[quote="Juliette"][quote="Nicholas"]Odd how a mass murderer who murdered over 70 people in cold blood will only get 21 years jail, while someone in the U.S who would kill only óne person would already get a life-sentance as if he/she killed 70 people. both legal systems suck.[/quote]
Agreed. But then, I also agree with Flip's statement that if you take a life, yours should be taken from you. An eye for an eye, a life for a life. Of course, with legal systems like the one we have here, a murderer sentenced to death might live out the rest of his life going through all those appeals they get.[/quote]

There is nothing more hypocritical than the death sentence. We live in a civilized world, not the middle ages.
