When you spend the better part of 24 hours chasing down people who are armed and more than ready to use those arms against anyone, you're goddamn right you deserve a fuckin parade. At the very least.

Living in the affected area, and watching people go in and carry out justice, while one of their own is barely even cold and dead is something to appreciate. I call it appreciation of a job well done in a dangerous environment. Justice, sure, on top of that. Are you just obtuse or a oval office?

Wildlife Analysis posted:While I would like to see him spend a loooong time in prison, I wish it was in a more humane setting. Ultimately, I like what was done with Breivik. He's not mistreated, he's not being tortured, he's just going to be justly and humanely imprisoned for the better part (at least) of his life for the crimes he committed. I don't want people to be killed or tortured even for the worst crimes, since then we can't maintain that we are, as a society, superior to those being punished. We are better than that. We mustn't lower ourselves to the level of unthinking animals who cry for blood and torture. I hope the suspect is treated with human dignity, so he can spend a long time with his own tortured thoughts, thinking of what he did, and realizing that the good people of the world can look at his actions, and punish him as he ought to be, without mistreating or abusing him. I would like him to serve his (severe) sentence, always knowing that he, himself, is the architect of every bad thing that happens to him, without anyone else to blame for inhuman treatment or torture. Sure, it may not satisfy the bloodlust, but I think it's a much healthier thing to aim for as a society.
