Do you consider the following to user groups at RevLeft to be reactionary?
Death Sentance For Child Abuse (http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=614)
SHOOT THEM IN THE BALLS (http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=638)
As heinous as the crimes may be I don't think the death penalty or the summary justice by vigilantes is really a solid leftist response.
Even in the case of the first group on the list, yeah, sure my "gut" reaction is also one of rage and disgust and I would find it hard to restrain my emotions, yet- counting to ten and thinking about it, I concede that the death penalty is not an answer.
The death penalty does not stop crime from happening.
Vigilante mobs dealing out street justice is not part of civilised society.
No matter how strongly we might feel against the perpetrators, it doesn't make these actions right, it doesn't put right what they did and it won't stop the same things from happening again.
Please discuss:
