just like our driver, he wanted to suicide. but he also wanted to let the world know he excisted for one last time... So he planned to drive his tiny swift into the big strong convertable bus. not so smart :roll: but he took his life, and the life of 6 others, making the total death count now on 7. he died from the impact of the crash and had no alcohol in his blood. acording to the family he wasn't mentally disorderd. a lot of world leaders have sent letters and messages to queen Beatrix with words of support.
But that is just a small amount if you look at the ones who were judged guilty and really are guilty. Our right system isn't perfect, It could mistakes either like we all do. But I say the system has to be adjusted towards the majority of the cases and not towards the minority.
Instead of writing a letter to the family of the victims .. Like the dynasty needs support, they didn't even see the accident. They were only shocked due to the commotion at the time .. The man took his life owing to them and now they are the ones who get support? Pathetic.. Ok, what the culprit did was wrong, but i don't think it was his intention to kill those others.. I guess it was more an act of desparacy.. It's quite clear that he wanted to commit suicide, but more in a Guy Fawkes kind of way ..
uhm... because, like you just said, they do make mistakes, it is imo unacceptable to deal out death sentences. and once you or someone who matters to you has been affected by something severe that actually "just" hits a minority, then i bet you would change your view about statistics and what's acceptable from a so called justice system.
No, I'd blame destiny. Btw in Europe we don't have such a right system, but what I am saying is that I understand their way of thinking just as I understand yours. I am neither, neiher contra death sentences. I still have to figure that out, because I can bring up the same amount of arguments pro as I can do with the contra side.
dude it happend in front of their eyes... he only just missed the bus. and how the hell must Obama get the adresses of the victims (families) if they are kept sercret for privacy reasons. and he didn't make ANY effort to dodge the people, and if you drive your car through a croud of people, hmmm would anybody die from that? he was bloody aware what he was doing and just a few minutes before the accident he went to a cop at the fence to ask if he could pass through. the anwser was no. and then he said he was going to attack the royal familie and walked away. (to get his car) so I don't feel sorry for that guy in any way. he deserved a prison sentence
This was a sad sad sad day on queensday in history, its not sad for the crazy man who drove the car. the familys of the dead ppl. are fucked up right now for the rest of their lifes, better dont discuss if he aint or he get the right judgement he need, its a dead man. when he still was alive, he was a death man walking. Queensday will never be the same anymore. And I hope it wil be the same like every year before 2009, Dommel, Out.
Capital punishment is not reprehensible in accordance to liberal theory. At the level of principle, if I daresay, it acts in correlation with the fundamental doctrines of individual rights, seeing that inability to punish crime is a crime itself, thus trivializing the state. I'd quote blogger Lew Rockwell: Arguably the most prevalent inducement against capital punishment is the paradox The idea is states that the hangman is a murderer, and shall therefore be punished - hence initiating a paradox. Does capital punishment imply homicide? If so, enslaving violators of the law is merely slavery. If death penalty equals homicide, fines are thievery. The paradox crackles. Crime and punishment are not equivalent. Briefly put, punishing crime is not a crime itself. On a divergent note, the most substantial thread on Lethal-Zone is frankly some off-topic tomfoolery. Bravo!
I think I missed the point where we started arguing if executing a death sentence is a criminal act itself... :?
Agree Kill his a big showoff! :lol: I mean english is a seckond ore third language to most of us its like he dont want to be understood just show of hes language skills.
Read "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham and you will be against the death penalty. It is the only true story that John Grisham has written.
Ooow hate books, especially if they aren't in my 1st language. Is the book available on DVD? No seriously ... what does the book say?
Meh I understand DA's crap but it is pretty confusing. Thats because he puts up a paradox and tackles it, although its not about the currently going on. plainly put he's just a showoff but he gets busted cause I do that crap too
... moreover emphasizing the emotive aspect of the issue. Grisham brings forth a decadent Williamson, dissecting the mind-games of a guiltless murderer. A must-read. Snap. It's on your lips; pretentious, am I right? CENSURED. DA you really are goingto have get a grip of yourself! No more insults. It is absolutely not necessary.
how threads can change.... a topic that started as a serious topic about a drama involved into a discussion about penalties, into death row, into how difficult "the provocateur" talks and then back to books and death sentence again. seriously I had no clue that this would happen.
