[QUOTE=AustinM;42450166]Of course he's black[/QUOTE] and the thread was so close to ending the page on a good note
he raped 4 minors, he wont last long in prison

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42450116]justice is giving a perpetrator a proportionate punishment to the crimes he committed whilst giving said perpetrator the ability to better themselves, make amends for their actions, and after serving their sentence, reentering society as a healthy and productive individual while this may not happen due to the poor US penal system, the purpose of justice is not to make the victims feel better about the incident; the man committed heinous crimes, and is serving his (relatively fair) sentence, and that is as close to justice as the US judicial system can get in its current state while i sympathize with the victims, and have clearly shown in previous posts my attitude towards the criminal, justice is in no way based around revenge or appeasing the emotional demands of the victims[/QUOTE] but if we only mend 1 side of the conflict, the other has the possibility to break and cause further damage. justice shouldn't leave any side mentally unstable.
[QUOTE=lxmach1;42450227]but if we only mend 1 side of the conflict, the other has the possibility to break and cause further damage. justice shouldn't leave any side mentally unstable.[/QUOTE] Instead what, it should leave one side murdered by the state and the other with a half-assed sense of closure?

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42449077]for four counts of rape (of minors) and one of homicide, not to mention the burglary and hostage-taking, it is a pretty short time considering how often large sentences are given out for less heinous instances [editline]7th October 2013[/editline] in actuality it is a long time, but in practice, (as compared to previous sentences around the nation) it is very minimal[/QUOTE] what the fuck is less heinous than rape and murder

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42450272]killing the perpetrator is not going to suddenly fix the emotional problems of the victim, and even if the death did alleviate some fear or satisfy a bloodlust, it would not be, in any situation, a healthy way to cope with the victim's emotional problems, and would only further the mental health damage sustained by the victim[/QUOTE] Not every person can be reformed, come on this is entry level psychology. If it isn't life in prison then he risks doing the same again because he is simply hard wired that way due to his environment, history and upbringing. Justice doesn't have to be pretty, don't confuse vengeance with justice. You ask any seasoned psychologist and I'll bet my left testicle they will tell you the exact same thing word for word. As far as consoling the victims that is an entirely different beast altogether, it goes WITHOUT SAYING they should be supported until they've returned to at the very least a semi normal state of life, but the conflict in this thread is what to do with the criminal.

and your tax dollars are going to make him eat a meal every day, talk and socialize with friends inside jail, and possibly get involved in a gang. Who knows, he might be gutted by next year or further. Hopefully he does. gotta love not having a death penalty for special cases like this!

He's not dead? Well, awesome. He actually gets to suffer being removed from society and having his life post-prison totally demolished by his sentence. Assuming the other inmates don't fuck him up for raping minors.

What kind of society do you think he lived in, before he did this? Something that was different? Freedom? He probably has been convicted before, lived in a rotten area, and just wanted to do some fucked up thing like this. Of course, I know that raping minors is going to give him a really, REALLY harsh time in prison, and he'll be lucky if he doesn't end up with a shank in his stomach, but quite honestly, rehabilitation or whatever you want to call it for this type of person? It's unneeded.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;42449778] this is why we need to keep the death penalty. [/QUOTE] "We need to kill because violence is detrimental to society". How do you not notice the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance required to hold a pro-death penalty view
Holy SHIT. Maybe the rest of the world is confused for as to why this is news, but that sentence for that crime is [I]incredibly[/I] low. People get life sentences for any single one of the things he has done. I don't understand, and I don't think I like it (essentially "An eye for an eye"), but that tends to be how it seems things work here.

You're really trying to defend a pitiful mutt, like this? That should be frowned upon from the rest of society, and should be put into a 6 foot grave? That is truly the deplorable thing. I assumed, because it's true. I've no evidence, but I can guarantee you he has a past. Not many individuals who do this, not have a past. It's pretty obvious. I assume he lived in a rotten area, and that he wanted to do fucked up things because it's not exactly obvious that you seem some high waged kid, white or black, going around killing and raping minors. Just a few weeks ago there were random killings in Toronto, why? Because they felt like it. They all had pasts with the law, and now they're just going to sit in jail. Why waste the tax payers money, when someone who does that, is just going to grow worse in jail? Psychiatric care wouldn't do anything. If they wanted it, they could have gotten it before they did this sort of thing. Someone who has these thoughts are not there in mentally, and shouldn't be allowed to breed, or be cared for, in any way, either than immediate family, and even they should be punished for not treating their offspring or family with discipline. Also, everyone's a little racist. If they don't admit it, they're lying to themselves. [sp]also it's 12AM so sorry if I don't respond to your response, I'm probably sleeping[/sp]
