Too real, I see this all the time. Joking about how certain people in prison should be taken care of or molested. Two wrongs doesn’t make a right
this is not argue with you just adding opnions /gen
i wholehearted agree with you except for crimes against children then by all means let them rot not death but rotting in prison, death is too good for them
@fall-ofachilles, this post is about you. If crimes against children receive extra-special punishment, then the State is directly incentivized to find an angle by which to define the people it doesn’t like as having committed crimes against children.
Y'know, such as defining Existing While Queer as a sex-crime against children. For an extremely non-hypothetical, entirely real world example.
i was more referring to convicted child predators i.e pedophiles
You’re not listening to me. If “Pedophiles” are uniquely punished under the law, guess what will immediately happen to the definition of the word “Pedophile?” It will be broadened and broadened until it contains everyone the State does not like.
This is in no way hypothetical; there are a great many american states which are actively pushing legislation to define “being trans” as a form of pedophilia.
Florida is a state that is already doing this. They are already defining trans people existing around children as a sex crime against children.
To all the people asking what to do with the people who “can’t be rehabilitated”, just put them in a closed type facility and then don’t let them out.
We only need to restrict a serial killer’s civil and human rights to the degree required to stop them from continuing to kill people, any further is just punishment.
We should not allow the government to punish people (up to and including the use of death) only to rehabilitate and if that isn’t possible then contain them.
Human rights aren’t “good guy rights” or “the people I like rights” and should only be restricted with the goal of protecting other peoples human rights (like the right to live, which may be protected by containing the serial killer or in some other way preventing them from killing).
The Justice system, even if it was magically significantly improved, would still make mistakes, and even if some Horrible Crime truly deserves punishment, allowing even a single innocent to receive said punishment is unacceptable.
