Not sure. I can't figure out what @ScottTalling means. How would it be practically applied?

In case of my eg re drink driving (earlier tweet), punishment for DD+killing would reduce & for DD alone increase.
-
Sounds like punishing a group for sins of another. Would murder be reduced and manslaughter increased?
@HPluckrose -
More like attempted murder and murder, I think. Talking abt intentions.
-
If someone shot 6 times into a crowd killing no-one, same sentence as someone who'd done same & killed 6 ppl?
-
Ah, ok. I think I got it. Still not sure tho. I don't like the idea of punishing for something that didn't happen.
-
Me neither. Not sure how to justify this reasonably if we punish actions tho. Scott sees it as revenge.
-
Isn't punishment always a form of revenge? Caught breaking rules, society exacts vengeance.

Logic trumping intuition? For me punishment is to deter/protect public/reform not for revenge. These best applied to action.
-
I don't know. Not given enough thought. That's why I asked what people think. See if it is just intuition or can be justified
-
I know my view atypical, as many would say law must deliver justice (revenge?) too (or even primarily). Thx for follow btw :)
