VIOLENCE

What's the deal? Why is America so up in arms about it?

I find the idea of flogging criminals in public settings to be a satisfying punishment for certain crimes.

In a related chain of though, I think the problem with gun crimes is not the 2nd amendment. It's not that we need more strict gun control laws, we simply need more strict gun CRIME laws. DON'T punish ALL gun owners universally, that is absolutely the WORST idea ever. PUNISH THE FUCKING CRIMINALS. If you use a gun to mug someone, that is intent to kill and you should be charged with murder. Murder charges should involve public floggings of a very intense nature. They should also involve imprisonment for a long time (longer than what we've got). The problem with society is that we feel the need to justify punishment with the idea that criminals can be re-habilitated. To tell you the truth, prison is the worst idea created by man if you intend to turn criminals into good people. But I shall opine that even if such a criminal turns their back on crime, they still should pay full price for what they did. If they've truly been rehabilitated, they should agree with the punishment they've been given and gladly accept it.

Death penalty. No matter how you put it, I think some people out there deserve to die. The most convincing argument I've heard against death penalty is that some people deserve worse than death. My problem with that is I think there is no penalty that can lesson what atrocities the criminal had committed to deserve capital punishment. That is to say, even though they deserve worse than death, there isn't anything on Earth that can take back the heinous crime they committed. I'd rather have them simply put to death and forgotten about here, while they pay the ultimate price in the afterlife.

To sum it up:
1) bring back floggings
2) Stop punishing gun owners, start punishing gun crimes
3) Kill the vile filth that don't deserve to live.
