In short, three teens brutally captured, tortured and murdered 21 people. They recorded it, and did it as a hobby. The video's have just surfaced on the internet of one of their killings involving a hammer and screwdriver. I warn you, the video is without a doubt the worst thing I have ever witnessed on the internet. Take caution before looking for it.

Was life sentence a fair judgment? Discuss.

Oh God, this video is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, it's sick. A life sentence seems warranted.

It's time like this that make me believe that our idea of law is flawed. Where is the justice in a life sentence? I can't see it.

Permanent loss of freedom is generally seen as something you don't want. Hobbling the killers and forcing them into some sort of blood sport would be more satisfying but at the same time it could romanticize them.

I don't believe in an eye for an eye (yikes). They have obvious a severe disregard for other humans and should not be exposed to society under any circumstances, I find it wrong however to take their life I don't think it should be in the power of the system to kill anyone.

No, they should be sent to medical research labs so we can save a few innocent rats who's lives are worth more than theirs.

I still just can't find the justice in that. They knew that it would happen and were willing to be taken from society. It's not just.

That's the real question. Other then death and imprisonment... What else is there really to do? What is the in between? There must be something harsher then imprisonment but less then death.

I probably wont watch this video, but I also don't believe in taking another humans life.

Stickem in a cell and let them be stuck in their sick and twisted mind till they take their last breath.

No, there must be something else. Really.

I just don't find sticking them in a cell all that fair to the 21 families of the victims.

you know ive always interpreted the general meaning behind prison/social discipline as a means to prevent unsavory members of society from disrupting the lives of other people weither it be stealing or hurting or injuring or any other form of disturbing the peace. executing people is a solution for those who are too sick to be educated whereas imprisonment is a method of reeducating offenders whilst keeping them away from the public.

that being the case i think the point of social discipline isnt to discipline a criminal simply for the sake of doing so, rather every punishment is performed with the welfare of the public in mind. so if thats true than whats the big deal about a life sentence or death sentence? either way theyre no longer a threat to the public so the powers that be are doing their job, no?

Yeah, but I would have prefer them in the gas chamber or lethal injection.

These videos are as evil as the Nazi beheading guy.

That's not a different option, that's just a different way at arriving at one of the options.

Possibly.

I just believe that there needs to be some sort of furthered discipline added to the life sentence. Not torture, but something.

I share that POV mostly, I am also not a big fan of the "punishment" angle of the legal system.

Robtard
Considering they're young and will spend a large portion of their lives being anal-puppets, the life sentence seems alright.

But if the Ukraine tortured and killed them, I'd LoL.

Vinny just wants some justice. Its like he's batman. There's really nothing much else we can do.

I didn't watch the video, but I can sympathize with Vinny's POV on letting these clowns live, after what they did and why they did.

Batman's gay too, but Batman doesn't kill.

I cannnot watch this at work, obviously. But, I will when I get home.


As for the topic, this is an example of 100% guilt. There's no reason AT ALL to keep them alive and drain money out of the system. As soon as the verdict was passed down, they should have been marched into execution room and gotten a lethal injection. There's no reason to waste money on the system for a death sentence. (Cause a life sentence is a death sentence.)

It's not quite the same thing. Like I said I personally have a problem with the system having this much direct power to just kill someone.

Are you sure you want to watch it? I don't, as I've seen similar already and this shit stays in your mind. Like the video of the Taliban putting boot to head and beheading a Soviet soldier with a knife, slowly.

It's to lets all the pansy liberal-minded feel good about themselves. So it serves that purpose, even on a without-a-doubt case like this.

Autokrat
You know, I dare say that I don't think I've ever seen anything as horrific. It was weird though, the violence itself didn't bother me, it was the fact that the creatures took entertainment out of it that did.

I say the creatures responsible should be donated to science as living test subjects.

Kid's got a point. Killing them or locking them up forever won't help society, it'll just keep it safe(which is good).

Using them as test subjects until they die of natural or unnatural causes could be a benefit to society while still staying true to the 'keeping society safe' aspect. It's like a win-win; who doesn't like that?

I'm more bothered by seeing that stuff with animals and children.

Definitely makes me upset to see an adult caught on camera, abusing a child, or an animal. It's the complete helplessness and innocence that makes me a tad angry.

But none of it ever makes me feel sick.

There's this website called machovideo that basically has all this stuff on it.



Example: there's was this one video on there where this middle aged couple was going through a nasty divorce and the wife had enough of it so the wife walked in one day at his store and unloaded 4 rounds into the husband, then walked around the other side of his desk and popped a couple of caps in his head and unloaded the rest into his body. He was DEFINITELY dead and what she did was literally, overkill. I laughed. sad

I'm not sure what "it" refers to here. The prison time or the killing of the obviously 100% for sure mass murderers?

Indeed. I've stated this before. Why not use their forfeit lives to save many others? We could move some treatments (drugs) into phase II that we are unsure of. Help speed some stuff up.

jinXed by JaNx
They should be executed. I don't understand why they haven't been executed. I'm at a complete loss. If ever there were a time where someone deserves to be executed this is it. twenty one RANDOM murders. I'll say that again..,twenty one RANDOM murders committed over a long period of time. Not only did these people murder random people while having no apparent motive, they also tortured them.


No one can justify any execution after the sentencing of this case. Unless there is no death penalty there is no reason why these kids shouldn't have been murdered as punishment.

Your: "There's no reason to waste money". Money wasted is to make people feel good about themselves.

Depends who you ask. But if you ask me, that stance is silly. Some states have the death penalty, so we can kill a murderer, but it's wrong to cause them some pain? Nonsense.

The thing about life in prison is that there's no guarentee it will be for life. Often lifers are released because they're "old and no longer considered a threat to society". In the end, all that really means is they didn't pay for what they did. I disagree with Bardock on this one...I think not only does society have the right, it has the duty to execute criminals like this. I am opposed to the death penalty where there's only circumstantial evidence but that isn't the case here.

Despite them being old and unable to harm anyone... they spent their whole entire life in prison (compared to what little they have left)

Is there really a rule to say you're too old for prison? I mean... they'll probably have to be hospitalized by saying they're "too old" and not nessicarilty free, right?

I understand your point, I just personally don't think that it is right for "us" as a society to take anyone's life, since there are other options. I do think that criminals can be rehabilitated, too, or at least be useful to society while in prison.

For the most part...yes. Society is our country, it's laws, customs, and traditions. Funny how it's ok to kill during war, but never any other time. In my opinion the only reason to possibly be opposed to capital punishment is you might execute the wrong person, which is why I'm in favor only in the case of hard physical evidence. Bardocks argument is "it shouldn't be in the power of the system to kill someone" but didn't the killers kill someone? Being able to do that and having society not being able to exact that as punishment makes the killer above the "system"

Mairuzu
Not all of society is for the war.

Not a big fan of war either. But potentially I think it is also right to kill in acute self defense.

I agree some criminals can and are rehabilitated but they are the minority. For the most part prison only hardens and makes "better criminals" (for want of a better term) of the offenders.

Another part of prison is to be punished for what you did. I'd say that in the case of violent criminals it's more important for them to be punished than to be rehabilitated because they commited a violent act against someone else. I definitly think more leeway should be given to offenders involving non violent crimes.

I defer to Gandalf regarding the ethics of capital punishment:

"Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

That's all well and good until someone goes on a murder spree whilst having no moral response, especially when they get off on random and torturous killing.

If someone claims that using them as test subjects would be cruel and unusual. Then consider that beating someone with a hammer is cruel and unusual. Using someone who beats people with a hammer as a research subject is productively salvaging a bad situation.

Saw the vid. Buncha little shits.


I think that torture and mutilation would be appropriate in this instance.



And what was that yellow thing that dude was smacking the old man's head with at the beginning of the vid?

That apparently has two problems a) they are pigs and b) they are in narcosis. Those guys would make much better test subjects as far as I can tell.
