The legality of vigilantism is fundamentally flawed

[Pokesan]

criminals are the ones committing all the crimes

You guys are closer to sharia laws than you think, you just don't call it that way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Right because killing criminals is the same as criminalizing trivial things like aldutery or homosexuality and maiming people for lesser crimes.

There's so much you're missing with this topic that I'm gonna sharpen your shovel so that you can dig better.

Well, to be fair (fare? Don't feel like googling that) you are the one who suggested executing children for taking gum ^^

From the criminal's perspective though,

Would you rather live your life bearing the shame of your transgressions loudly declared by a maiming that has rendered you dependent on the society you have violated, or would you rather liberate society of your burden?

From society's perspective,

Would you rather subject someone to the forgoing, or rid them of their shame and the free the good peoples of that burden. Why should upstanding individuals be punished for the failures of others?

That's like assuming criminals won't be able to get guns.

Not sure I follow you here :/ Are you suggesting criminals wouldn't willingly choose execution over a lost hand? You are probably right for most, but that is because they are depraved. I am simply laying the case that capital punishment is infinitely superior and in no way analogous (finally learned how to fucking spell that!) to the backwards barbarism of Sharia law.

Killing criminals is the rational thing to do
It is the just thing to do
It is the compassionate thing to do

How can it not be the right thing to do?

give me a good reason why we shouldn't torture a pedophile [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cut the hand of a thief: hey at least after he won't steal again, win win win

homosexuality is a disease, let's send them to clinics where they'll be sent electroshocks. Even if it doesn't work, at least it will ake them learn

etc, etc, etc..

of course "vigilantism" is a politically correct way of advocating lynchings [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Waste of resources and destroying oneself for vengeance is folly.

They may be more frightened to, but it renders them less capable of caring for themselves and introduces addition al burden on society.

This is just stupid ^^

etc, etc, etc..

What else? ^^

I'm not advocating vigilantism ^^ I think government should do what I proposed in the interest of the people.

wasn't talking about you, sorry if i led you to think that.

See again that kind of debate is sterile, because crime in the US has been steadily going down for decades now. But no, let's keep the business of fear going on, it sells guns and votes. That's fucked up, and it happens in europe too (minus the guns part).
