Reply to comment by deftoner42 in Genevieve Lhermitte: Belgian mother who killed her five children euthanised by Quirkie

And what would punishment accomplish exactly? Do you expect someone this far gone to "learn their lesson" and atone in some way inside an expensive tax-funded prison cell? Or is this just a way for you to satisfy your craving for further human suffering, or is it just a justice boner?

Either way, comments like this serve no purpose. Let the bitch die and move on.

No such thing as too far gone. Bible tells you god is patient and does not wish anyone to perish. Buddhism tell you the only thing you have to do is to put down the butcher knife.

Even the vilest of murderers can find redemption if they're willing to change. No one is beyond saving.

I would love to believe this too. And that we're all born equal and have good inside of us. But no, some humans are broken beyond repair. Just not meant for this world.

I expect punishment for murderers.

And this solves what exactly?

Remove the problem, save tax dollars, move on with life. If you want some sadistic revenge fulfilment do it on your own time.

Life in prison is the punishment. Not cruel not unusual. You give sympathy to the murderer but not the victims. That is sick and perverted

Hey dude, by definition murder victims can't suffer or take some kind of perverse glee in watching their killers suffer. The only people who benefit from watching killers suffer are people like you who like to watch people suffer as long as you think they deserve it.

I don’t want to pay for a punishment system I want to pay for a reform system. Otherwise what’s the point. A system based on revenge would be so problematic.

That’s not supposed to be the point of the justice system. Also. Just because you want something, that doesn’t mean you get it.

It is part of it. That's how victims and society heal

No seriously it really isn’t a part of the justice system and it doesn’t help victims heal. Sometimes the perpetrator isn’t alive after the event and yet the victim heals anyway.

People in Hell want ice water. Doesn’t mean they get it.

Despite belief, languishing in a jail cell does not bring a single person back. If they’re sick and want out, let them the fuck out.

It’s no skin off your teeth.
