They could simply and logically execute him and stop wasting their time.
But no..........you can't be hard on criminals!
why?? He didn't kill the guard. It even said the injuries weren't life threatening.
Yeah, but that probably wasn't from lack of trying. Just a matter of luck in the guard resisting his attempt.
so. You can't give someone the death penalty for attempted murder.
So far, we don't even know why he was in jail in the first place. There's obviously more to the whole story than that little news snippet provided.
I think you should be able to; attempted murder is, in intent, as bad as murder. It still makes someone a murderer.
And the person was ALREADY in prison and stirring up trouble; the only logical choice is execution.
no, i didnt make it up. It came out of a paper written on VE by our ethics and law proffessor. Unfortunatly i dont have his source matterial any longer (and even when i did i couldnt give it to you because it was offline)
Of course even if i did you wouldnt belive me, hell you wouldnt belive me if i said the sky was blue. Did you look at the back of your salt bottle yet because i noticed you havent come back at me about THAT one yet?

Me too, so there goes Asguard's average....
What is the point of your statement even if it is true? You can't compare the circumstances of a rapist being executed and a "baby" being aborted.
really? You're pissy because I asked you to back up what you claim??
And I don't think you're a liar, I think you are completely misinformed. I think you hear part of something and your brain runs wild with it making all kinds of ludicrous scenarios. I think you hear one thing and think its 100% all of the time true.
I think you should put up or shut up. That's an American saying.
Oh, and I got back to you on the salt thing. So why haven't you gotten back to me getting back to you yet?

Isolation. Take away privileges..
Anyway, he shouldn't even be able to slash a guards throat. I guess they must have slipped up somewhere.
I made this point back in #19 but it's good you bring it up again since he ignored it.
What?! Not even a little, light slap on the wrist?? Surely you could bring yourself to lightly slap his wrist, couldn't you? Please? I mean, he's been a bad little boy, you can't just let him off so easily, can you? I mean, that might cause him to grow up to be, heaven forbid, a criminal or something.
Is that something like blaming the women when they're raped? ...she must have slipped up somewhere? ...LOL!
Tell me, Enmos, why does a society, any society, need with people like the guy in the OP? What good is he to anyone or anything? How is he valuable enough for society to pay money to keep him ...when tens of thousands of children go hungry every day? Please explain that to me.

You know, you asked in the OP if anything could be done other than the death penalty. I answered this and so did Enmos. Mocking these answers, to a question you asked, is fairly rude. These are in fact actions that can be taken. And these actions are not looked up lightly by people in prison. That does not mean we are right and you are wrong, but at least have the courtesy to explain your objections the those actions, which are regularly taken in relation to prisoners including those who committed capital crimes.
Absurd. His answer was to mention punishments not rights of prisoners. You may disagree with those punishments as being enough, but they are not 'rights of prisoners.'
Not necessarily in this case, but in many others anti-capital punishment people almost seem to be defending the criminals, yet they don't bother with the victim getting their justice.
