Judge David Selwood today sentenced 3 writers for the magazine "Green Anarchist" to 3 years imprisonment each for their articles in the magazine which he concluded incited others to break the law. (...) Another judge who has richly earned the death penalty.
The death penalty is completely inappropriate for this kind of crime. It should be reserved for the most serious of criminal actions, the most egregious murders, terrorism, genocide.
No, this judge is guilty of false imprisonment, if I kidnapped you and falsely imprisoned you for 3 years in a 6x9 cell where you would live with another inmate, and prison officers who may turn a blind eye when you were raped by the other prisoners, I should be expecting to die for my crimes.
Calling for the death penalty for crimes which do not themselves involve killing only cheapens life. Before long you too will support shooting graffiti vandals and nuking London.
No, I support flogging of graffiti vandals (killing for repeat offenders), and assasinations as a means of removing government criminals, nuking is too indiscriminate.
