She can't stay in PC forever though.

zer0systm · 07-08-2011, 03:18 PM

She'll kill herself, the public backlash she'll receive after this will push her to the edge and over.
It's only just a matter of time.

Jaxon · 07-08-2011, 03:23 PM

And I still would.

Unfortunately she's only going to spend about a week in jail, due to having served time while waiting trial and good behavior. There won't be much opportunity for someone to ambush her.

mo smiles on the day of her sentencing, before the verdict

Once she's back on the streets, though...

At least, to my knowledge, Florida does have the same retarded time-served system that Manitoba does, where a criminal can receive double credit for time served before and during the trial. There have been some cases where the person is free to go essentially prior to their sentencing.

Prison systems everywhere could use an overhaul. Prison is a deterrent for many people, and some people can be rehabilitated, but the main reason prison prevents crime is be keeping dangerous criminals off the streets.

Graduated sentencing, in which the sentence for a crime increases with each repeat offense, is one of the best things that could happen to the justice system. The other best thing that could happen is for it to be understood that you are given rights in exchange for your agreement to follow the law. If you break that law, you should forfeit many of your rights, much unlike Maniotoba's much decried "Hug-a-Thug" policies that offer more support for the criminal than the victim. Shit's whack, mane.

life sentences are the most ridiculous things ever. i would prefer death penalty instead of that. wasting all our tax money for nothing. yay for overcrowded jailz in cali.

**Mal** · 07-08-2011, 05:06 PM

The only problem I have with the capital punishment is the possibility of wrongful convictions. They are incredibly rare though, and only going to become more so as forensic technology improves, so I would be in favour of the death penalty. Also, none of this "spend years on death row" bullshit. If they're going to die, just get it over with.

OG · 07-08-2011, 05:39 PM

yea some of them live til old age before their death penalty comes around =\

01purple · 07-08-2011, 05:44 PM

I would just kill myself instead of waiting twenty years to die anyway.

Or arrange for someone to help me escape in an epic jail-break. =D

Let's step back, take a deep breath, and maybe remove some of the emotional bias we have because of the current situation. Think of all the people that our corrupt city governments have put on death row even though they didn't deserve it.

Plus, I do not think the death penalty will necessarily solve the overcrowded prison problem. That has to do with tons of people locked up because of drugs.

Jaxon · 07-08-2011, 09:14 PM

Anti-death penalty lobby reporting in. This is because I don't believe short-sighted biblical concepts like "eye for an eye" belong in an enlightened society, and even if we're not one, we should aim to be.

zer0systm · 07-08-2011, 09:17 PM

Yeah, I'm a no go with the death penalty. Shit, in school I wrote letters for Amnesty to try get people in the US off it.

I probably failed, buuuuut you never know

Very good chance I failed.

Alas, very small % of the population would say the same. Most would not care, others would say kill him/her. Nice that you are an optimist about an enlightened society, but I don't see it happening. Ever.

Also, I am not sure if I am against the DP (haha), but if you ask me, it's harder to live through the rest of your life in a prison then a swift death, so I guess I'd say that I am.

RNB · 07-08-2011, 09:32 PM

I believe in the death penalty for extreme cases, like Osama Bin Laden types, but even then, I don't think that we should believe the illusion that it solves the actual terrorist problem.

I am totally against using it on citizens of our own country, though.
