Wow you just refuse to believe that their is a universally accepted Idea of what is evil and whats not.
I'm educated enough to know that there isn't a universality of evil. It doesn't take a lot of walking through history or different cultures and religions to see that. They all have a primary core of evil things, but not nearly as broad as you'd suggest. Murder is a clear example of a "universal", although not entirely.

Cold blood as opposed to retribution are two totally seperate entities.
Commiting a crime in retribution is still subject to the standards of appropriate applicability. Otherwise the actions of retribution are considered criminal and prosecuted as such. Killing someone in retribution for them stealing your luch isn't acceptible. Killing someone when you're in mortal danger is considered acceptible if there are no other reasonable recourses.

Have you ever studied criminal trajectories? And crime as a profession that evolves over time until caught and properly dealt with?
Yes, way back in the early 80s
Austin316 said:
Its also important to note that anyone over the age of 40 who still commits these crimes is INDEED one of those rare people that no matter what will always be fucked up, they do not FOLLOW in any way the rest of the criminals and the age crime curve presant in society.
This is another case of, those who were caught in these crimes. It leaves out the unknown quantity of those who are not or have not been caught. Statistics suck that way.

Have you ever studied the Ted Bundy case and how at one point in time he was just a porn obsessed man who all of a sudden needed more to fulfill his needs, then more after that.
So, are you suggesting that the extreme case of a Ted Bundy is a case study for ALL sex offenders?
Austin316 said:
Thats how sex offenders work, they are obsessed people, and unless stopped often will keep evolving into worse criminals.
Can you point me to the studies proving this?
Austin316 said:
The only reason that they possess a low rate of reoffence as a whole is because in prison they grew out of the typical crime stage of life, which is mid teens up until the early 30's. Anyone who still has problems after that point in time is HOPELESS and unrehabilitible. ALL crime studies will confirm this.
How does that relate to this? Are you saying that this man has been commiting crimes all this time and this is the first time he's been caught at it and is beyond hope?
Austin316 said:
If you don't think I DO NOT KNOW anything about how these people tick, what to look for and expect, then obviously you know nothing of me.
The more I know of you the less I like about you. Which is neither here nor there. Is what you're saying in this is that from what you've studied that with 100% of the time this occurs, and that the information gathered covers 100% of those who commit these acts either singularily or habitually?
Austin316 said:
The main problem is that liberal thinkers tend to adopt to Suttons philosophies of crime as being learned, and that it IS NOT inherent in an individual to simply be evil.
Show me studies which prove that people are inherently evil.
Austin316 said:
You accuse me of being extreme and using extreme examples but sit there and say that we are going to start cutting up speeders and shoplifters?
I asked you where does it stop? At what point in the legal system can we say, screw it, just kill 'em. Who cares about cruel and unusual punishment. At what line do we throw out civilized notions of punishment fitting to crime and just methodically start killing them off? I've listed the potential crimes comitted by both the man and the mob. You've addressed neither of them.
Austin316 said:
You act as if these kind of sub par criminals who reflect something most members in society do are in the same league of murderers, robbers, rapists, molesters, etc etc etc. If you think that then your logic is severly fucked up.
Again, I'm asking where it stops. Through this whole thread you've been willing to toss out due process of law, and condone the hour long beating and torture of an individual, by a gang of people for masturbating in public. This isn't something that, were he convicted of the crimes and punished to the most severe of sentences, would he be subject to. And you're telling me my logic is fucked up? Heck, you're even willing to advance his crime of masturbating in public to molestng a child.
And we haven't even addressed the possiblity that he could have, although highly unlikely, that he was taking a piss and these people did this and used the other story as an excuse.
