Alright, alright. I may have gotten a bit too far there, but my main point still applies: This is a sign of a lack of empathy/sympathy, which at age 17 he should've already learned by now. The only reason I included that vigilantism part is because I was furious when I first saw the video, and wasn't able to fully control my emotions. Sorry if it was taken in the wrong way.
I mean why *shouldn't* it have the death penalty? Are you planning on smashing a cat any time soon?
True, but a death penalty is a bit much for attempted murder. Especially at his age, even though I said he should've learned empathy by now. The reason I say these two conflicting things is because yes, he is young enough to be unaware of consequences, but he is old enough to show and embrace empathy
This is a great example of why vigilantism is illegal and will never be legal in the loving united states of america.
Hurting a cat = public style execution.
What kind of Dystopian world we live in where this idea is even plausible?
I mean, the US isn't
that much of a dystopia. Plus, like I said, vigilantism is an extremely bad idea, one that I should never do or endorse because I'm not good at controlling emotions in the heat of certain moments.
you were going strong and then you went straight to the bin
no. he does not need a death sentence.
most likely he'll get charged for it and all his gadgets and gizmos will be sold off to pay for them
Yea,
now I agree his punishment should be less severe than the loss of his life, but still severe enough for him to feel a certain amount of emotional pain, like you suggested.
We don't even have the death for committing murder on humans. Except in a few states.
What makes it okay for the death penalty to be reinstated for cat murder?
You just said it was cat murder. I believe any tormenting of any animal to its death should be held accountable as murder, unless if the death was a fast one. There's a difference between swiftly slaughtering livestock for food and having a cat bleed out to death.
Imagine what he would do to humans but yet you're talking about murdering a human.
So imagine what you'd do with humans.
lol
Ah, the old 'twist-your-opponent's-logic-on-them' approach. In this case, just because I may sound insane by what I said doesn't mean that the other person shouldn't be punished.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve punishment.
I'm saying he doesn't deserve to be loving executed.
How are you people like not understanding this?
I understand that you want a milder punishment, you're just not claiming how mild you want it to be. Maybe say what you want to happen to him, and others might understand.
