A free serial child rapist was murdered . The offender served 8 years

Had the child rapist been convicted?

I take it you watch a lot of TV and base your opinion on what you've seen as compares to what I said? No matter how we look at it, your statement is either ironic or uninformed.

Prove me wrong , dont assume

No. He was free and unknown to police. His victims went into double figures

So your friend was "judge & jury" as well as executioner?

To use the legal vernacular , yes

When is it okay to break this commandment?

Abortion?
War?
Self defense?

Does our society rationalize killing to make it okay, despite what the Bible says?

Anyone who thinks “thou shalt not kill” means never, ever, under any circumstances, should read Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” and then come back and discuss it.

I will look into it, but the OP pertains to what the Bible says is wrong, not what man says is right.

I'll repeat this for you moonbus: Don't do anything I wouldn't unless you can do it really well. A judge never loses sight of the Law, a good jury appoints the correct verdict after the facts are beyond doubt and the executioner has to live with his conciences as do the other 2. Only someone with great knowledge could do all these things and still be right with the universe
Edit: also for wolfgang
