I guess my point is that we have a winter’s worth of snowflakes on here that cry foul when anyone dares say a word about a Palestinian (or is it Israeli Jew today?) or a train attacker being/not being of color or a Christian/Muslim, or whatever the outrage of the day might be…
BUT, someone says someone should be fisted and beaten to death in prison and not a second thought! No comments.
It all just seems a little unhinged.
While I realize people have been getting beaten and murdered in prison forever, I am not sure I have seen that process both desired and lauded as a good solution to a crime, no matter how despicable.
And, if that’s where we are as a society, let’s not let the criminals have all the fun! Let’s have public executions, live via PPV for those who can’t attend, or build an arena where they can be ripped to shred by lions or swim with the sharks in chummed waters. You know, something to really get the juices flowing!
Of course, that’s all hyperbolic nonsense, but the blood lust on here is a tad off-putting at times.
I have no problem with the death penalty, but let’s agree on it as a society. In fact, I have said that I’d volunteer for the firing squad in some cases, as I’m a strong proponent for law and order. But the key words there are “law” and “order,” not chaos and personal vengeance.
It is lawful for me to shoot someone in my home if I feel my life is under threat. It is not lawful for me to shiv someone in the showers or use a broom handle to rip up their insides. There is a difference, which I’d hoped was obvious.
My bad.
