And even in cases like this mistakes have been made before. But you obviously can't accept that, as your whole position would fall apart, so you instead talk about this way that will surely work that somehow nobody else came up with.
Also, don't act like killing a murderer somehow brings back the people he murdered. The only difference between locking them up for life and killing them is that the earlier leaves you the option of freeing them if it's proven your innocent, whereas the latter fulfills your bloodlust.
Mate, have fun calling me delusional, I don't care. It's pretty obvious you're a young kid stumbling upon these philosophical ideas for the first time, and you simply can't accept that the "simple and obvious" solution you're proposing is flawed. But since it feels right to you, it can't be wrong! And that's what I call bloodlust.
See, perfect example. I'm not "defending the lives of the most disgusting humans on the planet", I'm defending the lives of the innocent people your quest for revenge will kill as collateral damage. Because, spoiler alert, locking up a terrible murderer for the rest of their life will not allow them to murder. But you don't care that innocent people will die.
Show me the mistake in such a case as that? Please id love to see your fictitious case because if you show me cases where the person had a shit lawyer and died because of insufficient council or evidence that had been withheld by the prosecution or bias by the judge or jury based of false information then I would argue that that is a failure of the system through courrupt individual that uses it in inappropriate ways its not intended to be used and not proportional justice that i seek.
Yet again you make a stupid claim "like its gonna bring them back" are you dense? Are you purposely being obtuse? Not sure if you are or not.
Blood lust? Someone call the hyperbole police on this person and yes you are delusion equating my belief in proportional justice as a blood lust for the innocence imma bout to slay? That i would argue is simplistic. Oh so just because I found out what the idea behind my belief is all of a sudden im a petulant immature child?
You are the child in this point, labeling people casting your ideals on them without a serious conversation? Thats your immaturity, not understanding why a person would prefer their child murderer to not exist (and again specific to this case) is a perfectly rational response.
You literally are defending their ability to avoid proportional justice so they can either be "rehabilitated" to leave and possibly commit a much worse crime or spend vasts amounts of money to keep housing the worst people like some macabre collection to leer at.
I seek retribution not revenge. I seek a proportional sentence for the crime convicted of.
This bit got me the most lol Because, spoiler alert, locking up a terrible murderer for the rest of their life will not allow them to murder. But you don't care that innocent people will die.
Ahh yeah they do, people with life sentences don't care if they get time added, they gonna die there any way.... very very simple view there
And if you were paying any attention before you would understand that NO I DO care if innocent people die.
