I’m not fine with any of it it’s just a fact. Poor kid was tortured and murdered for what would be a rounding error in an atomic weight compared to crimes committed in our name by those in high office and protected classes. I never said he “deserved” it, just merely pointed out bad choices can have really bad unforeseen consequences.
Also I do know one thing. As a participant of the tea party march on Washington I considered going to Trump’s speech on the mall, but I never would have participated in entering the Capitol. Conservatives should have known better.
In today’s world people have to really weigh their choices and protect themselves from unintended bad outcomes.
I don’t consider it just a fact. There is a culture in America which demands nonstop punishment as a means to teach criminals a lesson by subjecting them to ultimate punishments.
It’s also not Biblical, because the Bible demands punishments that fit the crime.
I thank you for clarifying that you’re not among those here who share the idea that prisons should be forever punishments.
In today’s world people have to really weigh their choices and protect themselves from unintended bad outcomes.
We should also insist on justice and equal application of the law. Did all those people who broke into the Senate building to threaten Senators during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings go to jail? Did all those protestors that recently broke into congress a couple of weeks ago, go to jail?
Did any of the people involved in the riots of 2020 go to jail? They set fires to buildings, cars and what have you, but did any of them go to jail?
The Constitution forbids different standards of justice, but what we keep seeing is two different standards of law being applied to people.
