so disgusted reading this story today. this man got a fully suspended sentence for pleading guilty (when he initially lied to the cops and said she attacked him, and only admitted it when CCTV footage was produced), and because the judge wants to save his precious army career while the victim has lost her job due to her injuries. he also bragged about beating her on snapchat and the reason he did it is because she asked him to stop calling people slurs. i hate it here

      Mob justice isn't a good idea, either. The Cultural Revolution is widely regarded as a bad time.

        Yeah the more successful communist revolutions generally at least tried to put people on public trial, even if it was just for show I say it's a good thing. Lenin was actually angry that the Romanov's died the way they did. Vigilantism isn't a good thing.

      The solution to [punishment] being full of corruption and targeting the wrong people is totally [more severe punishment] without fixing the other measures!

      Killing in retribution for punching is obviously disproportionate. Should we execute Kyle Hayes too?

      Prisons are a colonial introduction, as is capital punishment.
