Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?

You made a stupid post asking “why don’t we do this: if people do X then we should do Y.” People don’t support Y and you then say they must then support people who do X? You are putting words in people’s mouths an they don’t like that. You are also advocating for harm against people who may be innocent or are also human.

Ever heard of Emmett Till? He a black boy who was accused of whistling at a white woman in 1955 and was lynched, tortured and killed for it. He didn’t do it, and the woman much later admitted she lied about it. Yet nothing has happened to her and his murderers were acquitted

No I made a a post asking why they are protected, people that do those crimes aren’t human.

  Hm so a false accusation leading to a the lynching of an innocent man is completely ok though. They’re not human, right?

    Never said it was right. But that’s a different topic from what we’re speaking on. I’m sure they knew he didn’t whistle at her, they didn’t care he was black.

    What about in the case of a false accusation of rape or when the wrong person (i.e. not the person who committed the crime but a different person) is inevitably tried and found guilty

  Against my better judgement, let me ask you this.
  
  What makes you say they are protected in jail? Because they get to be alive?
  
  Have you seen how people in jail are being treated? (At least in America)
  
  Is it not better for them to be kept alive so they can regret their actions, rather than ending their existence? Giving them opportunity to pay for their actions with something else than their lives?
  
  Also, why should we not attack the underlying problem of why people commit these atrocious actions to begin with? Do you really believe they were born with the intention of committing these crimes?
  
  If you are willing to live with yourself after murdering another human being, you are no different from the rapists who are willing to live with themselves after damaging another human being for life. They might be evil human beings, but they are still human.

    Half of them don’t regret their actions, when I read articles most of them had previous charges already, they didn’t learn. They’ll do it again

That’s different, they did that because they were just racist
