Things that make you go hmmm

A troubling dichotomy from the AP, "Man turns himself in for killing sex offenders".

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) - A man turned himself in to authorities in the killing of two convicted child rapists, saying he picked the victims from a sheriff's Web site, police said.
Rambix does not condone vigilante action in most cases. This story can make one scratch one's head, however.

Hank Eisses, 49, and Victor Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level III sex offenders, considered the type most likely to reoffend. Sex offenders in Washington are required to register with local authorities, and the information is provided on the Web.
Alright, alright. Even though some liberal judge would probably let these dirtbags run free, Rambix does NOT condone or even suggest such action. That would be immoral (Do you know that murder is the only unforgivable sin, since the person who is dead cannot forgive?). Child rapists, though? That really gives one pause.

We have to let the courts do their thing, which, in many cases, is sadly not enough.
