speaking of death, i still don't fully get the 'suicide is illegal' thing that some places have.

you can't prosecute the dead, and if you're trying to kill yourself, you most likely don't give a flying gently caress about the law if you fail.

basically in a nutshell: kill yourself

It's more a way of forcing someone who attempted suicide to get help.

They don't prosecute with jail time just court ordered therapy.

Not sure. Depends on the extent of the check. You aren't convicted of a felony. You're just getting court ordered therapy.

All life is precious. So when someone kills a bunchof people, it's important to use it as a teachable moment- turning a person with terrible messed up brains into a different kind of terrible messed up brains.

Where did this come from? The justice system is about punishment, because you can't have laws without consequences. Maybe some of the consequences are too harsh, but it's never in human history truly been about rehabilitation.

I think we shouldn't use the death penalty except in cases where someone killed lots of people and there's no doubt about their guilt or sanity.

So

Like this guy

so if there's doubt about someone's guilt or insanity it's okay to convict and imprison them, just make sure they stay alive

unless you sentence them to life without parole in which case welp

You do realise that they aren't really gonna kill him, right? The next ten years will be spent training him into a living weapon. Then on the day of his execution there will be a big show with all the victims brought in to see him die then the curtain closes and Agent Tsarnaev (Callsign: Pressure-Cooker) will be put on the first flight to Donetsk to show Ivan that taking the Crimea wasn't the best idea.

I understand the death penalty in countries where "life in prison" means no more than 18 years.

I'll put a hundred bucks towards that breivik is released during the next decade, as in before 2029.

A stark, Fincher-esque lock down tracking shot shows Putin milling about his Moscow highrise penthouse. He paces on his cell phone "Da! Da!...Nyet!....Da! hhahhahaha" while stopping momentarily to pick food off the plate on the dining room table. He pauses and looks over- where did that pressure cooker come fro-

it sets a terrible example, allows for innocent people to be put to death, costs more money and doesn't work to curb crime. but the city was traumatized by his actions and this was a knee jerk reaction, hopefully an appeal will save his life. it's incredibly precious, all human lives. i know that deep down he's a sweet boy who made some bad choices i know he regrets.

killing is only acceptable in self-defense so really if we can defend society from someone without killing them we should do that instead. to do otherwise is barbaric and immoral, hth.

I disagree, in principle there are totally people who we are better off without allowing them to draw breath, this guy is almost certainly one such example

the problem though is that we have no method of arbitrating guilt and selecting punishment that is reliable and accurate enough to make such decisions without an unacceptable loss of innocent life, so in practise the death penalty is barbaric and immoral

I think the death penalty is barbaric and nothing but vengeance writ law. This is why I'd prefer life in a cage because if you think about it, it actually makes them suffer more gives them a chance to redeem themselves, somehow...

The problem is that with the death penalty is that someone has to pull the trigger (or syringe). No one should ever have that responsibility.

that is not the problem at all, actually. killing people is not a trauma people are incapable of withstanding and in the right context it's pretty mundane.

the problem is definitely that there is no objective standard for determining guilt or culpability so innocent people will get executed and guilty people will get executed or spared based on completely arbitrary factors.
