      We should be rehabilitating people and getting support systems in place. This act was horrendous, but there’s already laws against what she did and punishments for it so why is your answer to just keep banging our heads against the wall doing the same shit? Justice shouldn’t just be about revenge. Our views and treatment of mental health in this country is abysmal, to say the least. Our prisons are just slave labor that don’t do anything but chew people up and spit them out to fail and go back in again. Even if you’re the type to get raging justice boners you gotta be able to see that our legal system is bullshit all the way down.

      Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?

      Of course a broken person shouldn’t be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit

      Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.

      Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that’s dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.
