Easy to have this reaction, and it's an understandable reaction. But, if we allow diversions from humane justice-- when we start waiving the rights of others based on our knee jerk emotional reactions, we suddenly end up locking people away indefinitely, without charges, lopping peoples hands off for theft, and persecuting artists, activists, and journalist for expressing ideas which oppose the status quo. | |

I'm thrilled they survived and got free, although I agree this will probably be far from a happy ending. I can't imagine it's going to be easy for these girls to just get a 9 to 5 and settle down now after 10 years of captivity, rape, and fear. | |

No, I didn't mean it as a joke, or as a form of sarcasm. Just that those little things don't get much consideration from the public.. but it's something they will have to attend. Just crossed my mind is all. They survived this big ordeal and now they have to adjust to the annoying details of the common reality. Was just a thought. | |

I also wonder about Amanda Berry's daughter. She thinks it's normal for mommy to be locked up in a cellar or whatever. She is probably not super excited that she won't see her daddy anymore either, even if he is a piece of shit. | |

There is a reason that we give everyone, even the perpetrators of the most heinous crimes, their day in court. With help from my previous post in this thread, if you can't wrap your head around why , than I can't help you, and I am honestly worried that you can likely legally participate in politics, raise children, and otherwise influence the future of this world. | |

Maybe it's because I don't even want to imagine what those girls went through, but everytime I think about this I just feel bad for the neighbors. If I found out that something like that has been going on in the house next door I'd think back to every little thing that could have been an indication, and how it could have passed by me for a decade. That has to seriously fuck with your head. | |

Anyone else find the idea of 3 naked teens tied up in your basement to be used as your play thing quite appealing? | |

Sure. The only significant difference between those of us who don't do it and those who do is empathy. To normal people, sexual dominance is often very appealing, but causing pain is not; whereas to a sociopath, pain of others is not understood. Then there's sadists who relish in the pain of others |

I'm able to wrap my head as to the reasons why. Because there are a lot of things that need to be proven, details that need to be sorted out in court, yes. That's not in any shape or form wrong. But - I suppose the thing that bothers me is they're going to drag things out, it's going to take a longer period of time than it should to get the ruling. | |

That is a great response. I feel like everyone knows where you're coming from and everyone has the same gut reaction, but we do have that rational side that reminds us what road that gut reaction has lead us down throughout human history. | |

I don't think there's been a single child murderer in the last 10 years where I haven't said something like 'give me 5 minutes alone with that guy'. Not because I'm about to abandon the legal system and go vigilante, and certainly not because I think it's a better answer than a fair trial. I'm pissed at the sick fuck for being a sick fuck and empathising with the victims families at the same time. | |

Also, I probably was harsh on Chelle, and didn't really mean to pick on her, just she happened to make the gut reaction post which coincided with me having the desire to confront it. The post is made by at least one person pretty much every time a horrible thing like this happens. Hell, I'm sure I've made that post in the past. So, I wasn't trying to pick on Chelle, she just ended up in the cross hairs. | |

I think Chelle spoke impulsively from her heart. Wimmenz, they belong in the kitchen. |

There's a distinction to be made between persecution of the innocent and retribution, but that distinction isn't always easily made - reddit and the Boston marathon springs to mind. That's why due process wins and should be applied regardless of the strength of the evidence. | |

I went to a party yesterday and saw one of the larger human beings I have ever seen. I would say 6'6", 300lb/136kg, built, enormous arms, etc. He was wearing a packers shirt and I wouldn't have been surprised if he was an NFL lineman. Actually I have seen many linemen and this guy was more imposing then probably all of them. Anyway it turns out that he is actually a prison guard, and he was assigned to protect Ariel Castro. thought that was kind of interesting.. although I obviously don't have all the details | |
