I'm not assuming anything, you basically said them yourself. No because there is no such thing as a life sentence. And I'm assuming you think a man
deserves to live without the pain and anguish they have done upon their victim? Your mindset is what keeps criminals in business. "do what you want
they'll just throw you in jail for a few years". Start doing what I propose and see how quick crime rates drop.
Nobody deserves to live with pain and anguish, regardless of what they have done. That is just your irrational opinion. What you are saying is that
the justice system is what is effecting the outcome of people with disturbed minds, which is a fallacy. Criminals do not act in regards of thinking
about a negative outcome, they act in regards of a positive outcome and what they ultimately want.
A bank robber would not think to himself "Okay, I will rob a bank and only have to get a few years in prison." they would think "I will rob a bank
and flee the country, where I can be safe and live happily with my money." The hypocritical system you are pitching would not effect the impulsive.
The damage would already be done regardless.
There is such thing as a life-sentence, I'm not sure where you are getting that information from. Also, there is therapy and social rehabilitation.
Just because a man made a mistake does not mean he should be removed from all chance to turn his life around. To do a wrong to him for him doing a
wrong is just ridiculous and makes no sense. That is death worship, not life worship.
