It is clearly a matter for the courts.

Ok, now it is clear enough even for me. I thought you were proposing to reinstate lynch mobs.

How far it should go? Common sense and some sense of justice. I am against violence and aggression and criminal corporal punishment. I am strongly against capital punishment.

Hmm, looking at the history of the human race i kinda have a real hard time believing that common sense exists on a large scale. But it sure would be nice if it worked.

But here, in Europe, I think we have went a little too far on the lenient side. The worst prisons look like B star hotels. There is no shame.

So no, I wouldn't "hang" them, but a healthy dose of humiliation...yes, I think it would at least make them think twice.

A bit of humility never killed anyone.

Agreed.

And no, i didn't contradict myself. I just stated that the power to sentence people and carry out that sentences should be with the state and not with a lynchmob. And i further said that criminals should be punished harder here than they are now.

In the end i think i'm pretty much of the same opinion as you are. Now that i understood yours


(Now what i am really wondering is how that multiquoting works without having to copy/paste the tags myself )
