before killing himself

just to destroy

because he lost a case

Again, these are Other Problems

That should be addressed on their own

true

Also, if you change the prison system to something like Norway's you'll have even less problems with people trying to escape

idk people should be tortured if the crime is heinous enough (ok this part is saracasm)

i mean a system based off recovery does make sense

i think the problem here lies not with the punishment itself

but with people who want that criminal to pay

Honestly the problem lies with why the person did what they did, and the worse the crime they do the more we should be trying to figure out why so we can make sure it doesn't happen again

sometimes theres nothing

which is horifying

Alternatively, that's the easy answer we tell ourselves to try and stave off the idea that we're all one sufficiently and specifically bad day away from doing terrible things

And we just haven't found out the real reason because people are hard to figure out

the reason i say its impossible is because were all one bad day away because it could be ANYONE

your mom your brother your neighbor your cousin a stranger

you get my point

... actually, you know what, I disagree with what I just said. Because I just remembered that humans are really bad at realizing that problems build over time

You don't realize how stressed you are till you are yelling, after all

yes but what about those who do it for fun

people are multiple entities

who do things for multiple reasons

I didn't say this was easy

i want zero percent crime rate

I'm saying its inherently worth it

Punishment doesn't work, psychology has worked when we have applied it after studying what we need to.

Sociology works too

We might find out in the search that its impossible to get a 0% crime rate, but if we do find that out we can find out what the next best thing is

punishment makes us feel good

it makes us get to have justice

What is justice but making sure a crime won't be committed again?

sometimes justice is mob rule and vengeance ya know why police frame people

vengence

they see they did something bad so they frame them for something else

people inheriently go for vengence

because to us it seems correct to rape the rapist or kill the killer

were a scary species

I agree we're a scary species. I agree we desire vengeance on an almost primal level. I disagree that its something we should allow, or even that we should want it.

What is vengeance but a world full of blind people
