Life term just doesn't seem sufficient punishment for poor Finley's parents.
I wont link the story, I struggled reading it myself.
There have been multiple discussions on here in the past RE Capital Punishment, and I'm not sure how I feel about it in general. But in cases such as this it really doesn't feel like a whole life (28 years so likely to get out), is sufficient. |  |

Worth pointing out, that these are the minimum they will serve. I'm pretty chill with them spending at least 28 years checking their meals for broken glass, tbh. |  |

Full life sentences for the worst crimes is right.
Capital punishment is a waste of money and time given all the appeals. Save it for the brutal regimes in China, Iran, Saudi and Texas. |  | | |

Yup. They'll soon be wishing they were sentenced to death. |  |

'Please can X be taken down...'
to spend at least the next 27/28 years of their life living in a prison.
I wonder how many of those who've not felt or displayed any remorse until this point do so at this moment and suddenly really, really regret their actions? [Post edited 26 May 2023 15:58]

So what do you want....punishment, revenge or a deterrent ?
It could be argued that anyone capable of such acts is 'not right in the head'. Unfortunately we are all capable of varied behaviour, circumstances determining.
So what stops us all doing something similar ? Whatever it is, it is missing in people like this, which asks the question of how culpable are they ? Whatever it is, society deems they are not suitable to 'be at large'
Often that is the best that can be done.
And a whole of life sentence can be very destructive to the person who is incarcerated, and those looking after them. The thought being, that with a possibility of release, there is a chance to see 'what makes' them tick' take that away and they have nothing to lose.
The bottom line is there is no simple solution. We have to accept that for every 'heroic' action, there will be the ones in the OP.
And among the many reasons why capital punishment should be opposed is the one I was told during my law course. Imagine the worst politician you know being given that power. | | | |

I think it is.
Our prison system doesn't do enough for society when it comes to most criminals because it is another institution underfunded and politically fought over. Recidivism is far too high, rehabilitation is stunted by this.
The Norwegian model based on the "neighbour principle" and similar in the Netherlands seem far better.
However, ironically it is probably perfect for people like this. People who will only see the world through their own needs and excusing their own misdeeds or rationalising them. Living in a hostile environment, where dehumanisation thrives as a byproduct of the system being seen to be punitive.
Letting them rot there with no hope of release is probably the best punishment possible. Especially as every new prisoner might be the one to play vigilante. Living with that sort of paranoia and pressure is far nastier than a bullet or a rope. |  |
