    It’s not about knowledge of what exactly was the crime. What you didn’t get was that when I said death penalties were never the answer, I actually meant it. Not ‘death penalties are too bad for this crime, but if it’s bad enough, they’re the answer’. Death penalties are never the answer, regardless of how heinous the crime. If the person can’t be rehabilitated, they should be separated from society so they’re not a danger, but your comment is all about revenge, paying these people back, which I already said should not be the goal.

      Well yes. I think death penalty is about providing justice to the victim and scaring potential rapists. If they know they will be “safe” after committing the crime, trust me they will do it, and that’s why they are doing it to begin with in India.

      I don’t care about your goals. The goal is to stop potential rapists, not provide them a safe haven. What a weird take. Idk where you are from but we don’t call prison time as confinement or isolation. It’s called punishment in the constitution, so yes revenge is the goal.

        I’m not from the Nordic countries, which are the best at ‘rehabilitation, not revenge’, though I’d like to be, I’m glad I’m not from somewhere as bad as America either.
