Yesterday the hearings began to decide if John Lee Malvo should be tried as adult.
Your thoughts.
Your thoughts.
I think you need to look at it from the victims perspective. If it was my wife that was killed, I would want the little sh!t dead! Hell, i'd do it myself.Originally posted by patconnole
Would this be used as a deterrant? Lame! When people go on shooting rampages they don't think, "Wait, Malvo was tried as an adult! ****!"
Used to increase his punishment, for punishments sake? How about send him to prison, into counseling, make him figure out why he did it, why it was wrong, and have him tour the country to speak at high schools (in an orange prison suit and chains) about the path he took that led him to those actions and what he believes others can do to avoid the same path. Children, Parents, School Officials, Society In General learn from his and our mistakes....... and he does it all in order to improve his prison conditions from food/water oriented to cable tv oriented.

We know why he did it, it's no big mystery. He didn't get enough love from his mommy, and this psycho starts talking to him, so now he feels love from a maniac. WHO GIVES A SH!T why he did it! He needs to pay for his crime. Period.
How would you have handled Hitler? Get him to tell everyone he's sorry, everyone hug and cry, then all is forgiven?
I'm sick of this liberal crap!
I've never had some big personal loss because of someone else's actions, so I can't say for sure how I'd feel about the perpetrator's punishment... I haven't crossed that "bridge", so I'm able to look at it from an idealist's perspective. And, my ideal is (not sure what it's based on, part of christianity?), is that we don't kill to punish, and we try to learn from history.Originally posted by Jesus

You totally exagerate my position, simply because it has a less revenge oriented solution..... Did I say hug? say sorry? cry? forgive? Those are the hippie/pacifists/"weak" stereotypes. As soon as someone even suggests that we take a less violent approach the "Liberal, Weak, Hippie, Pacifist" bell goes off in your head (IMO), and you make some big leap to me wanting to have Hitler of all people say sorry as punishment?
Anyway, my ideal punishment for him would be to spend the rest of his life in prison in minimalist conditions (food/water) with the option of going out and speaking (IN CHAINS) to people his story can benefit, in order to improve his prison conditions (if the state deems it worthwhile). You and I may know why he did it-- But as evidenced from even posts on this board, many many teens/kids will head on his path one day, and hearing his story while watching him speak, IN CHAINS, would not only act as a deterrant but hopefully give people that may follow in his footsteps a better option.

True dat, thats why Damn True's post with the aborted babies was so disturbing...Originally posted by patconnole
Yes. And a hippie, pacifist, and some other stuff too. You probably wanted to make Hitler hug his victims as punishment.
I'm sick of these liberals wanting "peaceful", less "violent" solutions. Pansies, that's what I call 'em.

good pro/con analysis.
If I was to support the death penalty, I'd make it so they were publicly held.... like in a central park, or at a main intersection in the city, a place where many many people live and work. It might backfire on me, but it would at least connect people with what they're sanctioning. It's easier to support the dirty work when you can't see it.

I understand wanting to kill Malvo, Bin Laden, Hussien, who ever signed Warrant to a major label, but I'm still conflicted with how that jibes with my relgious system.
Yep, this could easily backfire on me.Originally posted by Jesus
For me personally, I have seen the dirty work of people getting "put to death" (Bosnia, Norther Africa, Middle East, etc...), and I support it. Especially in a case like this where the guy is obviously guilty.
