I have no problem with beating the guy to a pulp and leaving him physically and mentally scarred for life (I don't believe in the death penalty), but it should only be done after he has been convicted of a crime.
Did he do it, yes, but that doesn't mean that the process which is a FOUNDATION of this country can be simply tossed to the side.
No one is "crying" for this guy, but we do "cry" for the justice system. If you throw the system away for this guy, it will happen again and again... Eventually, there will be no system at all.
I have no real sympathy for him, but I do have sympathy for the process that we should ALL try to uphold... That's what this country is all about.
After he is tried and convicted, I have no issue with someone beating him to a bloody pulp if that is what the conviction handed down.
People act like prison is so great... Take away the bullshit then... make prison mean something... No TV, No videogames, none of the "comforts"... Make prison what it's supposed to be.
