RE: ‘Would it go some way to making them think twice before they carried out a robbery if they knew they might end up his hospital? - Blogger Twenty Major’
Yeah it would go some way but never the right way completely because there are always those who want to exact termination style revenge because some bastard came on their turf/attacked them etc Trigger happy revenge and rage… Not worth that moments satisfaction then doing time for it.
NB Rape =‘s a form of murder in itself.. If a victim kills to escape the perp it is understandable. See the problem with perpetrating violence is, one has to live with ones actions for the rest of your life. Only a psychopath would revel in the horror flashbacks post the event of perpetrated violence. Even if it was justified to survive you are left with remnants of horror for life. On the other hand commonsense should dictate how far one takes it all. You do what you have to do to survive. Revenge motivation poisons rationality. What is not addressed is what underpins acts of violence - including rape in violence as rape is primarily about power not the sexual pleasure. All the legal waffle and laws but they never address why all this stuff happens… just make concerned noises, play about with laws and reshaping them and so forth. We live in a world that is violent, legal systems corrupt, law enforcement corrupt. Essentially each man/woman has to forge their own way of survival and decide what justice is.
Robberies, break/enters, =‘s socio-economic factors - poverty, mental illness, addiction and so forth.

RE: ‘No one should be executed regardless of their crime’ Yeah but then again back to the wall we all would kill to escape a psycho… NB we all would. All humans contain the potential to kill/murder. Some just think they are contained til shit knocks on their door and then they find out what they really are. As violent as the next person when their backs to the wall. Aside to Marty but you would need to destroy their lips and eyes and brain as well. The sickness is within their minds. It would be an endless bloodbath. Never mind the cashless society paranoia watch out for the handless one ahaha

Initial reaction is to support a homeowners right to defend themselves+ their home/contents. But the downside is houses with guns under the bed and inquisitive kids don't mix. As for potential rape victims, they should surely be entitled to self defence, mace etc. False accusers should be jailed for life.
