Once again apples to oranges, refrain from such comparisons. Any form of bullying that results in serious physical damage that is possibly fatal or life ending can be punished by death in my opinion. Dont propose me anything, answer the question.
Violence is the sense that it results in serious physical injuries such as broken facial or hand bones etc. Government sanctioned murder is the way forward in some instances because that is the established law of the jurisdictions and acts as a deterrent to other aspiring rapists. It says to the future generations don't rape a woman. Im against sending people to jail for smoking marijuana and doing hard drugs which sends alot of minorities blacks in particular in the usa to jail, but i am not opposed to severe punishment for rapists. Generally i would lean no, but based on the brutality i might agree with it. If you beat someone to death and they become cripple, you will be charged with attempted murder and may never see outside the prison walls till you die or old age,but yes in such instance i support the death penalty. I despise these thugs who think they can bully people with intimidation because they are physically stronger. Rape may even be worse than murder as you leave the woman in an emotional vegetative state for the rest of her life. Scarred for life.
You say that it is the way forward because it is the law? Like mandatory minimums and the harsh laws for crack cocaine versus powdered cocaine? Just because it is the law does not mean that it is just. We must follow the law, but we can strive to change them.
In my country, if you serve a life sentence you will get out on parole, on average, after 15-16 years. I think that is long enough, but there are some who do not get out because they have not been rehabilitated. I think that is far more just.
People change, they regret and they repent. A justice system should have room for that. That is the essence of justice to me. A life sentence here is something you only get for premeditated murder. Death is final, attempted murder, or rape, does not compare.
Emotionally vegetative state? People with terrible mental scars get up every morning and go to work, especially in the US. All people are different, but I do not believe that most women do not recover to some degree. Certainly there are scars, things that never go away, yet just as the veteran with PTSD bites his tongue on the 4th of July but still functions, so do I believe that victims of all sorts of assault, be it sexual or physical, recover to some degree. Murder is final, the rest we can - and should - help.
I am not sure you really know how the laws or such punishments work at least in common law.
Well in that case, yes you should be at least charged for attempted murder. And if it can be established that you had every intention to inflict such severe injuries more so if it was just to prove how manly you are, at least you yourself don't deserve to ask that question. Whether you get a death penalty or just a jail.
He might be European. Most of us have civil law.
I don't deserve to ask that question? That sounds vindictive and revenge has no place in criminal law.
