This is my problem with the free will discussions here-- they are too cherry-picking.
1) Free will is an illusion, so nobody could have done other than they did.
2) That guy's a child rapist. Cut off his dick, execute him, fucking make him pay.

I've seen the same people make both arguments but in different threads, and to me, this seems like they don't really believe what they've said about free will.
