You said criminals give up equality to other humans when they voluntarily choose to commit crimes.

I said all people are equal even if they break the law. The reason we can punish criminals is not because they give up equality or become sub human, but rather because the social contract includes justice.

I don't see how the type of crime or the type of punishment is relevant. I don't see what Putin has to do with this either.
