By being raped and killed they would be morally superior to those who harm the misunderstood criminals!

Does anybody remember the case in Tennessee? The four thugs (including one female) carjacked a young couple. They raped the male victim (presumably made the female victim watch) and them raped/tortured the female victim over the span of several days.
This could have been the results for the people in this story had they not fought back!
Don’t forget they cut his populator off and also her breasts.
