Aaaah! Step away for a second and I'm two pages behind!
Short answers for me:
Yes, these people acted like monsters. Killing them won't bring back the babies. These killers, abusers, rapers, etc. are made of the same building blocks we are. They're just put together wrong. THey put themselves as top priority and ignore or enjoy the suffering they cause. This can be corrected. I don't see why that's so hard to accept.
Yes, yes! That's it! That's what I'm saying. For predetermining, there are sociological predispositions, potential genetic predispositions, and even more factors that allow efforts to be focused on the most troubled groups. The educators, parents and other 'people builders' simply need to know what to watch for, types of behavior that indicate the child in question is trapped in their thoughts, depressed, etc. Then they find the right kind of counselor who can train the child through journaling and involvement in personality-strengthening activities, etc. You see what I mean. And it almost already happens, except that it's currently missing the people who might need it most.
These comments are so odd and off-base that I don't think I need to address them, but I'll touch lightly anyway. Yes, a killer is responsible and accountable for what they have done. And they should pay. By paying. Not by dying.
If the mentally ill can't be cured, why does it happen every day?
Are you calling homosexuality a mental illness?!
If people can be animals, where are your slaves?
This sentence is in opposition to everything else you are saying.
How is killing people heroic? And why would killers have rights? They'd have decades fo proving themselves and always be branded as killers. I'm saying 'don't kill them' not 'bow down to them'.
