And what would killing that piece of human trash accomplish?
Now no offense to you, sbane.....it's a natural human feeling, but I must admit I don't even like talking about criminals as "human trash" or "monsters" or whatever else.
As soon as we stop considering the person in question to be a human being just like the rest of us....I think that's when the problems of our justice system start.
Of course the person committed a terrible crime, and he should be punished very severely.....never being released from prison would be my wish. But he's still a human being, despite everything.
Pretty much. I mean I have other reasons (brutality, uneven application, poor evidence standards, etc.) for not supporting it anymore but really that's what it boils down to for me. Plus I wouldn't trust any government or jury to decide who was worthy of life or not even assuming it was morally permissible to execute.
