Not really. He kills evil people who avoid the law. Those psychos I descibed kill little children for fun. They're Dexter, if he were evil and didn'tcontrol himself. |
Actually his whole character revolves around the fact that he enjoys killing people but hides this enjoyment behind a moral justification. But his character constantly acknowledges that this justification is artificial. That he really does what he does because he likes seeing a person die.
Also you've expressed that any psychological problems these boys had should not be taken into account. Which I find a ludicrous and dangerous position. If we ignore the source of the problem any solution you come up with will be ineffective in the long run. Not to mention that you seem to be proposing revenge and not justice. Justice would be removing a dangerous individual from society so that he does not harm anyone else. Revenge would be to inflict harm on another person for emotional satisfaction. You want vengence so don't mask it as justice.
Killing those two boys because it would ease your ailing conscience won't bring back that 2 year old boy. The simple truth is that Two wrongs don't make a right. It would be murder to kill those boys (now men) and if you had killed them then you would be a child murderer. A man who has decided that another man is unfit to live and has come to this conclusion alone and decided to impose his will upon society.
