remorseI've seen it. So?
It just means that more efforts should be put into building better investigation and court systems to eliminate mistakes like this. Death sentences should not be given lightly, it's a serious matter. But I do not mind if there's a possibility of capital punishment in some rare cases (which does not mean that I'm for killing people left and right).
Off-topic, but for those who've seen The Green Mile, do you think that John Coffey is meant to be understood as the Son of God visiting Earth again, this time in the body of a semi-retarded black guy (instead of a Jewish cabinet-maker)? Or is he merely some sort of mysterious saint/healer, but not Jesus Christ himself?
Hmmm interesting. I had not even heard of that film. Well nobody who's read the bible would think that this guy was Jesus. Because that's not how it's supposed to play out according to the book of revelations. If Jesus turned up as a black guy etc it would be a serious deviation from "the plan"! Oh well, I always spoil perfectly good fiction for myself by getting hung up on details like this .
Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…
I've never uttered the word "perfect". Both goals are impossible, but the second one is even impossibl-er, since it's much more global and complex.
Anyway, mistakes've been made and will be made in the future. Will you propose not to incarcerate people at all, because innocents can be sent to prison by mistake? I guess not (if we are talking about real, and not an utopian society). Double standards, eh?![]()
If someone who is incarcerated is later found innocent - you can release him and pay him a compensation.Will you propose not to incarcerate people at all, because innocents can be sent to prison by mistake?
If someone who is executed is later found innocent - you cannot do anything anymore.
And another thing - government and justice system are not perfect in any country.
But I think that anyone who intentionally killed someone should never be let out of prison.
Серп и молот - смерть и голод!
