No, she didn't say that. She said that--including as someone who has been grievously wronged--that acting on a desire for revenge doesn't work. And it doesn't. Hate never fixes or solves hatred. Hate that is returned with hate will bring more hate.
How do you know this?
Back when it was more accepted and common to be even brutally harsh on criminals, crime was never stopped, and while the means of torture and execution grew ever more sophisticated and gruesome, people still attempted to assassinate kings and monarchs. But the further we removed ourselves from such silly and petty notions of revenge and being as harsh as we can on criminals, the less criminal and violent significant portions of the world became. At no other point in history has your chances of being violently killed, or killed in an act of war, been lower.
How do I know this, that now he's afraid for his life, By watching his attorney saying on the news that how he's afraid of having his life taken by the death penalty, That now he's afraid of not having a fair trial.
Well it looks like he knew before he did anything, That he would be facing the death penalty and now he's afraid of not having a fair trial, he didn't give those kids no fair trial before he executed them.
By the way if the death penalty is not a deterrent from stopping crimes, Well neither does not having the death penalty is a deterrent from stopping crimes either.
Look at Chicago Illinois, there's no death penalty there, So not having the death penalty is not a deterrent either.
So whether there is a death penalty or not, crimes will go on.
Let's for say, You take a person and put in their face the death penalty or going to prison for their crime, and you say to them, if you do this, now pick which one you want.
How many do you think would pick the death penalty over going to prison for life being able to watch TV and eating and sleeping, going for walks, going to the gym, swimming, going to the prisons Library ?
But if you were to put in their face the death penalty, Bam, this is what your facing with no questions asked.
Hey don't worry if you do a crime, well just send you to prison where we'll feed you and take care of you, You just relax and take it easy. Watching TV and in the gym, and who knows you might can get out of prison on good behavior and then if you want, you can do it again and come back and we'll just take care of you and all you have to do is relax take it easy. And if your good you might get it out for good behavior again.
The only advantage of having the death penalty, is that, That person is not there to get out of prison and do the crime again, Their gone.
Where as they can get out of prison and do the crime again and again and ect-----------?
Look I am not totally for the death penalty nor am I totally against the death penalty.
All I'm saying is that whether you have the death penalty or you don't have the death penalty.
Well not be a deterrent for crimes.
If having no death penalty is a deterrent against crimes, why is there still crimes going on ?
If having the death penalty is a deterrent against crimes, why is there still crimes going
on ?
So either way there's no deterrent against crimes.
So there's advantage of having the death penalty and not having the death penalty.
