...because I truly believe that denying a person their free will is evil.
I understand this view and then I consider, what if the free will of another is to stalk another? What if, in their effort to achieve their goal of "gaining the consent"... (unlimited in their efforts to achieve this goal, including force) of someone who has told them over and over to "go away, leave me alone,"... their effort has risen to the level of threats of violence, even to others like the loved one's of this someone, unless "his will" is achieved?
I give a specific example because this very "thing" happened to my step-daughter and it was her mother (my wife) and myself who were also threatened. We stopped him. He is now in jail. He may be in jail for a long time. We have also prepared in every way you can imagine (legally and protectively) to ensure his free will, which appears an expression of evil, will be met by a counter will, our will not to be a victim of his will.
My point is that in this world where things are not black and white, it doesn't seem helpful to make blanket statements such as "...because I truly believe that denying a person their free will is evil." Isn't it more complicated than that?
