@PhilosophyExp - the is a moral dimension to upholding the law, even one you think is wrong
be caught? Would it be morally right to seek perp's capture? (Obv. this issue goes back to Plato's Crito, etc). #ethics #philosophy

@timothygmd Indeed. Hence the Crito reference. -
@PhilosophyExp - you're one smart fellow, following you is worthwhile -
@timothygmd Thx! I'm trying to resist the temptation to retweet that... ;) -
@PhilosophyExp - there would be no point, as they follow you already -
@timothygmd Good point! There is this funny thing where people retweet compliments. I can't bring myself to do it. Not the British way. ;)

@PhilosophyExp the perp harm others although I believe execution is morally reprehensible she must adhere to societal laws and justice. -
@terrance_boxing Thanks. Currently the "score" is running 3:2 against making the perp face the consequences of their action.

@PhilosophyExp Under those circumstances I would not wish the perp to be caught. Despite heinousness of crime, punishment disproportionate. -
@tweetingtechno Thanks. That's my view as well. I think it gets complex in its details, though. -
@PhilosophyExp Yeah, it does. And it calls for VERY careful definitions.

@PhilosophyExp No - as a result of the consequences of their being caught. I'd be weighing up the evil of their getting away vs execution.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
