That’s not “the only issue,” you fucking ghoul. It’s a barbaric practice and has no place in a civilized society.
I don’t think it’s barbaric at all. Hell, if anything, making people care for this asshole for 50+ years is barbaric. There is no rehabilitation for this guy. There is no way he becomes a productive member of society.
If even long-term KKK members can be rehabilitated then so can this kid whose brain hasn't even fully developed.
So what, you think you can just let a mass murderer walk the streets again because he convinced someone he’s rehabilitated?
Even those long term KKK members didn’t kill people.
What about the families of these 10 victims? They deserve justice more than this kid deserves freedom. I'm not saying he can't be rehabilitated. I am saying that it is very injust to let this kid to ever have a free life after he ended the lives of 10 people.
What makes you think the families will all agree with you that this is what the killer deserves?
I mean I'm not 100 percent that all of them would want it, but it's what the families want in the majority of these cases. Anytime you see a murderer come up for appeal you usually see family or friends of the victim in interviews saying how they don't want that to happen.
How often do you actually see what victims' families say when murderers are put on parole? For me it's occasionally when the news reports on it. I don't think we can say what the majority want.
I want to believe that, the goal should be rehabilitation somehow. That said, at this moment in time when we don’t have good rehabilitation implementations, I find this turn of events acceptable based on the crime committed.
True, in most countries the prison system is crap. I just don't like when people paint other people as monsters, no matter what they've done. Rehabilitation to me doesn't necessarily equal them being free ever again. Just means that they've changed as a person and truly regret their actions.
The only civilised country that still allows it is America. Take from that what you want...
What's your definition of civilized?
Majority white, probably.
Or, you know, Europe?
Geez, even Reddit wasn't this stupid. Perhaps spez did the site a favour by draining the pond...
Is Japan uncivilized?
If they kill people in the name of the law, yes.
