Exactly ^^ wanting other to suffer for their wrong doing is a primal urge and it needs to be stopped

No. That helps nothing. It’s just more pain

Does that person not deserve pain? A mass murderer or school shooter causes irreversible harm on a massive scale, so the punishment should be as severe. They should not have the privilege to enjoy another day of their life, senseless murder or raping a child is the worst thing a human can do.

I go to a university that had a shooting in recent memory. The detrimental effect that event had on the students, families, and faculty should be addressed in a courtroom. In my opinion, the shooter should be sentenced to the same amount of pain and suffering as the entire school had that day. Imagine you send your child to uni and they are shot while enjoying their day, it's absolutely terrible and completely disgraceful. The shooter should pay forever, I think the death sentence is too easy.

Do two wrongs make a right? An eye for an eye and the world goes blind. What does harming someone purely out of retribution solve?

Idk man. Look at people who abuse/kill kids and tell me they deserve no punishment. Im not about this “moral high ground” thing. Eye for an eye. Dont do it to someone else if you dont want it done back to you.

Letting them get off scot-free is even worse. All it does is encourage the behavior.

I am/was a pacifist but recent times are making me second guess that sadly. If no punishment is enforced then it only encourages the perpetrators to repeat their crimes without fear of consequences…

It sets a precedent that could potentially discourage future tragedies.

Does their suffering actually fix the harm they’ve done? Does it mean they atone in some way for it? Will the child they hurt be healed in any way by it?

I say, an eye for an eye. If someone purposely causes an innocent person to suffer, they deserve to suffer.

Yeah it does actually. If someone punched me, it would in fact make me feel better if they got punched in return. Its basic karma.

Who said anything about letting them off scot free? Let them rot in prison forever and never see the light of day, but it is always a crime against humanity to torture someone

Have you ever seen someone get tortured? I don’t know how anyone can even imagine that happening to any human being and not find it morally repugnant

You're right and you should say it. They should go to prison but suffering literally does nothing. It doesn't help the victim, and it doesn't help society.

I’d have to dig it back up to find it but there are several interviews with the family of victims of murderers on death row, and most of them have said that it doesn’t give them any kind of closure, it just feels like more needless death

And in terms of child abuse and SA, I can say from personal experience that it’s complicated. It’s most likely to be someone you know and are already close with, not just some random stranger. Harsher punishments make it more likely that perpetrators try to prevent any kind of reporting going so far as to kill the victim. Survivors often blame themselves for what happens after. Not saying that there isn’t more nuance to the psychological stuff that goes with that, but state violence doesn’t help
