    Also it costs a fuckton to prosecute and in many ways is any easy way out. What, you’re giving the guy who shot 3 kids and then tried to shoot himself the death penalty?

    Life in prison, where the food is just enough to not starve, the healthcare just enough to continue your suffering, where you’re surrounded 24/7 by the worst of humanity is about as close to hell as we know exists. Just put people in there.

      I know it might be a fine line, but there’s a difference between punishment and torture.

      I would rather the tax money, which would likely be in the millions, be spent on schools and bettering peoples life. Not the furtherance of misery. You want to torture someone. When a person has undoubtedly perpetrated terrible crimes, put them to sleep. Who gets their rocks off thinking about the suffering someone is gonna Go thru? Sick fucks
