What part of "No. Fucking. Exceptions." did you not get, Winter?
Two wrongs do not make a right. Imprison a criminal to keep them from harming someone else, yes. Physically maim them, no. To do so is a crime in itself.
If I only "imprisoned" the criminal, then I neglected the victim and banned them -by force- from their right to see the abuser pay for their deeds.
Who said that prison is a fair retribution for crimes such as rape, loot, murder & pillage? I just told you these crimes leave a "permanent stigma".
This will create an inflating bubble of hate & grudge that would end up bursting with vendettas and reflective waves of vengeance.
The rise of populism is my proof. Masses proved that they prefer the populous speech over yours; their motive were clear: they want blind vengeance from the whole world.
Cause? the bubble I just told you about bursted.
It will burst again, believe me.
