Your tone regarding a woman getting her husband to help turn in a terrorist definitely elicits a fuck her husband's feelings. If even one more person was murdered after the fact, the brother should have been charged as well. Seems like the only person doing the right thing was the wife.

I would rather live in a society with the odd domestic terrorist whacko than one where the government dystopically forces family members to turn one another in or else go to jail too.

I'm not against handling it but I could live with it a lot better if I handled the justice myself and dealt with the consequences of that afterward. I don't think I could ever offer a sibling, or spouse, to the kings men and feel right about it even if the 'ends' turn out right.

I would rather live in a society where a "selfish person" still has an obligation to do the right thing and turns in an insane homicidal maniac rather than one where John Doe decides he has no obligation to save people's lives because Bob the psychopath happens to be his brother.
