The Effect of Childhood

[kath3]

The both of you have presented good argument for and against.
Jack, I would prefer to side with you, but I have children and grandchildren and if someone were to hurt them in such a way ... well I pray that will never happen.
Mad dogs (and these types of people are no better) need to be put down. No amount of rehabilitation could restore the public's trust in these individuals ever again, and by keeping them locked away, fed, clothed, medical needs taken care of, along with whatever else they need, all at the taxpayers expense is a further injustice to the victims and their families imo.
A quick needle in the arm and the deed would be over and done. No need to torture the mad dogs, as it would put us on the same level.
I'm sure there would be plenty of individuals willing to do the deed, and seeing it as a means of ending the suffering of the inflicted. That doesn't, imo put them on the same level. I don't see it as being the same kind of wrong doing as the perpetrator ... more like a mercy killing.
