What crime should have more severe punishment?

Oh true, those are bad and should be punished.

@Charon29 If citizens made the laws, I think we would be in a lot better conditions.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I agree!

True. I think those don't get enough attention to be honest. They aren't always easy to investigate either.

Heh. Yeah.

whoa

I understand what you mean though. I do think someone who has shot another should be shot themselves, but not fatally. It should be done in the arm or in the foot or something like that. I also think there are some cases where a person just needs a lot of counseling or a way out of a bad situation. I'm thinking of gangs in this instance. The person should still be punished, but there needs to be more programs to help people out of those situations.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I agree

I agree with you, but I think they should be more than just hanged. I think they should be tortured in the same way the Jews were during the holocaust. They need to see and feel the same pain that they wished on others.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Thank you for that and I agree they need to be tortured before hanging.

@Hannihar The torture shouldn't be made public, but it should be publicly known. Hopefully this would deter others .

Both crimes are about harming the innocent. They aren't equal by any means but they aren't insignificant from the other either.

@LindaOHio I can't even watch those commercials because I'll start crying.

@ScribbledAdNauseum When I see those Animal Protective League commercials, I want to take every one of those cold dogs and wrap them in a blanket and take them home!

Oh, you mean when women are groped?

@stapllotik Oh yes, those who do this are very sneaky though. They do it where it is not easy to get caught, it's not right.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes. Mostly in crowded places and during travelling in train and bus.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh yeah, of course..but my point is he should have been prosecuted for that statement alone and then we would have been spared having him in office.

@snowy22315 I agree with you. We could have been saved four years! Then again, I think the Access Hollywood tape should have made him illegible. Ineligible? Yeah that word.

I know SDNY is going after him and I think GA is too, but I think he needs to be punished a lot more. Not just for the most recent riot, but for the whole Russia thing and well.. Just, there's so much he shouldn't be allowed to get away with. Nor should his family for their roles in it.

Definitely agree there. I think more needs to be done for abuse on males too though. They are least likely to ever speak up.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I agree

Locking them up and throwing away the key just isn't enough.

Debating the topic of crimes against minorities is always tough. It feels like one of those things you can't win for losing. Either side with you or they're against. Either way it's a topic with lots of strong feelings. Personally I"m somewhere in the middle with supporting.

I agree with you though. If they chopped off the cat's tail then they need to have two fingers chopped off. If they refused to feed them then they need to go hungry too.

Oh yes, I think in some cases even social services / child protective services needs an overhaul / new plans to help keep children safe.

@ScribbledAdNauseum

Long term criminals are called masterminds for a reason. They know how to get away with things or twist things to make them look less than they really are. We also can't forget people greasing the palms of the right people (giving money to get away with things). This makes me think of my great grandfather. He paid off the judge so that he could get away with running a moonshine operation.

Exactly that. It's a vicious cycle. The corrupt are the powerful.

@Bubba90 Absolutely, they enjoy it too. They have no remorse.

@ScribbledAdNauseum they are like blood leeches that suck the blood of their people.

I agree with you there. Those in power needs to be held accountable and should not get away with things or get a slap on the wrist (something minor) just because they are a well known person. None of us want our countries to become hells.
