See, it’s shit like this that makes my blood run cold.
I have two autistic nephews. They only act out when they’ve been mistreated or when they are processing some new kind of information that they don’t understand. Otherwise, they’re just curious little scientists working out the world around them silently.
He took a victim that could never speak against him, report or even understand exactly what was happening and soberly, drawn out over a protracted period beat this poor child until he finally savagely beat the boy to death.
It goes without saying and emotions aside that people like this should be removed via express lane.
"One of the three executed was Yasutaka Fujishiro, 65, who used a hammer and knife to kill his 80-year-old aunt, two cousins and four others in 2004, a justice ministry spokeswoman told AFP.
The other two were 54-year-old Tomoaki Takanezawa, who killed two employees at an arcade game premises in 2003, and his accomplice Mitsunori Onogawa, 44."
The way Japan does it… its pretty inhumane. You have no idea how long you will be on death row. All you know is that on a certain day of the week a chaplain will come visit you. One day when he comes he is going to tell you that it is your day to die.
That just seems like mental torture to me.
Yeah I’m against the death penalty. I’m unconvinced it is the deterent that some think it is. I’m also not convinced that it isn’t more about retribution than it is about justice.
Finally I am convinced that as long as it exists it can be and will be abused.
