Humanities Matthew Haupert September 28, 2018 The Right Cause Imagine yourself as a parent. Having that privilege of being with your children, loving them and being loved. Your life is perfect with your family, but all that bliss is shattered. Your daughter, kidnapped and raped, going through an experience a no child should ever have. All you're left with is all this outrage within you, knowing that bastard that hurt and ruined your daughter walked out of court a free man. In the book The Fifth Angel by Tim Green, all of these events happened to a man named Jack. His life was ruined in an instant, and the authorities would do nothing about it. Left with grief and anger, he decides to take matters into his own two hands. Ending the lives of sexual offenders all over the country is the best thing he could have done. As it’s justified when he has seeked revenge for all of those children who were victims to those in despicable creatures, he’s saved kids from ever falling into the hands of those men again giving parents a sense of security, as well as giving those people a punishment long deserved. What Jack had done, maybe in the eyes of the law he did a crime that is unforgivable, the act of . . . murder. But he didn't do it just for the sake of murdering some random person, he did it as warning. A warning to all of those child molesters. That even though the law may have given them a light sentence or even turned a blind eye, he will be the Guardian Angel waiting in the darkness to take judgment for all the sins they have committed. In the book an old man stated “If I’d been one of my daughters or one of my grand kids he did that to, I’d a taken my deer rifle out and killed him myself . . . I mean it son ”(pg 170). This quote shows that not only the parents of the children, but alo neighbors were on edge. Because of these people, and would do the same thing if they had enough courage to carry out. He was doing justice to children themselves, knowing that, even though the nightmares still come and when they wake up in sweat, they know that the danger is gone. . . completely gone. He has done justice for all of those terrified children. What those sexual offenders have done to these children is something that will never, ever be forgotten by them. They will always remember the feeling of oppression, the fright, and the hurt. They will forever have those cruel insightful images carved into their memory, haunting them for the rest of their lives. What Jack has done is something really big. The sense of cowardice is slowly disappearing from the tormented people. He has put an end to the worrying and the suffering, replacing it all with a sense of security. In the text somebody stated “............” This quote shows a certain sense of freedom now that these people have been “stopped”. Little children could be playing outside now with their parent not having to worry anymore, knowing that their children will be safe in the future from ever being harmed by the hands of those people. Children will now be able to live their carefree and cheerful life, as people say ¨ignorance is bliss¨. In the eyes of the government, child molesting is not a serious enough crime to be punishable for death sentence, or even life sentence. The government believe that there is always going to be a crime that is more grave and the punishment will be more severe, only giving child molesters 2-5 years in prison. The ACLU states that ¨More than 3,200 serving life without parole without non violent offences¨ 79 percent were of those people were convicted of nonviolent, drug-related crimes such as possession or distribution. As for the other 20 percent they were convicted of nonviolent property crimes like theft. These people were doing crimes, but they were not interfering with the lives of little children, what they were doing is a whole different story. The people that I’m talking about, abducted and raped little children as well as young adults and just left them there so that they would rot away. They have taken something that will never be able to return. After awhile they might act normal like if nothing ever happened, but deep inside they are still memories that aren't pleasant to remember. So as to what Jack has done its a punishment long deserved. Overall what Jack has done is justice not only for his daughter, but for other people as well. He is also giving child molesters a warning too, by killing people like them they will start to cower and hope that they aren't the next person to encounter Jack because if they are lucky enough to, they will not live to see the light of the next day. He is telling them to remember that Simikiel (angel of vengeance) is out there and waiting for the next “unfortunate” person to come across him.
