So I'm a troll because of my post, yet here you are with: "And imagine if the guy is actually hit in the belly, he'll die really slowly and really painfully. But you'd probably go ahead and put a bullet in his head to put him out of his misery; aren't you merciful. "
Yup. Told you I was aggravated. I'm not innocent of occasional trolling myself.
Yes, an instant death headshot is better than having 50,000 volts surge through you (have you ever had it happen to you? I have, and it doesn't go away in 5 minutes), espicially since liberals are so against using those on criminals as well anyways. Which is it? Use a gun or use a tazer?
Tazer. Who said liberals are against tazers in general?
I guess they're against tazer use on old ladies, pregnant women and guys standing on ledges. Against irresponsible tazer use.
As for your question, no, I haven't experienced it myself. But tell me honestly, would you rather be dead?
And yet, a large number of criminals have nothing but that, a perspective of pure hatred.
Then the penitentiary system has failed its function (it isn't - or at least shouldn't - be primarily there to punish). Though I'm not surprised that happens when it's already overcrowded and not providing perspectives for the future. It'd be one of the issues that must be adressed.
They lost their chance to be upholding citizens, so they don't deserve any of my capital to pay for their color TV or their hot meals.
Sort of agreed, but this is what I meant with "black and white". There are criminals that need to stay locked away forever for heinous crimes. They don't deserve much comfort besides that for which they work themselves. But those aren't the only kind. Some of them are basically kids who made a mistake. Others got suckered in by their peers. Again, others fell into an addiction and did it solely to feed this addiction. These people are criminals but, in a way, they're victims too and the system
should rehabilitate them and give those that deserve it a second chance.
And yes, IF the system worked, criminals would pay for themselves, but it doesn't, so why should I pay for their luxuries?
Because things can be
improved instead of keeping them the same, flawed way forever.
And nobody asks for prisoners to live in luxury. But there must be enough room to avoid riots and enough work to go around to keep people busy (helps them)
and productive (helps society).
