I'm sorry if you think I am wrong but how is cold blooded murder the same as revoking someones priviledges ? |
I suggest you go back and read the context in which that was written.
I was replying to Skunk4U's comment "The victims why should we show compasion??????
And my response was "Because we are (or should be) better than him. "
If we show no compassion, how can we consider ourselves to be better than him? If we think that he should have no rights, we are acting as if he is somehow "less important" or "less deserving" than someone else. (As I have mentioned already, that sort of attitude has been responsible for genocidal atrocities elsewhere/ when in this world. )

Do you think he was thinking about the victims parents when he killed these women ?

No, almost certainly not. But the fact is that *WE CAN* think about such things and act upon them is what makes us "better" than him. Should we demean ourselves by stooping to his level as an act of petty "revenge" on the part of society? I don't think so.

And you are entirely welcome to hold any opinion you want. And I am entitled to disagree with it and will.
