Canada Proposes Life Sentences For Free Speech Crimes
Justin Trudeau is a store of evil. He should be put in jail.
Sure, let some people rot in jail, but death doesn’t scare a lot of people, and can actually make them commit worse crimes if they know they’ll be caught. Besides, even Catherine the Great tried to get rid of it, and that was in the 1800s.

Worthless, degenerate scumbags who murder people, in attacking the right of life of others, have renounced their own, and thus deserve the full punishment of the law.

Functionally speaking, it’s not a great idea. Morally, it’s a grey area, but I’d let those criminals stay in prison, a lower quality prison, sure, but someone murdering someone else does not excuse us committing it in turn. An eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind, and it does nothing for justice, the sanctity of life, or for the families of those murdered themselves. The best way to deal with crime is to increase the certainty of punishment, not the severity. If everyone knew they’d get caught, and be sentenced to prison, then doing the crime sounds a lot… Read more

This whole notion that you can't prevent crime by severely punishing it is stupid. In fact, the more severe the punishment, the less of that crime you'll have. Death Penalty is ultimate punishment.

Death penalty is an attempt of a deterrent, and a rather weak one at that. Of the few countries where it works, Singapore is the main example, a nation that has sacrificed much of its liberties and rights to lower crime using harsh capital punishment. At the same time, nations like Denmark, Iceland, and Canada have lower crime levels than most others on earth, yet all 3 have no death penalty to speak of. Most nations on earth have rid themselves of it, and their crime rates are fine. You can try to fix it with severe penalties, but you have to expand government power dramatically higher to do so. That’s been the case with Singapore, and remains the case with a lot of countries. Treating the cause of the crime is a FAR better option than punishing the action far worse than usual.

So you're simultaneously crying out about the alleged injustice of punishing to any worthy degree degenerate murderous scumbags who kill innocent people while at the same time proclaiming as a positive good the industrialised butchery of one million innocent unborn children per year without realising the absurd contradiction? For me, it's quite the opposite scenario: I want to put to justice the murderous scumbags who kill innocent people while protecting with the full power of the law millions of innocent human beings from massacre. In both instances my goal is to protect innocent… Read more
