Is wishing that Eric Rudolph get's killed in prison bad?

[trumad]

I grappled with that for about 3 seconds and decided NO to that question.

[William769]

1. I would call it poetic justice.

[wli]

2. yes, it's still murder even if he's a murderer

[trumad]

7. OK..say a 5 time murderer did the murder.

still bad?

[wli]

25. there's no difference

[LeftNYC]

3. Death Penalty

I dont support the death penalty. Never have and never will, but a good shanking...oops did I say that. Too many episodes of Oz are effecting my brain.

[mondo joe]

4. I don't believe the prison population should decide punishment.

I don't think it makes you bad. But I'd rather wish the jails worked better, and getting killed or raped wasn't a sotr of "bonus punishment", if you will, in US prisons.

[wli]

20. it's plausibly deniable cruel and unusual punishment

[movonne]

5. YES !!! It is to good for him...I think the inmates will take care of him

better than killing him...

[DS1]

6. What bothers me * sometimes * is how it's generally accepted that

once sent to prison, the worst offenders will get taken care of by the prison population. That doesn't sound like a civilized justice system to me, yet, there are some scumbags who don't deserver life.

Color me conflicted :shrug:

[wli]

19. condoning it is a confession of one's own savagery

[DS1]

21. And I'm okay with that

for the select few

[Walt Starr]

8. Rudolph will never be killed in prison

He will be a major deal to those in the Aryan BNrotherhood who will protect him at all costs.

[trumad]

9. But they will fail...

[Walt Starr]

10. I don't know if you've ever met anybody from teh "brotherhood"

but I can tell you, in most prisons they are noit fucked with.

I was a volunteer minister for a prison for a time.

[trumad]

13. Alright Walt...let's bet.

I say in within two years he's dead. Care to bet a drink in the lounge.

[Walt Starr]

26. I'll see your drink

and raise you a bag of popcorn!

:beer: :popcorn:

[trumad]

29. deal

[RaleighNCDUer]

16. True.

To some, he's a hero. And definitely no Jeffrey Dahlmer.

[indepat]

11. I do not wish for such, but should the unthinkable happen, I would

probably blurt out "now ain't that a shame."

[soothsayer]

12. Yep. It's bad.

on edit: human, but not moral

[dmkinsey]

14. hmm, prison

very dangerous place.
Hard to say what might happen

[Bark Bark Bark]

15. No, but apostrophe abuse is

Let him rot in jail for decades, THEN burn in Hell. That's fine by me.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. It's finally happened.....

so much shit is flying around and some is hitting the fan, I find myself saying, "who is Eric Randolph and what did he do"?
I can't keep up........ :wtf:

[paula777]

22. ...

It's Eric Rudolph - he's the guy that bombed the abortion clinics and the Olympics and then hid in the woods for several years

[Hosnon]

18. If you mean 'bad' with reference to a system of absolute

morals then no - I don't believe such a system exists.

'Bad' in the American system?...probably.

And the one that matters to me: It is 'bad' in that I put substantial faith in our legal system and trust its outcomes to a degree. And I believe this outcome is reasonable.

Therefore, all has worked sufficiently enough and I think it is 'bad' to wish extra punishment upon him.

[B Calm]

23. The only thing I wish for this bastard is lots of homosexual sex from

fellow inmates.

[cynatnite]

24. It's an expected reaction

I've felt that way on occasion, but I recognize it for what it is. An emotional reaction to the horrible things he's done.

What bothers me is that this guy justifies every act as being what god wants. He'll never feel an ounce of remorse for his crimes. He'll never even consider that there are better ways than violence to fight what he sees as a wrong.

[Lefty48197]

27. Hell, I kinda wish I were in prison to greet him...

I'd put the fear of God into that "Christian".

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

28. A lot of folks think that what Rudolph did wasn't "bad" either.

In their eyes (and, his), he was righteously murderering murderers that they wished dead.

What would be your justification?
