Ah, we're so nice. We let the murderers live
Everytime we send a convicted murderer to live out his or her life in prison we tell EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY POTENTIAL MURDERERS that we take murder as seriously as we do jaywalking.
I seriously doubt that our country has the capacity or the interest in keeping us as safe as we need to be.
How many children need to be killed, raped, murdered, stolen from their families before we get really pised off and put some of these monsters in the ground?
We actually take some of these punishments seriously. "3 lifetimes in prison, 146 years in prison, 100 years and 3 days". My gosh, its a fucking joke! And our children are no safer, the monsters are bolder, the system is weaker and the judicial system becomes just a dispenser of "joke justice." My new term for the prophylactic way of handling murder cases.
Judges and juries had better get their acts together and start to see what needs to be done to send a true and tried message that was once part of our national mindset, "If you kill, you die."
But they won't. Because its now all a big joke. Murder has become so commonplace, such a normal part of our reality that we can't imagine reading the newspaper or watching the news without being the headlines.
And the farther we go, the farther away from true justice we travel. Murderers are not scared of jail. They've been in jail many times in their lives. They might, they just might be scared for their lives if they think they might be killed if they kill.
But this is America. And we have no right making our streets safe and allowing our children to feel safe in their beds. Murderers have moms and dads that love them too. And murderers need love and respect and care and nurturing. And we have no right to tell them what to do, or not to do.
We might hurt their feelings. And we don't want to do that.
