Hmm put the crackpipe down.
If this kid killed your father out of boredom, do you think he should be a free man because he has the potential to do some work for society?
Of course.
As soon as he is fit to get back to society, he should.
At the same time, I think I have the right to hate him, and wish him to be killed. That's the prerogative of the victims and the victim's relatives. The rational thing for society to do is to offer support to me, to get over that trauma.
That will make sure those victimized becomes productive units again.
But sure, as I stated, I will wish death, cruelty and punishment upon him. But I have no right to that.
Only emotional wussies think so IMO.
