The political spectrum in the US is shifted hard right. The middle between the two parties is still fairly mid-right so that makes it kind of hard to gauge what Americans are talking about with left, right and center

Hell dimension, nothing matters. Pedophiles are beyond saving, they're never going to be trustworthy in society. These weren't 18 year olds loving 16 year olds, they were 40-odd and 60-odd years and they were going after kids under 14. They were in for life, with possibility of parole.

I agree, the justice system is exceedingly poo poo, but pedos in for life are not people worth trying to save. That does sound cruel, but hell dimension, nothing matters.




On the plus side, I'm not seeing any easily findable variety of "Church of Bigfoot" so I guess I have a project.

Desiring that prison be ever more brutal is really bad if one also thinks the cops and justice system railroad innocent people into prison for inordinate amounts of time.

Also bad if you think that a gladiatorial murder-zone is not what prison should be.

I’ll take a just approach to rehabilitation all day over “hehe, sometimes a bad person gets extra-judicially murdered, yay!”

I believe there are crimes a person can commit that remove them from moral consideration. Raping children, being a billionaire (but I repeat myself :imunfunny:), and corporate crimes against the environment all qualify for that, in my opinion.

It’s not being “sad about pedos” to think law enforcement should not be applauded for abdicating their responsibilities and cheering when prisons are so lawless that murders take place.

The logical conclusion is cheering when vigilante murderers happen to kill the people you dislike while cops look the other way. Historically, that behavior is not a net positive.

First off, what governmental neglect and complicity was there in this? The only way to truly stop something like this in a prison is solitary confinement, which is inhumane. At the end of the day, people with violent pasts will have to be exposed to one another in prison if you want to afford them the opportunity to socialize with people.

Second, what do you propose we do with the serial child molester and the murderer?

Prisons have fairly variable rates pf inmate on inmate murder. Lower murder rates are better!

Striving for minimal or no murder is best. Spending government funds and training time to achieve that is better than loling about prison violence and justifying prison lawlessness by blaming murder victims.

I really, really wanted to post goatse to this.

Not particularly. I suppose it would depend on the severity of the charges, age of the offender, lots of variables that do make it more difficult to dole out punishments reasonably. And I'm stoned so grain of salt.

I realize I shouldn't cheerlead for a racist murderer, but I don't disagree with what he did.

So is the "liberal" category a catch-all for both liberals and leftists? At this point it seems like American liberals are just centrists.

In the US mainstream, yes, more liberal=more left, which makes it very confusing when both the right-wing and leftists shout out "loving liberals" while meaning completely opposite things.

Kill the pedos. Jail everyone defending them (mainly religious organisations).

There is no excuse, if you are a pedophile and you kill yourself you are doing the world a favour, you are irredeemably broken and a net minus to society.

Try looking a rape victim in the face and telling them their abuser was misguided or had a lapse of judgement or control.

Abortion doctors provide a health service to people who need it.

Pedophiles do not provide a service to anyone. I do not see the line of argument/why you are defending the right of a convicted pedophile to continue breathing.

Jail violence/murders are not good but I will not shed a single tear about a pedophile getting their just desserts while in jail on a life sentence.

Despite the concept that such a punishment would be cruel and unusual because it's disproportionate to the crime (basically they didn't kill someone, so the state killing them is excessive), I'm ok with making an exception for a couple of crimes.

who's asked anyone to cry about anything? Murders happening in jail is not a laudable development, regardless of who the ultimate target of the violence was. Beyond that we as a society don't need white power lifers making decisions about who gets to live and who dies in our prisons.

Saying the convicted murderer who's in for life is doing gods work because he committed two more brutal murders for the crime of watching PBS is a categorically loving stupid opinion.

I was molested as a child.

I feel like I should get that out front before I go stunting on motherfuckers. Pedophiles. Plural. hosed my world up before I was able to loving read.

You motherfuckers know that but my own father doesn’t. See, my moms and pops we’re both sailors. They both were sent overseas and I got left with a trusted chiefs family, and the absolute worst poo poo you could ever imagine wouldn’t add up to what went down when I was just a loving barely able to form memories kid. Molestation, beatings, indoctrination, name it. By the time I was 4 I was barely verbal. I was in special ed until 5th grade because they thought I was retarded when in reality I was suffering from horrific trauma.

So let me be clear and on the record: I want this inmates DOC number so I can make sure his commissary account doesn’t go dry in 2020. He did the right thing, and I laud him for it.

A case study in why we need better folks at the helm at most D.O.C’s for sure. There’s some institutional failings out in the open in this instance. You’ll just never see me so eager to lick the rear end of new think to bemoan the death of pedophiles.

We're righter than we were when we were right! The left left is right of right! But compared to when, the 80s? the 50s? the 20s? The 1880s? On what topics--Free markets vs central planning? Communists vs Nationalists? Collectivist or Authoritarian? Ultraloyalists or constitutionals? Trotsky, Tomsky or Comintern? I think people say these things a nearly always without remotely establishing a frame of reference. The center is whatever the speaker thinks is the most ground they'd be willing to give. Or whatever was popular among their friends when they were 20. The statement is made with the authority of historical fact but without specifics that would render the statement assailable.
