    No, this is some “we need to be better than those we convict, and that means always considering mercy as those we punish failed to” bullshit.

    You’re right though. Deep fry em all in Crisco, balls first, all slow like, and make their parents watch! Woooooo justice!

      Did he get the death penalty? What are you proposing his sentence be then? Couple weeks and some knitting classes? Rehabilitation takes time, and I’m all for that. But that’s not what Ashton and Mila were asking for. They were asking for a lighter sentence because he’s a good guy. You aren’t even arguing about the original topic though so none of this is relevant anyways.

      People who abuse others only to hide behind fame and religion do not need us to be better. They need to be made an example of.

        I consider our ENTIRE “justice” system to be archaic, regressive, punitive, pay to win, and unredeemable. It needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. We have no rehabilitation, more prisoners oer capita than any nation on Earth by a lot, even the ones we ironically make fun of for being authoritarian, and basically we expect to torture our way out of criminality.

        I agree Masterson deserves no special treatment, but Americans deserve a benevolent justice system that seeks restorative justice, absolutely NOT making examples of people as we do all the time to cruel cheers.

        You really want our courts to continue to appeal to fear rather than respect?
