    If you can support the death penalty for them, then you can also support the irreversible traumatization of them.

    However, if you cannot be confident enough in your justice system, just don’t do it. A wrongful conviction would have no possible restitution for death or torture.

      I agree with you, and that’s what I choose to think when I feel like the “best” version of me.

      But there are moments (or a part of me) that has a way more violent disposition and feels differently about people who do terrible thing.

      I’m a very calm person and not at all violent so please don’t report me to the police on the base of these posts… That violent part of me is small and weak, but I just think it’s important to acknowledge it because it’s also the part that makes me recognize that a rapist or a murderer is a person like me and that it might be me, with the wrong set of circumstances, life choices and frame of mind.
