism. Way to twist his words to suit your purpose.

That quote is about helping people, it's not about avenging them. How is torturing/blinding someone helping the victim? Putting him in jail and protecting the victim from any future assaults would be helping her, and would be more in keeping with that quote of Lincoln's.

What a sick thread this is.
