Never heard of the football team rapists? Not to be cliche but....... |
Let's see, someone gang rapes a woman and forces her into incest with her son, who they blinded and beat, and I dish out the punishment they deserve, and I'm the sick one?

I think people are confused between Justified Anger on the behalf of a fellow human being and sickness. Which is a completely different subject............but at this point, something to point out to all those in the "just as sick as they are" camp. I am done monopolizing this thread though....I can be such a harpy........... |

Don't we have a law like "No cruel or unnecessary punishment"? Torturing the victims isn't going to fix anything, it is just going to show who has the bigger cock. These kids should be punished greatly but to torture them to make yourself feel better is still extremely sick disturbing and pointless. |
That's why all the serial killers and mass murderers come from impoverished areas, right Peirce?

Exactly, justice is never vengeance and vengeance is never justice.

Rage can also be justified. If I think of this happening to someone close to me, i'm sure i'd still want vengeance. What about you? What if it were you and your son? (if you have one, whatever) If it were me I'd take vengeance over a false sense of justice any day. Those kids will be sitting in the can for 10 years and getting out on good behavior. No matter what verbiage we use and how "confused" we are. This happens over and over like I said earlier, and very often in Florida. When something like this happens to you- let me know, and come back to me and define "justice" again. :) |

Either the judicial system is there to ensure justice, or it's there to provide vengeance. Individual victims may seek vengeance, but society, I believe, should provide justice. |
The victim and justice system don't don't have to disagree, however.

Mass murders are something completely different. Those guys are most likely insane or very messed up while those kids probably knew exactly what they were doing. Quote:

Actually the term is "Cruel AND unusual punishment". If we gave all murderers the death penalty via hand grenade thrown in their cell and all rapists the punishment of having their junk cut chewed off by rabid wolverines, some could call it cruel but it would not be cruel and unusual and would therefore not violate the 8th amendment.

Thankfully it is the court's interpretation and not yours that counts.
