Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

These people are monsters indeed.

However, if you want to be part of civil society, you have to do things right. These asswipes deserve a judge and jury too and will then spend probably the rest of their lives in jail.

You can't have it both ways.

Don't waste taxpayers money, resources on them. They simply don't deserve to live for "rest of their lives in jail"

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Of you want to love in a civilized society you don't want to do that. Let them sit in jail for the rest of their lives that's fine.

Tortured for the rest of their life, not just sitting in a shitty room.

Sitting in a shitty room and not being able to go outside is torture enough for most. Remember how we all went a bit wonky in the head during lockdown? Like that, but for a lifetime.

Lockdown was nothing for me.

It was normal, no change.

Good for you! I used to live in a flatshare, so I had a bigger bubble than most and that helped

Unfortunately a judge and jury leaves wiggle room for bribes to be paid and rich guilty people to be let free.

Gelding is the answer and women should be the ones doing the gelding.

So in other words, you don't want s civil society, you want anarchy with vendettas and vigilantes because there is no way that could go wrong. There is no way that anyone would abuse that, and no way that anyone innocent would become victim of your system, right? RIGHT?

A civil society doesn't let women be gang raped, cooked alive then chopped into pieces.

I'm suggesting that maybe they need gangs of women doling out the same kind of attacks on the men that roam around attacking women. It might make men think twice about attacks.

This is not a good thing to do but in the face of a society that seems to care very little about justice for women, it doesn't really seem crazy.

Random acts of violence aren't prevented by more random acts of violence. All it does is increasingly normalise it.
