Do you suppose then that maybe complaining isn't enough?
Well that when vigilantes will appear
What else can you do other than complain/protest?

Not quite true. We've been complaining about fairer sentencing! Pot smokers getting ten years while crooks (bankers) who steal peoples homes and livelihoods walk free is what we're complaining about!
Dont let them play you with emotional stories!

Pot smokers don't get ten years in this country, maybe a grower or supplier.
I completely agree with what you say about 'fairer sentencing', a very good point, I was about to go down the too lenient route until I took a second to think about what you said.
Good pictures from your link by the way. Really enjoyed them.

I never said I was anti death penalty I am for the death penalty when it comes to murder and rape.
There are plenty of people who are against the government approved killing of their citizens and I get it even though I don't agree but when scum kill scum I think most people can live with that.

If complaining doesn't work, and protesting doesn't work, and you can't think of anything left to do, try changing the world around by changing the way you think about it.

what you expect?
Someone kills a baby and they get to walk after 4 years when a pot smoker or tax evaders gets more!

So what give up and accept killings not such a bad thing and worthy of only a couple of years in Prison?
Accept that government knows best?

What do I expect? Rationality. I don't want to turn into one of them by harbouring similar thought patterns.

I suggest the state utilize the death penalty for those who fit a specific criteria, ie any adult who perpetrates a crime against a child; among other things.
