Justified Murder: The Thread!

[BROKENDOLL]

uh oh, on to politics... peace out.

No shit. Me too! Pete's gonna kill me if I'm not ready to head to San Diego to see Bennassi tonite! Fuck! Once again, I'm guilty of sitting here on this damned message board wasting my breath! God dammit!

I think you're spending too much time worrying about retribution, and not enough thinking about the actual purpose of the legal system: to protect the innocent. Locking someone up forever protects people the same as killing them does, but its actually cheaper and (we believe) more humane.

The justice system is not for institutionalized revenge. That's certainly not what I'm paying for.

Cheaper and humane as opposed to inhumane and taking the potential for someone who's value could have been more had they lived? You might want to study up on your math stinkbutt...or pay closer attention to your tax dollars...

Actually they do house murderers at that particular prison I remember once when I was younger one escaped to go see the free Smashing Pumpkins concert that night.

I wonder if the victim was a Smashing Pumpkins fan too?

[BROKENDOLL]

Okay, I'm starting to feel a slew of idiotic posts building up in me...Try not to kill each other while I'm gone...

I hate to tell you, but our Government doesn't have the capacity you're giving it credit for. Why do you think killers get 25-life, or 15-life? The Government basis that on how the victime were treated.

Yes, the government should probably use the severity of the crime as a guide for sentencing. But, not surprisingly, you missed my point. I wasn't talking about how the government sentences murderers. I was talking about the government having the capacity to be rational, unlike many murderers, and not kill people as retribution. Regardless of your hyperbole, the government is made up of people who are reasonable enough to make intelligent decisions. It shouldn't lower itself to that level of the common murderer when it has the collective capacity to be more informed and use rational judgment.

Which explains how the gal who lived in the backyard for 20+ years must be thinking?

Has the law not been harsh on that particular sex offender (although he was much worse than a simple sex offender)?

[Aurgasm]

is there an abortion thread?

I would say the law was not harsh on him. Why? He was awarded with early release from parole for his outstanding behavior. When did he get this award? While he was holding the new victim hostage and raping her.

Maybe not one devoted to abortion but the issue has been discussed a number of times. The results were what you would expect.

Have people been threatening physical violence? Most of the people I know and talk to sit around talking shit, cussing eachother out and laughing all day long. Maybe you just need emoticons so you don't get your feelings hurt?

Probably not. They'd be horrible communicators if that was the case.

I don't think it's fair to argue with the most sensational exceptions. This particular, and horrible, occurance does not disprove anybody's points about sex offender laws.

Not calling you out, Fax, I just quoted you so people would have a reference point for my comment.

[TommyboyUNM]

C'mon now. I know it's fun and in fashion for people to bad mouth politicians and call them "morons" and "idiots," but these politicians are educated enough to be pretty level-headed and reasonable people. Especially compared to the average murderer.

That is shit. But I agree with Tommy. This is not the norm (which is the only reason it was in the news for so long in the first place).

I think the law is pretty harsh on rapists and kidnappers - maybe they deserve longer punishments, I don't know. But they get their fair share of public humiliation and shame long after they've served their debt.

god i wish there were threats of physical violence. spice things up

[boarderwoozel3]

Where's Randy when you need him?

It was in response to the specific case being discussed. He said "that" sex offender. That's all I was saying.

[Aurgasm]

Where's Randy when you need him?

shooting up and listening to some god awful music...hoping he was here to garner attention from confused onlookers

[boarderwoozel3]

Then Jersey should be quite the crystal slipper.

[psycobetabuckdown]

Where's OP? Pose another murder-related question since the two obviously Mexican hippie chicks are gone and there's no one left to argue with.

[amyzzz]

They probably have all the great powder heroin in Jersey that he can handle.

[Aurgasm]

Then Jersey should be quite the crystal slipper.

hahaha oh man.. lets hope he gets his paws on it amyzzz (por favor, dio)

You might want to study up on your reading comprehension. Just to begin with, I'm not stinkbutt.

[amyzzz]

Hey now. I don't like Randy a whole lot, but I don't want him to OD. Geez.

[BlackSwan]

Forza, your obsession with Randy is creepy.

[Gribbz]

Forza, your obsession with Randy is creepy.

To be fair, Randy does have Forza as his avatar.

[BlackSwan]

hehehe... that was my idea.

[Gribbz]

I didn't know his old avatar was supposed to be amyzzz. I see it now though.

[BlackSwan]

Yeah, so in sum... still creepy.
