    I knew a murder victim, I can’t imagine the pain of their killer being free cause he was a good boy. Rehabilitation is great, but you can be a good prisoner and be productive in there. You made the choice to take a life, not just the person you killed but their entire family you devastated. Those victims are punished and victimized over and over when the killer gets to be free and happy, but their relative is in the ground.

    Rehab and release is an excellent thing but not for killers. Give him life, don’t execute him. But rehabilitation shouldn’t mean release

      remorse is real and forgiveness is real.

      if you are reformed, i see no reason why you shouldn’t be free. its that way in other countries and it works.

      yeah, he took something away from someone that can never be given back. he fucked up. he took his horrible mistake and tried to make something positive of it. this isnt black and white. good people can do bad things.

      I’m not a religious person, but I am pretty sure that god / jesus / allah / fsm would welcome this person if they were to exist.
