They'd have to arrest my family to keep them from killing whoever did it.

Same here- I think between family and friends, it'd be a nation wide manhunt, where the suspect is shown red neck justification.

What in the world could possess a person/persons to do something like this? I'll just NEVER understand what happens in the brains and hearts and conscience of a person who can do these things!

I say just release those guys. Just give me 24 hours notice and a map to where they'll be. I'll arrange an appropriate "welcome" for them.

Hanging's too good for them! how about a good old fashioned stoning. That way they get to suffer, as they deserve too, for what they've done.
