Not long ago, "murderers and child rapists should have to live with what they've done" was considered a perfectly reasonable defense of an abolitionist position on the death penalty. It's interesting to notice the new pushback against "maximum punishment" for even the worst crime https://twitter.com/Vanessa_ABee/status/1218019316454563840 …
I don't have a firm personal position on the death penalty, but I suspect that the recent cultural shift has been toward perceiving *all* crime as a demonstration of "lack of privilege" or systemic injustice, and that's just clearly not always the case
Honestly... I don't know if there are great social benefits to societal rage, but I honestly can't muster a lot of concern about the folks who want to see killers who kill for sexual gratification or money punished in the worst way
I *am* genuinely concerned by people who think neither the death penalty nor life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole should be on the table. Even if a serial child killer *can* be "rehabilitated," exactly how much risk are the most vulnerable families expected to bear?
It never occurred to me that one day I might see blanket-case arguments against permanent incarceration, but I guess this is the fruit that intratribal signal gaming bears. "How woke am I? So woke that not even dead kids can slow *this* woke roll!"
I think that's part of it, but I think there's also (some) who believe that all evil is error. That there is no such thing as an evil person, only horribly confused ones. And from there, retributive justice makes no sense. But your mileage may vary.
People need to meet more criminals.
It's never the case. This recent rhetoric about "social justice" is a system of excuses that politicians and corporations leaders use to try showing that they're sympathetic with constituents and want to hold them harmless of blame in an attempt to win them over It's engineering
I've been bankrupt and living off of fishing/hunting for food. It didn't cause me to steal from others or even apply for benefits because I knew that I was to blame.
