>Sometime during this period, Bundy was attacked by a group of his fellow death row inmates. Though he denied having been assaulted a number of inmates confessed to the crime, characterized by one source as "gang rape"
Renowned works which explain this cruelty?
Bundy was kind of a bad man who had it coming.
It’s pretty pathetic that prisoners think they’re badass for beating up on certain classes of convict. They’re all scummy. Just because they “only” murdered for drug money or because their wife cheated on them or whatever doesn’t make them less evil than any other murderer, and assaulting others is just a furtherance of their low character, this time in the pursuit of assuring themselves they’re, “not that bad.”
Bring back the automatic death penalty for most felonies like they had in Britain during the 18th century. Society would be a better place.
>criminals are bad for killing people
>they think killing other bad people makes them good, but they're wrong
>let's kill them all
I hope you're aware of the obvious implication.
You realize that murder is different from judicially sanctioned killing, such as execution or killing enemy forces in a war? Nice try though.
YEAH KILLEM
>Execute them after at most one appeal
>Feed, house, and attempt to rehabilitate them for 20 years or in many cases the rest of their life, taking millions of dollars out of the taxpayer’s pocket that would be better spent on education and social programs designed to stop poor children from growing into murderers in the first place
And yet Reddit liberals will tell you that YAH KILLEM is the less sophisticated option.
not an argument kiddo
i hope you die soon
>the powers that be say its OK
Coping mechanism activated.
You're just rationalizing away your bad impulses. The criminals are justifying their wanton murder with "but he deserved it", and you justify organized murder with "but it's legal, and they deserve it". If anything it's even more cowardly since you're hiding behind the formalism of law and of course you're not the one who will be performing the execution.
You didn't consider the many very serious problem that come with "automatic death penalty" (cost, public outrage, the insane rate of false conviction in any modern judicial system). Clearly you didn't think this through, perhaps you did not think it at all, and I'd even argue that this is a symptom of your lack of regard for the law. If this what not just some murderous fantasy you're playing out in your head for the sake of feeling self-righteous you'd actually have wondered what it means to implement "automatic death penalty".
The key word is implement, changes in the judicial system don't magically happen as intended because some smart guy at the top as declared it.
TL,DR: You're a wanker and you're lying to yourself, do some self-examination, study law perhaps.
Because they value human life more than tax dollars. Such cucks, we all know lowering taxes is more important that the lives of human beings. /s

>all murder is equal
yeah, shooting a rival gang member is definitely the same as cruelly torturing some girl you've kidnapped
fucking brainlet
Why should people who attack my society be allowed to live? It is no different from a person invading my property with the intent to commit a crime. I have the absolute Natural Law right to kill that person. I may CHOOSE to do less, but that is only a superabundance of mercy that is selectively exercised when the situation merits it. I extend the same Law to all of society, and regard every crime committed against my fellow citizens the same way I would a crime committed against me, my family, or my property.
People such as Pope Francis who argue against severe punishments for criminals think they are doing so out of the virtue of Charity. In fact, they are misdirecting their love, which should be aimed toward the protection of their society—loving one’s neighbor as oneself. By worshipping the criminal above all, and putting the virtue of mercy on a pedestal, you are in fact hating your neighbor, thereby violating one of the greatest commandments there is.
Your conception arises from a disordered understanding of what evil is. Without realizing it, you’re using a utilitarian conception which supposes that evil is simply the deprivation of pleasure or the causing of pain to another. In fact, the act of murder is evil in itself in that it violates the Natural relations between men. The object of the murder has nothing whatsoever to do with it. In saying so you are actually making the same perverse judgment as the Nazis did: you are arguing that some men are more valuable and more worth protecting from death than other men.
Just as an aside to the broader argument, this horror of the death penalty speaks to the foolish materialism that pervades our society. Anyone trained in philosophy (indeed, anyone who read just the first couple of Plato’s dialogues) knows that mind came before matter, and physical death is not the end of our existence, so the death penalty is actually a LESS cruel punishment than life in prison. I am the humane one here.
your conception apparently arises from having read yourself stupid.
>the broader argument
which one? can't find an argument in your post, just some projection, some strawmen and some vague statements expressing how much you believe yourself to have a deep understanding of something or other. next time, please pad your post with less words.
actually, having read your post again, I'm responding to some bait you copied from reddit, am I not?
You seem really upset. Please try to calm down, and when you are subdued enough to understand my post just let me know if you have any actual questions.
you seem mad. please take a deep breath, and when your heart rate is down again, and your face is no longer red, let me know if you have any questions.
Disgusting. People really are animals.
What happens to people who cannot be rehabilitated? Lock them up in a cage for an entire lifetime? You should keep in mind that this is a waste of resources and is totally pointless.
They're locked up until their death. Their life is worth nothing in a cage. It would be more merciful to give them swift death, which is what most prisoners want anyways, as opposed to wasting resources by imprisoning them for numerous decades until their death.
>value human life
That’s precisely why I support death penalty in extreme cases.
Locking someone up for 30+ years to be isolated, raped, and guaranteed no life if they survive to release is torture.
I’d certainly rather die than serve any sentence over ~20. If I was older it’d go down to 10.
Unironically it's you who has invoked the materialist reduction in thinking that all murders are equal simply because the material recipient of it is the the same. as Socrates acknowledges even criminals must have at least some justice, and as justice is, among other things, helping ones friends and hurting one enemies, there is at least some of a selfless dedication to the good in being a soldier on the front line of a gang war with the requisite courage and comradely duty it entails, more than a serial rapist for sure. The one killing has much more of the good than the other.
Why a waste of resources? They could be used to do a lot of shit that would benefit society under the surveillance of guards. Like, you know, some physical work for stuff in the city.

That is slavery.
>. In saying so you are actually making the same perverse judgment as the Nazis did: you are arguing that some men are more valuable and more worth protecting from death than other men.
Of course it is, men are not equal, I'm proud to agree with nazis on this one
Fact: most prison is actually consensual.
That is slavery, which would make prisons more profitable, which would turn prison into an industry, which would allow the prison industry to lobby in favor of imprisoning higher volumes of people despite the obvious ethical concerns of this. I don't see how you view a merciful, painless death to be worse than decades of forced labor and lobbying against the rights of citizens. This is what has already happened in the US and which is why the US has the largest prison population in the world.
How do you people find your way here? Go back.
A thing which has existed for millenia until two hundred years ago people said it was wrong because it's mean.

lmao, this reminds of Stalin and Hitler.
Both killed millions but one wasn't a racist so it was ok for him to do it

There's also the huge amount of niggers in the US, who are prone to committing crimes.
You need prison rape explained to you?
Motive is lost on you
Any person who commits unprovoked violence should be killed immediately.
One of those committed no crimes, the other one just a couple
