So angry at seeing rapists get consistently acquitted because the jury thinks that "the girl deserved it" just because she wore a low-cut top. It legit makes me feel sick.
Following from that, I do not see the point in the jury at all. Any talented demagogue can sway the opinions of 20 random citizens, regardless of evidence, situation and clear guilt. Hell, it's not even unlikely that they'd be bribed, or to have inherant bias because of ridiculously personal reasons.
It's an insult to morality to have such an unjust system attempting to execute the law.
Then again, even if they do get sent to prison, it's not like that's a punishment anyway. "If you work in prison we'll give you PS3s and Wii consoles lol!!!!!" is
not the way to enforce discipline. And you shouldn't let people out on "good behaviour", either; if they HAD good behaviour then they wouldn't have committed the crime in the first damn place.
Prison is so light that people are actually breaking the law
just so they can get sent to prison. If that isn't a wakeup call, I don't know what is. Prison isn't meant to encourage crimes, it's meant to dissuade people from acting them out.
No, I
don't care about the rights of the criminals, people who have already proven themselves incapable of following decent human morals. I care about the rights of the innocent victims who get affected by the Government pussyfooting around with their welfare by saying we can't be mean or nasty to killers and rapists because it might hurt their feelings.
imo, you sacrifice your own human rights once you go out of your way to forcefully take away someone else's.
oh my goddd makes me rage
