>>What kind of question is that?<<
You misinterpreted my comments and my question. I was not taking issue with your statement at all. I was just curious to know what kinds of criminal acts you had in mind where torture would be justified. Your example regarding your child would surely be on my list as well, and I can think of quite a few more examples where torture would be warranted.
Yes I did misinterpret. Because some folks are strictly against torture for any reason and take exception to those who feel it is warranted in some cases, as I do.
I know people have different opinions but I can’t understand some.
For instance, DA Kamala Harris caused an uproar in San Francisco when some illegal latinos murdered a family for no reason, and Harris wouldn’t prosecute for the death penalty, pushing for a light sentence. No one could understand how a prosecutor in the D.A.’s office could go easy on the perps while having no sympathy for the victims (a father and sons were murdered). A lot of people wanted the perps to get the death penalty, and wishing they could be tortured.
Unfortunately, our system of justice does not allow for torture. I think it’s warranted in a vigilante situation where innocents related to the vigilante require vengeance.

The case in SF that DA Kamala Harris screwed up, causing many to hate her guts.
