re: #254 Obdicut

What the holy fuck?

No, I’m not an anarchist. How on earth do you get this idea?

I don’t find that punishment is an aspect of legal justice. To the extent that it might be, I don’t think our current prison system functions in any effective way as punishment.

Now, why on earth are you asking if I’m an anarchist? Because I emphasize people committing fewer crimes rather than punishing them for the crimes they commit? How does that connect to anarchy?

Not having a justice system which punishes violent criminals (you didn’t really make any kind of distinction so I’m assuming you’re including violent criminals) would result in anarchy, because eventually the ones you have “rehabilitated” would be set free and they would continue to commit heinous crimes. You’d have a lot of dangerous people running around. I’m sorry if you don’t believe that, but some people are sick, truly sick and cannot be made unsick.

Now, I’m done Obi. We’re not going to agree so I’d rather drop it.
