To whom? Sheeple? Who gives a fuck what sheeple think, they are just Soylent Green on the hoof.mistermack wrote:You can always tell when Seth is trying to talk himself out of something stupid he wrote.
He starts saying ''sheeple'' every other sentence.
Seth, it's still stoopid, no matter how many times you say sheeple. In fact, it just makes you look worse.
Now THAT'S an effective deterrent....not.As far as life sentences go, you won't get many people supporting the concept over here. It's a fucking joke, calling it a life sentence. It has hardly any meaning.
The only thing that is related to life, is that when you get out on parole from a life sentence, you're never back to square one. The sentence can be kicked back in, if you transgress.
Oh horseshit. If he can walk away from a minimum security facility after being sentenced to 13 life sentences I guarantee you he'll be out again before you know it and he'll be whacking people on the head again. Maybe next time somebody will serve him a dose of what he needs.That's what I meant when I said that his life element will kick back in. He's transgressed, and even if he's innocent of the bank job, his life sentence will re-commence and he'll have to jump through a lot of hoops, to ever see the outside again.
No shit.But it's still bollocks. There's nothing wrong with a sentence of that sort, but don't call it a life sentence. It's not.
They do have a variant, where the recommendation is a whole of life in prison. That's rare and contentious. It shouldn't be.
That's what's great about the death penalty. No repeat offenders, ever.I think the US does handle it better. In SOME cases.
But I have a love for the FBI Files tv program. And I've seen cases where people have been hunted down for something awful, and it turns out they had killed previously, and done about four years.
The one guy I'm thinking of was hunted living rough in the woods down south for a year or more. Can't remember the name.
I made no such claim and I agree with you. The current flap is a direct result of the panty-waist fuckwits in Europe who refuse to sell the long-used and completely effective drugs used for lethal injections, so states have been winging it, resulting in a 45 minute debacle where the prisoner eventually died of a heart attack. Now given his crime, which included burying a young woman alive, I don't mind him suffering at all, but it upsets the sheeple so we need to change the way we do things and take a page from China's criminal justice playbook.But it's a fallacy to claim that the US always puts people away for life, for murder. They don't.
It's pretty haphazard. Especially with the moronic plea-bargaining that goes on.
Once convicted, the convict gets one, and only one appeal, and if it's turned down or he loses his appeal, he's executed within 10 minutes of the determination in the basement of the courthouse by a bullet in the back of the head.
