Not really. It's pathetic, yes. Very pathetic. But it's not a crime against your own species. I mean, death is worse than rape, right? Should everyone who works in a slaughterhouse be jailed for killing animals?
It's far beyond pathetic. It's disturbed and depraved beyond belief. Have another think about what he did for a second, because I feel that's getting lost amongst all the arguing tbh. And your analogy sucks.
How long did Varg get? 21 years? And he almost got let out after what? 12?
So...12 years for killing a human and burning a couple churches, up to 15 for killing a cat. "Punished accordingly?" In the US he would have gotten life without doubt.
Isn't Varg still behind bars? I assumed he did get life. Anyway it's irrelevant.
You don't fucking get it. The point is, you can't punish someone for crimes they didn't commit; you're assuming he'll go on to commit more crimes, so you want to increase the punishment to allow for future offenses. You can't do that.
No, I think he should get the maximum penalty because criminal psychology has come a bit further than that tbh. I've read a lot about serial killers and disturbed nutjobs in my time, and what he did fits the profile of these people exactly. In your world we should wait for him to do this again or do this to a human before taking any real action. I don't agree.
1. Do you know? Maybe he's in a garage band that could in a few years revolutionize heavy metal.
2. The punishment must fit the crime. Ever heard of that? It's called "we can't assume that he'll go on to kill people just because he killed a cat, so we can only punish him for killing the cat"
Yes, the punishment should definitely fit the crime. That's why we shouldn't just punish him for killing a cat. We should punish him because of way he did it.
