the left in america doesnt even wanna ban all guns or abolish the police. those are lazy positions the right tries to paint all democrats into while no elected democrat that i know of supports either thing.

what we absolutely need is much better gun control along with a national firearm registry and zero tolerance for people convicted of any kind of violent crime owning any firearms. we also need much better police accountability and vetting. both of those things are positions the public is massively in favor of and could prevent tons of problems we face as a nation.

when the top 10 nations combatting climate change are all capitalist countries i think your point about capitalism causing climate change isnt particularly salient. our world is one of consumption and waste, and the old soviet union or maoist china were certainly among the worst offenders. climate change isnt tied to an economic system, its a human problem that can be addressed by any economic system but clearly capitalist nations are doing the best at addressing it currently

The law doesnt care about context, it doesnt care about the why, this is true.

But public opinion is not the law. Right and wrong, also, is not the law. The law is simply a system designed to preserve order over justice. It recognizes that vigilante justice is disorderly, and therefore is forbidden.

the law may not care about the 'why' but the american justice system does or is suppose to to an extent. its why judges/juries have to consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances. in practice this doesnt work out equally for everyone, with minorities being treated more harshly on average regardless of circumstance, but it is suppose to consider the situation as a whole

What the children don't understand is that the law is about your actions, not who the other person is.

"Well he was a bad guy" is completely irrelevant.

Picking a name out of a hat and saying they did something is not the same as the justice sytem arresting and convicting.

the law isnt just about someones actions, its about the situation in totality. the reasoning behind the actions are taken into account as explained extensively itt

We are seeing a massive rise in the number of people suffering from famine due directly to the refusal of capitalists to listen to climate scientists because it wasn't / isn't profitable

Record numbers year over year of people suffering from starvation due to climate driven food insecurity

it isnt just capitalists, china is the worst polluter on the planet. not heeding climate change isnt defined by economic ideaology

the nations currently doing the most to combat climate change are: denmark, estonia, philippines, india, netherlands, morocco, sweden, chile.

all of the nations on that list are capitist nations so while no one is doing enough to combat climate change, capitalist nations apparently are doing much better than communist ones

So when a capitalist country does it's not tied to an economic system

Got it

reread my comment and maybe actually respond to that. war related famines are related to war. when the communists and nazis teamed up to start ww2 and invade poland, the famines that followed werent communist famines in the east and fascist famines in the west, they were famine caused by war. its almost like things have different causes that you can examine.

an example of ideaology causing famine would be like the holodomor or great chinese famine as already outlined itt. the irish great potato famine was caused by the british, a nominally capitalist country at the time. i think we will find in modern history that famines have been much deadlier when executed by communist regimes who tend to not care about tens of millions of deaths

Let's go a bit more modern than even that

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip_famine

your wiki article says that a famine is not currently happening but is at risk of happening if israel keeps committing war crimes.

war related famines arent tied to an economic system though, its just evil people causing suffering. not quite the same thing as every major communist government committing genocide by intentional famine

I don't feel sympathy for the guy.

But I do feel sympathy for everyone that had to witness it and and the restaurant who likely suffered from damages.

Like thats just fucking horrific. She didn't just capture the guy and execute him. She literally found him in a restaurant and set him on fire in front of everyone. She traumatized everyone there and likely did property damage.

This was not a crime in which the only victim was a rapist.

this is a valid point and restitution for damages could have been part of her punishment instead of prison time

It's interesting seeing people discuss capital punishment as barbaric but then applaud citizens for executing criminals. Don't misunderstand. I'd have acted as the mom did. I'm also for capital punishment, though.

capital punishment is barbaric. saying you understand why something happened isnt the same thing as applauding it or advocating for it. ideally this kind of thing doesnt happen, but if it does it should be handled with nuance like criminal justice cases are supposed to be handled anyway.

our justice system isnt some unyielding thing that prescribes absolute punishment for crimes in most cases. judges and juries have latitude in determining sentences to an extent and there are guidelines for different offenses. mitigating circumstances are supposed to be considered in sentencing for all crimes in which someone can receive prison time.

No, that's how law is supposed to work. The phrase "justice is blind" refers to being impartial. Certainly you could make an argument this guy deserved it, but where is the line? Who decides who deserves what?

A court of law with rules that aren't just about hurt feelings, that's what.

It sounds to me like her reduced sentence was taking into account this guy was unrepentant and threatening future violence. It's perfectly fine to say "Fuck that guy, he was an asshole" but the law can't work that way.

if 'justice was blind' we wouldnt have a jury system and the justice system wouldnt take into account aggravating and mitigating factors.

the law shouldnt accomodate vigilante justice as a rule, juries and judges should just be able to take extraordinary cases into account when they occur. this happened in the case of the dad that killed his sons rapist in the 80's when the judge sentenced him to probation.

prison sentences are ideally about rehabilitating people or locking up the people that are too dangerous for society. in this kind of instance the person doesnt need to be rehabilitated and there is no danger to society so there is no need for the person to be incarcerated 'just because'.

Monopoman posted...
Well as they say an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, if you allow shit like this basically revenge killing would be more and more popular. The mother of this guy might want revenge and guess who she would go after etc.

It also flies in the face of the legal system, it's basically like saying if someone kills your 10 year old kid and only gets 15 years in prison you take it upon yourself to murder them the second they step out. Sure this guy was brazen as fuck about it, but that is not relevant she should face punishment. I also will point out already the prison system usually comes down hard on people like this, if they find out you are a rapist or a pedo you typically have a FAR harder prison life.

this kind of situation is exceedingly rare and the handful of times it has happened has not caused a rise in vigilante justice attempts. people shouldnt face punishment blindly because someone in a completely different scenario does for different reasons. if a person is not a danger to society and is not someone that will reoffend there is no point in locking them away. that accomplishes nothing and is counterintuitive to what we actually want to have happen

Bruh not sending a revenge killer to prison sends the message that vigilante justice is a-ok. These are middle school level arguments.

no, applying all laws as a uniform standard regardless of circumstances across all situations would be a preschool level flub. the only message it would send is that being a violent child rapist could bring additional consequences.

the louisiana dad getting probation for killing his sons rapist/kidnapper didnt cause a spike in vigilante killings.

the circumstances in which these kinds of things would be socially acceptable are incredibly rare to the point of not being statistically relevant. citizen juries are important as they inject a perspective independant of the black and white nature of laws and punishments

Jury nullification for murder is a joke. Jury nulllification is supposed to be for nonsense like weed convictions.

nah, its supposed to be for righting injustices.

the first major example of it in us history are northern juries refusing to convict people violating the fugitive slave act.

the dad that shot and killed his sons kidnapper/groomer/rapist was given probation in louisiana in the 80's since a jury would have obviously never convicted him of murder even though the law clearly stated he was guilty.

citizen juries are important both for fairness and for the ability to not enforce certain laws in certain situations in which the application of the law would be clearly unjust.

Last time I checked, murder is, in fact, illegal.

at some point its helpful to evaluate the purpose of the justice system. what purpose does incarcerating this woman achieve? assuming she doesnt have a violent criminal record, it is unjust to send her to prison for this ahd just re-victimizes the rape survivor and sends an otherwise nonviolent person to prison without accomplishing anything positive.

this is basically the textbook example of why jury nullification can be a noble thing in rare cases

revenge killings like this are wrong in theory and should be illegal from a legal standpoint, but this is as good an argument for jury nullification in individual instances as one can have imo.

hopefully the mother of the victim ends up with only probation imo as she obviously isnt a threat to anyone that isnt a rapist

her getting actual prison time is fucked up imo. prison should be to rehabilitate people or keep violent people away from society. the mother clearly doesnt belong in prison
