If this guy gets off with an insanity plea that's when you know the justice system 1.works okay. I don't care if you were insane or not in your right mind, you fucking kill someone, you deserve to 2.either be sent to jail for life or put in a mental hospital. And no matter who you are, 3.NOBODY has the right to choose whether or not someone lives or dies, you kill more then one person, you deserve worse. 4.People were fucked up in ancient times, 5.people were still fucked up in medieval times, 6.People were getting better but still bad in the colonial and victorian age. That's 7.Definaetly not how they should do it now.
fixed. I can't believe some people still believe in the death penalty.
1. No. If I kill your entire family, all your friends, or any other people you care for in anyway. How would you feel if I just got to sit in a cell that YOUR paying for, eating food that YOUR giving me are you going to tell me that on no level you would want me to suffer in some way?
Wanting him to suffer is revenge not justice, and is a childish way of thought. Also you do know that putting prisoners on death row costs significantly more money than just giving them life in prison with no possibility of parole, don't you? And personally I would rather have my tax money go toward him rotting in prison for the rest of his life than murdering him.
2. No. thats like ignoring a problem instead of fixing it. What if we just took all the worlds problems the put them in a nice little box instead of fixing them?
Prison = being removed from society. Death Penalty = being removed from society. If prison is not fixing the problem than neither is the death penalty, except the death penalty costs taxpayer even more money. Also providing mental health services to those who need it IS trying to fix the problem, not just sticking the problem in a body bag.
3. Like the man who shot a baby point blank? Who did the baby ever hurt or kill, I bet the kid couldnt even TALK yet. But no, he choose who lives and dies, and whats his punishment for playing god? Food and shelter, not having to work to eat, even having the chance to get things such as education and therapy that a child who could actually grow up and DO something with it is deprived of. Oh, but at least we can hope he leaves and
DOESNT SHOOT ANOTHER BABY IN THE FACE.
First of all, I keep hearing he shot a baby point blank but I haven't seen a source on this, mind providing one? But for argument's sake let's assume it's true. Yes it was a terrible and horrible thing, but doing more terrible things as retribution is not justice, and in my opinion just thinking about doing horrible things to someone else makes you no better than them.
4-6. >Implying were still not fucked up, whats changed since then? We know a little more, does that mean the basis of society suddenly is outdated and uneeded? Is an eye for an eye suddenly too brutal? How dare we want the eye of the man who took our own, who dare we want fairness.
Firstly, If you honestly think society as a whole is as fucked up as it used to be then you need to do a bit of research. Secondly, an eye for an eye is ridiculous and is just you thinking like the criminal did. Lastly, the world is not fair, demanding fairness gets you nothing in life, and is also a childish way of thought.
7. Im not saying we should cut off the hands of thieves or put prositutes or adulters in chasity or kill bastard children. But its not that hard to say if a man kills someone the LEAST of his punishment should be a painless death.
Seriously dude, stop thinking terrible things should happen to him. It's a fucked up way to think and borderline sociopathic behavior.
