Unfortunately for him, you and I aren't judges ;-)<BR/><BR/>And of course, there is no jury system.Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1143928389050698872006-04-02T05:53:00.000+08:002006-04-02T05:53:00.000+08:00from what I have heard of Took, there is reasonabl...from what I have heard of Took, there is reasonable doubt as to what he did and if his actions caused the death of the little girl. I thought I heard that she might have choked on her vomit and died. Would that mean that if I got into a fight with someone in a bar, punched them in the head and they died of a brain hemmorage I am guilty of 1st degree murder and should hang, or should I be charged with simple assault since I had no way of knowing that my punch would cause a brain hemmorage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1143794225583320832006-03-31T16:37:00.000+08:002006-03-31T16:37:00.000+08:00>> when the person committed the murder, they coul...<I> >> when the person committed the murder, they could did it out of the spur of anger at the point of time.

Everyone gets angry (emotion -> internal), but if a person understands moral choice - i.e. the differnce between right and wrong, there is no excuse.<BR/><BR/>Everyone, whether they are aware of it or not, is responsible for thier actions, at any time, wherever they are.<BR/><BR/>The death penalty for murder respects the right of justice, and retribution for the victims.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is always a possibility that an innocent might be sentenced to die, which is why the legal standard of "beyond reasonable doubt" must be changed to "absolute certainty".Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1143708842667969292006-03-30T16:54:00.000+08:002006-03-30T16:54:00.000+08:00However, when the person committed the murder, the...However, when the person committed the murder, they could did it out of the spur of anger at the point of time. It doesn't mean the person is bad in nature. So, I support life imprisonment and not death penalty.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, for religious reason, to execute a person would cause oneself to fall into the hell. This would include:<BR/><BR/>1) one who implements such law<BR/>2) one who confers such law to the<BR/> criminal<BR/>3) one who ultimately gives the <BR/> permission to go ahead with the<BR/> execution nearing to execution<BR/>4) one who actually executes the <BR/> criminal<BR/>4) anyone who agrees and rejoices <BR/> at the execution <BR/> <BR/>Who wish to go to hell and suffer tremendously there? Surely not for me. I would prefer to give others a chance to repent for their wrongdoings instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1143706568072459102006-03-30T16:16:00.000+08:002006-03-30T16:16:00.000+08:00What is needed is drug law reform, not the death p...What is needed is drug law reform, not the death penalty per se.<BR/><BR/>These 2 crimes are different - brutal murder/rape in Took's case and drug dealing in Van's case.<BR/><BR/>I support a death penalty for murder. However, in my mind, there are doubts as to whether he raped his victim.Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652498247201967379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1143697569332594152006-03-30T13:46:00.000+08:002006-03-30T13:46:00.000+08:00Or, it could be1. their schedules did not allow th...Or, it could be<BR/><BR/>1. their schedules did not allow them to issue any statement, much less form an action plan<BR/><BR/>2. they had a clear idea of what they agreed on when they campaigned for Nguyen, but not for Took.<BR/><BR/>It is entirely possible, and is often the case, in the nitty gritty of action committees that silence is not deliberate, and does not constitute any clear meaning other than the two points listed above.akikonomuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05750460516384317828noreply@blogger.com
