Re: Consequences & Punishment (was: 'Graffiti Teen' Hit By Subway Train)

the entire point of criminal charges is to prevent crime in general, not to satisfy people's bloodlust and mindless desire for vengeance

Nothing uncivilized about vengeance. Crime is what's uncivilized.

He lost a leg, he's not going to do it again

False assumption. He might be as hard-headed as yerself.

Therefore, any criminal proceedings against him are unnecessary, cruel, and a waste of money and effort on top of that

False conclusion. Might be just what the doctor ordered, after the prosthesis.
