But I'd still sooner see us rise above it, and go with life imprisonment instead.
Sentences do seem too light though - when a murdered can get out in around a decade, something seems wrong...
As for child molesterers.. I don't understand why people put these on a level with murderers. Sure, it's f***ed up, but a victim of a child molesterer can get over their experiences and live a full life. It won't be easy, but it's a hell of a lot more than a corpse can do.
Another question was knocking around my head lately - if you're against the death penalty generally, would you have preferred the IRA's murderers to have been sentenced to death?
I probably would - so that spineless politicians couldn't have let them out early, to threaten more innocents' lives.
I think not.
Besides, some people shouldn't be able to get out of things by just dying.
(Terry Pratchet quote)
So if some one killed one of your relations you wouldn't want them to die?
There is the possibility of getting the wrong guy, but nowaday with ferenzics (sp?) it is very unlikely.
