Didn't any boy cry? This girl certainly did...

So...if these men were caught and and tried, and convicted, and were sentanced to die..that's different than my doing it myself? I'm not sure I agree.

And PLEASE could anyone give me the reference of the song in that film that says "the bluest eyes in Texas"? I love it...
--- End quote ---
It's called The Bluest Eyes in Texas, and it was performed by Nina Persson and Nathan Larson. The movie does have a soundtrack.
Here are the lyrics:
The lonesome Texas sun was setting slow
In the rear view mirror I watch it glow
I can still see the wind and her golden hair
I closed my eyes for a moment I'm still there
Chorus:
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong,
Did I wait too long or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me to night
Another town another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely Waiting for the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on
Chorus
For every heart you break you pay the price
I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes
Chorus

Yeah, I couldn't ask that much, I think from your stand point it would be justice served, as rightly so. What bothers me about Capitol Punishment is the finality of it, how it is abused both past and present. Once an innocent person is put to death, you can't bring them back.

How horrible for you, Scott! This makes me want to learn whatever ancient martial art my avatar is practicing over there on on the left. Then, I could leap down and...I wouldn't kill those men...but I would make sure they would never have children and procreate ever again!!

Back in my early twenties, after my first real long term relationship had ended, I had a tough time getting back into the whole social scene, but eventually I did. One night, after having a relatively enjoybale night with friends a bar in Boston (I live about 30 minutes north, so I drove into town), I left at closing time...yes alone...get your minds outta the gutter, and started to cross the public gardens, because my car was parked on the other side. Half way across, a group of drunk men (I won't say straight because I don't to insult straight people by calling them that), started to follow me.
Eventually they cornered me in a dark part of the park. I was beaten and raped and left there. Here's my question. If I had the ability, after they had finished with me, to get up and kill each one...would that not be capitol punishment? I am no longer defending myself, I am exacting revenge, but...am I entitled?

I read about this in your fanfic. Never in my life I imagined this actually happened to you. I'm against capital punishment but then again I don't know how I'd feel if something like this would happen to me or anyone I love.
