Resolved:Mortal wounding/killing is an ok response to repeated domestic violence (IE wifebeater)?

Question

all right. heres how my unorthodox questions work. they do not give my stance or anything, however, i'm gonig to provide 3 valid points for each side (con. and liberal) and whichever side you choose to side with refute the opposite points. I. E. if i said 1. i like watermelon because... then you would say no, you do not like watermelon because...
PLEASE do not say "i agree with these points!" unless you are also refuting the opposite side's points. thank you!
Pro:
1. In the case of getting no outside help, what are they going to do?
2. What's wrong with vengeance? isn't an eye for an eye correct?
3. Jail = parole / bail / plea bargains, unless it's a life sentence.
Con:
1. That sort of violence is never justified
2. encourages murderers to get away with what they're doing
3. are we truly civilized, to justify the killing of people?

To clarify something on the pro side: Number 1: You MUST assume that there is no chance of outside help. i know, i know, seems unfair, but life's unfair. ;)

omg lori! i'm so sorry! i feel so bad for you :( i hate people who would do something like that...while nursing an infant son... i hope he got life in jail at the LEAST! but, as a wise man once said, if there was no injustice in the world, there would be no need for the law. And thank you for sticking to the format. you gave a very good answer. :)

Answer 1

Ok. After being abused for 14 years, hears my response in the format you wanted.
Con:
1. That sort of violence is never justified.
Response: As self defense it most certainly is. But only in self defense, not 2 or 3 days down the road while he's walking through a parking lot....etc..... There are times when I thought the violence was over, times I held my bleeding head while he layed there, only for him to jump up AGAIN and continue his attack. Did I have the right to kill him in between? In retrospect yes. But I didn't. I divorced him years later.
2. encourages murderers to get away with what they're doing
Response: A reasonable fair jury would be the one to decide if it was murder or self defense. This point is too vague to justify any other answer.
3. are we truly civilized, to justify the killing of people?
Response: Civilizations have been killing each other since the dawn of man. (See Genesis....i.e. Cain and Abel) In my opinion some people get what they deserve.
As my attorney said to my Ex "didn't you see this as a time bomb just waiting to explode?"

You would have to live with abuse to totally understand the psychological, emotional, and physical damage it does. I lost my self respect, self esteem, pride, confidence, and then he started the violence. You see, the predator wears down the prey first, then attacks when he thinks your weak.
He struck me for the first time while I was nursing our infant son! Vulnerable? Ya think?

Answer 2

In response to your "Pro"
1. There is plenty of outside help, enable yourself and get some from a friend, a minister, a crisis center, the police ~ anyone.
2. Vengeance is for God to administer, not you. Be patient it will come.
3. Jail = Jail and it'll ruin your life one way or another whether you get out or if it's a life sentence, your life will NEVER be the same.

Answer 3

We are (or claim to be) a society of laws. The answer lies in reporting it to the police and moving out, not killing
