This.
I'm not sure if its a result of each new generation being successively dumber than the previous but I'm starting to get concerned about a large mindset of very many people that seems to think it's ok and should be the norm for someone to keep on paying for their crimes ad infinitum. It's something I'm seeing a lot of in the news. If this is the way we're going, we might as well just dismantle the entire justice system and prisons and just let the vigilantes do their thing and hope they get it right. Indeed it would probably be kinder to just shoot convicted people in the head, rather than have them ostracised and tortured by society for the rest of their lives.
