Teen convicted of murder for setting girlfriend on fire

so has anyOne Killed this Scumbag yet oR what...

"she was so pretty."

What difference does that make...?

"nobody deserves that"

"people who treat others in this fashion deserve at least 10 times more suffering than what they give out."

Those two statements contradict each other immensely...

Fire most certainly does kill people.

Time for the government to put restrictions on fires.

"I can't believe people perpetrate this sort of violence against another human being."

I can't believe people can't believe people perpetrate this sort of violence against another human being, considering it happens every day.

Yeah. They do. And it's sad that it happens. It was an exclamation. You know like when you flub a presentation or when you get rear ended, and you say "I can't believe I did that!" or "I can't believe that happened!" something of the like?

Not judging without the full context is a good thing. Too many decisions are made by knee jerk reactions.

Still, that doesn't detract from the life altering pain an event like this inflicted on those it touched.

That's an understatement...Why aren't murderer's sentenced to death? Manslaughter is different though, the guilt would be punishment enough.

@buysexual
Because death isn't punishment.
And to be honest, even current jail standards are far from punishment. Quite a lot of people have worse lives than those in prison, some people even PUT themselves in prison on purpose because their live is crappy and prison would actually be a step up from their current conditions.

Funny the hypocrisy in this world. People want to be all "humane" , but the instant anyone near to them is hurt or killed by someone, they'd gladly kill them with their bare hands.

I, as well as probably everyone here, could imagine much worse punishments, such as perpetual beatings till age death, punishingly hard work, painful electrocutions every day, blah blah and so on.
Yes, it might be horrible, but they deserve it for killing.
I'm not even going to begin to care for them.

Obviously they'd spend a set period in regular cells until they are proved without a doubt to be the person who caused the crime.

Say no to the death penalty, say no to cruel and unusual punishment.....

At least the 2nd one is unconstitutional, and the first is just lowering yourself to their level

"Say no to the death penalty, say no to cruel and unusual punishment....."

I wonder if you would be so quick to hold those sentiments if someone set your daughter on fire.

Death is too easy. In death, you feel no pain, loneliness or unhappiness. Just the sheer nothingness of ceasing to exist. Though no one has experienced this sheer nothingness and lived to tell about it, we can assume that sheer nothingness is not as painful as having severe, agonizing burns on 85% of your body.
I say, give the murderer solitary confinement for the rest of his life without the pleasures of food that tastes good, books to read, exercise, games, writing, music, or speaking to other people.

If I were the mother, sister, or friend of this poor woman, I would insist on solitary confinement for her murderer, because it's an extremely long, lonely death that begins in the brain.

Just curious, would you have demanded the same punishment for Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg?

@Hunnter

I can think of some pretty evil things to do to rapists and pedophiles because they deserve eternal suffering.

@ Hunnter & Buysexual:

It's hilarious how you guys think mankind can be divided into "innocent non-killers" and "evil killers".

Anyone can kill. Sometimes it's just a heated fight between two people who take it too far. Sometimes it's one person who believes he or she is doing the right thing, or even carrying out justice. Sometimes it's reciprocated. Sometimes it's intentional killing from a mistaken reason.

People who have killed are not as different from you as you'd like to think.

Obama has indirectly killed many people, many of whom are undisputedly innocent civilians. Does Obama deserve perpetual beatings till death, punishingly hard work, painful electrocutions every day, and otherwise eternal suffering? Or does the fact that he killed those who you deem to be "evil", and innocents only indirectly so, make him good, compared to this guy, who has only one victim, of whom we do not even know.

Oh, and speaking of pedophiles, they have no more choice over who they're attracted to than homosexuals. It's hilarious how homosexual rights is championed as a matter of civil liberties, while pedophiles are universally scorned as scumbag lowlifes who deserve eternal hellfire.

yes he does!!!

Nobody deserves to be set on fire, set the example and live by it. Cruel and unusual punishment is unconstitutional!

i wasn't sure how to word this in my first response, but i'll say it now.

i'm not completely sure how someone could disagree. no one needs to do this to any human being. being in jail or a quick injection will never be as agonizing as being burned alive, then living through it to tell your father you don't want to die!!

he needs a big dose of his own medicine. sure, no one needs to be set on fire, but i agree with that under any other circumstances, not when someone already did it to an innocent human being, that's pure evilness.

what do you propose?

life in solitary confinement with no books or paper ought to be torturous enough.

I propose we don't kill people. I propose we imprison them for life, it costs less also when compared to death row and appeals court. It also minimizes prosecuting innocent individuals.

and helps you sleep a little easier too apparently.
