When something like this happens to you- let me know, and come back to me and define "justice" again.
Yeah. You're right, I've never been gangraped and forced to fellate my own son. I am assuming you also haven't experienced this. Neither of us have experienced that specific crime, both of us are capable of imagining how we may respond/feel/suffer or seek vengeance. I am sure, if I suffered that, I'd personally want to kill them. Which is why their sentence/punishment, shouldn't be up to me, but should be up to an objective legal system. That way, no possibility of delivering vengeance via the justice system.

Either the judicial system is there to ensure justice, or it's there to provide vengeance. Individual victims may seek vengeance, but society, I believe, should provide justice.

The victim and justice system don't don't have to disagree, however.

Where does prevention come in or rehabilitation??? I don't think that putting these kids in jail for any period of time is "punishment." They probably have many friends and family members there already anyway - and when they get out they just wear the fact that they were in as a badge of honor.

As for rehab - There is no rehabbing anyone who does something like this - they should simply be shot, injected or whatever - Instead of spending OUR money on keeping them alive, lets put it toward the children that are savable. The judicial system is full of people who are NEVER coming out and we are all paying for them - dearly I might add.

Just think of the billions we spend to keep those evil pot smokers locked up.
