It's not that I believe we should go easy on criminals, only that if we want to sentence somebody to beatings, torture, gang rape, and a shank in the eye ... then lets just go ahead and sentence them to it and make sure the torture is carried out properly.
If this kind of punishment is the right thing to do, then our conscience will demand it. If such a sentence offends our conscience, then maybe we should think about that for a moment.
But turning a blind eye, nodding and winking is the stuff of banana republics. |
If you want him dead, then sentence him to death. The back room vigilante justice is really no justice at all.
