      I have kids and wouldn’t harm them even if there was no jail sentence and I would gain money from it. What is your point?

        “She was torturing them because she needed to vent.” Sounds an awful lot like justifying her actions.

          Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?

          Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that’s kinda a big part of solving it.

              People like you have had their impact on our justice system which is part of why it’s such shit show. You just want to react and punish even if putting aside emotions and reaching for understanding could prevent it in the first place.

                  We should be rehabilitating people and getting support systems in place. This act was horrendous, but there’s already laws against what she did and punishments for it so why is your answer to just keep banging our heads against the wall doing the same shit? Justice shouldn’t just be about revenge. Our views and treatment of mental health in this country is abysmal, to say the least. Our prisons are just slave labor that don’t do anything but chew people up and spit them out to fail and go back in again. Even if you’re the type to get raging justice boners you gotta be able to see that our legal system is bullshit all the way down.

                  Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?

                  Of course a broken person shouldn’t be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit

                  Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.

                  Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that’s dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.

          It is a justification. Still abhorrent and unforgiven, but it is still better than just seeing this as a singular incident with no corralation to any other such occurrence. Highlighting this as a systemic problem would really help all involved.

          Shunning those who point these errors out will not help however.
