I’m talking about immediate action after a horrible assault and nothing more. Not the end of the first trimester nor the middle. But the NEXT DAY.
No, he wasn't a rapist. He was some other type of bad thing that makes me want to kill his offspring.
What age is the dividing line between too late to kill and early enough to kill?
