30. I don't want vengeance, I want justice and rehabilitation.
i don't think spending a few months in jail is sufficient punishment for what he did. Torturing dogs, throwing weaker family pets into the ring to watch them getting torn up is beyond sickening and evil. Have you actually read about what he did to those dogs?

"This punishist impulse is a real sick aspect of American culture. Almost as sick as dog-fighting."

What's the alternative? Letting people get away with their crimes?


Our current prison system, run by for-profit companies, is despicable. Even tho' the incarcerated are being punished, they deserve more humane treatment, job training, and therapy. The goals should be changed from punishment to punishment & rehabilitation.
