White supremacist executed for Texas dragging

You look familiar stranger.

So your saying to appease the "whining" victim, we should disregard the accuser of his due process?

No, I'm saying that you can disagree with her without resorting to denigrating and insulting her. It's called common decency.

BTW
I don't like newbies coming here attacking my fellow poly posters. If anybody is going to attack them, it will be me!

Are you really calling 'newbie' because you joined in 99 and me in 02?

[notyoueither]

Yes, you're a heartless dick.

The discussion is about what role victims and their needs should play in the justice system.

This woman's feelings about an accused/convicted person making use of the legal protections available to him is not something that should be taken into account.

And yes, no matter how much sympathy one may feel for her and her husband, she is whining.

This is correct.

All I'm saying is that this is a woman who has suffered a horrible traumatic event in her life, and the guy in question doesn't seem to be appealing his guilt, just the punishment. Under those circumstances I think it's extremely harsh and yes heartless to call her a whiner.

I knew it! who are you?

I knew it! who are you?

I'm just me.

Whether an accused is appealing his guilt or sentence is not relevant.

That you make the distinction in a disussion about the death penalty strikes me as a bit odd.

It is when you're talking about the reactions of the relatives. There's a difference between someone shouting about a person who might be innocent, and when they're shouting because someone admits they're guilty but just wants a lower sentence. Neither should affect the courts decision, but one is a lot more understandable than the other.

We weren't talking about a death penalty case here though. Also I never said her opinion should have influence on the actual judgement.

[notyoueither]

Dangerous offender status is potentially the rest of your natural life in prison. The man is ~40 years old.

There isn't a more severe sentence in Canada.

[kentonio]

Does that seem unfair for beating someone into a vegetative state? How is that any different to murder really?

[notyoueither]

I have to agree. Only people with some wealth should be able to avail themselves of the legal protections within our justice system.

[kentonio]

I already said I didn't have an issue with him appealing. I also don't have an issue however with her feeling pissed about it.

I think newbies should attack your fellow poly posters to show that they are capable of fitting in by doing what all poly posters do to all poly posters all of the time.
