How do you justify a change from throwing acid in a 3 year old's face?
What does it tell you about the justice system when you have people in prison making more money than they do on the outside? What does it tell you when drugs are just as easy to get on the outside? What does it tell you when their biggest worry is whether they get exercise or to see their mates that day because the staff levels are low? Maybe it's which colour brand new Audi RS they should order from their cell with the money they have made that's gone to their families on the outside?
It is very naive to think if a man had thrown acid in your child's face you would just want him to be put away to try to change his ways. Either that or you are up there with a Saint.
You are sat there watching your child go through unimaginable pain while the person who did it is getting fed, watered and more than likely smoking drugs with his pals in his cell watching TV? I will take the wanting him to hurt option, none of this meeting him to try and understand him / forgive him nonsense.
What do you mean how do I justify it? Sorry I don’t understand the question but I will happily answer it once clarifies...
That’s avoiding the point nick. Nowhere have I said that what goes on in prison is right. What I am pointing out is what is wrong. I agree all of that is wrong. And it shouldn’t be happening.
But what I am also saying is that It doesn’t mean because it is going on doesn’t mean we should accept the man being rapes beaten or tortured.
Hey I’m not gonna lie if it happened in the moment? I would probably beat him within an inch of his life. I wouldn’t think. If it happened and the guy was already restrained or I wasn’t there... or if I had the chance to gather my sense. I stand by what I said. I would want him put away. Human society starts improving when we start educating people.
Well clearly we have two very different view points. And that is fair enough. Free society. But if I was in that situation, I would care more about helping my child than trying to think up revenge or for assualt to be accepted in society.
It’s very easy to think about the small picture. Instant revenge, one person suffering, being tortured or whatever.
But what I would care about is making sure it never happened to anyone else. I believe that lies in education and not just for the perpetrators, but for everyone.
