Canadian female sex killer to leave prison

[sharrukin]

This is why the Death Penalty is such a good idea. So that individuals such as her will never get the chance to be rehabilitated. Doubtless she will now write a book on her harrowing journey to find herself in prison.

I'm all for the death penalty, but we can't have it until we have cops who won't manufacture evidence and incriminate the innocent just to close the case to make themselves look good. Look how many innocent people we would have executed in the last twenty years because the cops couldn't find the real killer, so they framed an easy target.

Doubtless she will now write a book on her harrowing journey to find herself in prison.

Don't we have a law that forbids criminals from profiting from books about their crimes?

Why wouldn't you want her to be rehabilitated? I can understand arguing that she should be executed on the grounds you think she can't be rehabilitated, but I don't see why you would object to her being turned into a functioning member of society if at all possible.

Punishment. Revenge. Read what this heinous broad did and you will see that rehabilitation is far, far more than she deserves.

So it's a bloodlust thing. That doesn't sound much like justice to me.

I'm also baffled by the idea that rehabilitation is for the criminal's sake-it isn't. It is or society's sake, so that we don't have to waste money keeping them in prison or make killers of ourselves by executing them. I mean, surely to turn a stone-sold murderess into a functional member of society, as opposed to giving in to our baser instincts and slaying her, would be a truly noble goal?

If you fix a software problem, is that for your computer`s sake or yours?

You know how you can cure a mad cow? Find an old penny, blacken it over an open flame, bind it on a cat`s hair and hold it into a river flowing east. In comparison with that behaviour the cow is normal.

Bloodlust? Maybe not. But certainly revenge for the sake of revenge.

To understand our motivations in this matter you would need to understand just how much the crimes perpetrated by her and her husband rocked the whole country. God knows things like this happen, unfortunately, all the time, but for some reason this one was the zenith of all evils to us. It was the straw that broke the camel's back and had thirty million Canadians either screaming with rage or simply crying in frustration.

I'm not sure why this case affected the country so deeply, but it did. I do not doubt for a moment that many millions of Canadians, normally fair people with an inate sense of law and order, of justice and fairplay, would be more than happy if someone ran the bitch over and then backed up and did it again.

I myself, casting aside all exagerations of toughguy talk, cannot guarantee that if I saw her I would not attack her with all my force.

BTW Justice is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. She tortured and killed 3 young girls with her husband, she should be tortured and killed. It's that simple.

So if I break the law by smoking marijuana, do I get to smoke until I die (which would take a very very long time)? Sweet!

I'm not defending this wicked woman, but this is not a good reason for exacting revenge. I can just picture throngs of Canadians with pitch forks and torches meteing out their own justice when their own government played by it's own rules that they have their own say in.

I´d go the middle way and make her a functioning member of a nice prison, maybe she can sort out waste or so, so we don´t need to distinguish between three different kinds of waste at home anymore.
"Just throw everything in there, we have enough criminals to sort it afterwards."

Death penalty is for people like her and her ex-husband. I read that she was very manipulative in prison, now we release that in the society. But of course she is healed...
