      Limited value when he’s talking about her age screams sex trafficking to me. He should be investigated.

      Who do you think is going to decide who is corrupt? Why wouldn’t that position be filled by a corrupt individual?

        I do think a lot of people already behave because they are afraid of the consequences. And we use peers to decide their fate. A mini mob if you will.

        I understand what you are getting at though. I’m just not sure tolerating behavior that this story is any better. Is putting him away forever any better than the death penalty?

        What world do you live in where those things aren’t already the case? You think parents watch their kids starve for fun? Have you missed all of the stories of extralegal killings?

        This is so privileged and naive.

      How?

      We can’t even stop police from continuing to do their job after they murder people, how are we going to give them the death penalty? And how is the state publicly murdering people going to discourage officers of the state from murdering people?

      I can understand the feeling of anger but public hanging? Come on. People who earnestly want public hanging back are troglodytic fascists.

      Please move to Russia/China. We don’t do that in the civilized world. We’re better than that.

      Edit: yes please downvote me for being against cruel and unusual punishment. Show everyone what kind of person you really are. I hope you get wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death so you can see how regressive your barbaric views are first hand.

        downvote me for being against cruel and unusual punishment.

        I dunno about the other 2, but I downvoted you for the xenophobic aside.
