If someone kills your loved one on purpose for no good reason. What do you want to happen to that person?
Right or wrong shouldn't change even if I'm really angry. That's fucking illogical.
Not for them to be killed. I'm not a psycho.
capture, retention, rehabilitation if possible. get over your revenge fantasy.
You've obviously never met an evil person before. Because they exist, and they want nothing but harm done. And I want nothing but death for them.
keep on with that whole "evil" thing, I'm sure you're onto something.
Dude it's been 4 days
I don't check my notifications often
For them to live a long and uncomfortable life faced every day with the consequences of their actions, and removal of their freedom for their act of destroying the freedom of another
Killing them I don't think will help. I wouldn't forgive them. But I hope society is able to rehabilitate that person, because killing others isn't something I believe is an accepted normal thing to do, and that person has problems that need resolving.
Hi kiddo.
My dad came from Belfast. During the troubles one of my cousins was murdered by a protestant foot soldier. He went to jail.
Killing him wouldn't bring my cousin back.
One of mine was murdered. I'm still anti death penalty.
Is the purpose of punishing criminals preventing people from doing crimes or to satisfy someone's revenge fantasies? A state that has the right to kill its own citizens is a state with way too much power.
I'll be that one guy and back you up on this one. Mind you it would probably have to be a "have nothing else left" state, but you bet your damned ass I would find a way to exact revenge.
People in my region voted away the mental health and rehab centers so instead we have very limited rehab options and multiple stabbings from repeat offenders who just get let out again because it doesn't work and we have no resources in containment either. I guess there is more forgiveness in others than I possess seeing as after 10+ assaults and damaging multiple small businesses (no shareholders no crime? /s) this guy is still out and about. Eventually he will kill someone and maybe the family of the victim will shower him with kindness and warmth too.
Why don't you kill him yourself? You seem to think you'll be praised a hero. Why make someone else do your dirty work? Could it be because like the rest of us you don't have the stomach for murder?
