syscall girl posted:I think I have a better argument. nah I get this and I'm against it normally like I said but I do think there's a very small segment of cases where the perpetrator doesn't deserve the resources and I do think that even in those cases they deserve their rights like the appeals process etc etc

Probably just a Cold War kids thing. I was born right when Reagan took office and was getting ready for high school when Clinton was coming in, so the failed Russian coup was one of the first things, along with Desert Storm, that I saw happen live and basically understood. 89-92 or so was pretty terrifying because the Warsaw Pact collapsed, China almost (well not really) imploded and then the news was talking about how we were gonna fight the 4th largest army and they had chemical weapons and all that. It's probably about the time I got interested in military history but at least we had a sense of humor then

I mean that was my point, though, Roof is a monster and admits it, he's 100% legally sane and the government doesn't have the wrong guy in his case, I'm in favor of it

Main Paineframe posted:this line of thinking is exactly why the death penalty is bad. "I oppose X, except in particular cases that trigger an emotional reaction in me" is basically exactly how bad justice happens it's not an emotional thing for me though, I think prison would be better suited for rehabilitation rather than punishment but some people are beyond rehabilitation that being said, I totally understand why people are against it

chitoryu12 posted:But exactly what benefit do we get out of killing them? If rehabilitation is useless, why do we have to shift immediately to death? Why is the option to simply leave them in prison until they die not an option on the table? because it costs money and feeds the privatized prison system

I mean my position is actually that we should decrease the number of people we execute down to the narrowest of crimes but ok if that's what you want to take from what I said

hobbesmaster posted:In the US we'd call this a life sentence, hence the confusion. to be fair in the US we also have life without parole so that's a bit more extreme but yeah, a lot of life sentences are actually "x number of years with review for early release" which is more or less the same thing

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Just to provide context, that is a very common stunt the rodeo clowns do at ALL rodeo's. Now you can argue that the convicts are coerced into participating, but as far as the actual rodeo events go, that isn't outrageous. from what was said in the segment on it on Lockup, the convicts actually look forward to it because it lets them get out and have a semblance of normality for the day
