Using the Holy Scripture as a point of reference the author gives comment on the character of this action, asking piercing questions as to why other American citizens have not been protected against aggressors that have taken their lives, and why America does not follow God's commandment and execute the death penalty upon those who by definition of the Scripture are worthy of death. written by Darren Kavinoky The felony crime of kidnapping is generally defined as the taking of a person against their will, or from the control of a parent or guardian through violence, force, threat, or intimidation. The act of kidnapping often involves other criminal offenses, such a ransom, carjacking, or robbery. It may also include a parent taking and hiding a child in violation of a court order. If the victim is injured, the punishment for the kidnapping increases. written by Stacy Shattuck
