tell me what is wrong about that then.
so you were serious?
ok.
you asked for it...
Typical lefty rubbish: they care more about the criminal than they do about the victims. What about that 6 year old's right to life, right to a chance at a future? How where her rights protected?
I fail to see how wishing that the perpetrator suffers is caring more about him than the victims.
this doesn't make sense.
and the 6 year old's right to life? her chance at a future?
what kind of stupid rhetorical questions are these?
how is this related to wishing punishment upon the perpetrator??
I wish the perp would suffer. yes.
but that doesn't mean I don't care about the little girl. it just means that we can't do anything about the little girl now. she's fuckin' dead. shit happens. can't go back in time, can we?
my wishing suffering upon the perp has nothing to do with victims.
or their "rights." I have no idea how you connected these things together.
of course I wish the little girl (and the other 11 people) were still alive.
of course I wish they had a chance at a future.
but what the hell does that have to do with wishing punishment upon the suspect?
nothing. assuming you were serious, your reply makes little sense, if any.
as long as the poor little defenceless psychopath's rights aren't affected then all the lefties can sleep at night.
ok I literally have no idea what point you are trying to make here.
are you 100% sure that you're not trolling?
you're gonna' have to reword this and try to explain more clearly what point - if any - you're trying to get at.
the judiciary system can make mistakes. An innocent person can be freed from jail but not a coffin.
well I agree of course.
this is just another factor in why I dislike capital punishment.
Letting him rot in jail and at the mercy of the prison population is fitting punishment. The families of the victims (who are victims themselves) have been handed a life sentence.
so we agree
"useless punishment" puzzles me, because the phrase is redundant. There has never been anything more useless than punishment for it's own sake
I don't understand how punishment for the sake of punishment is puzzling you.
I'm not advocating that we pick every 3rd person in a line of criminals and shoot them in the back of the head. I'm advocating individual suffering for a criminal who truly deserves it.
life in prison is a cowardly sentence. It's repulsively vindictive while neatly skirting the perceived responsibility of taking direct action.
I also don't understand your reliance on the notion of cowardice.
how is using the prison system cowardly?
how is executing someone less cowardly?
it's just some guy standing at a switch and waiting to turn the knobs.
in Colorado the death penalty is lethal injection.
that's about as cowardly as anything I can imagine.
they even swab the guys with arm with alcohol so that his dead-ass corpse won't contract an infection. it's fucking absurd. and they don't even let him experience death while conscious. the first round of drugs put him to sleep. and he's going to get a last meal of whatever he wants, as much as he wants.
fuck him. fuck that bullshit.
did he let his victims have a last meal of anything their heart desires before pumping them full of lead? did he let his victims die peacefully in their sleep? no he pumped them full of hot lead while they were wide awake.
but you'd rather him lie comfortably on a table and gently drift off.
and I'm the coward
