@lmfao I understand that everyone has the right to live, and that murderers are just like anyone of us. My bothered mind can excuse murderers who've been subjected to trauma/abuse by an individual, and I completely don't mind killing for self defense, if proved in courts. My problems is with sadistic killers, those who just enjoy torturing people, and also with murderers driven by jealousy, hatred and other similar drives. Isn't it unfair for them to continue living their lives after they took what they're enjoying away from others? What I am saying is that sadistic killers should be executed and murderers driven by jealousy or hatred should be killed too if they show no signs of remorse and regret. I mean, they have achieved what they wanted. Right? They have gotten rid of the person they hated and now they get to live albeit only after a small period in prison. It makes no sense for me to see them enjoying their lives after they have hurt others on their way.
And yes, my question is not metaphysical at this point. Bear in mind too that I am open to everyone's point of view. I just want to understand why I am ought to forgive these murderers because most of the people I have encountered seem to be against killing murderers. So my quest is to understand why and not to challenge your opinions.
I am not saying that they are not nice or that they don't have a rich life. I am just saying that what they have committed by ending a rich life of someone else, sadistically or for a silly reason, deserves a proper punishment. Even if it's not killing them, I think they deserve to have most of their rights taken away. They don't deserve to enjoy something they've taken away from others.
I am aware of this, too. But I don't think this is something that might avert me from my stance. Because, in the end, if I am going to forgive murderers from the fear of getting killed myself for committing a murder then it's going to be a lacking perspective filled with fear.
Again, if you think my stance is regressive and lacking in compassion/sympathy then I would love to change it. But I want to see your perspectives first to know better.
