Yep. It's scary and depressing. I really don't get this misguided, excessive sympathy for criminals and other bad people. I understand the urge to forgive, offering the opportunity to reform, criminals having rights and so on. However, it's being done to the point of absurdity. Like it doesn't matter if the criminals actually reform or not.
Whenever I've argued with these types of people in the past, they have a complete disregard for the victims of these criminals. It doesn't matter how severe their crimes are. All they care about is if the criminal can just return to normal life with few or no consequences. One such liberal idiot insisted that he doesn't want anyone to suffer. I always thought that was weird because he's basically turning a blind eye to the repeated suffering created by criminals. Yet another unironically believed that dangerous people should only be held in jail for an hour or less for their own protection with no other consequences. These were arguments I had both on and offline.
Pardon my rambling, but I really get sick of all this pro-criminal bullshit that goes on these days. I don't get how this passes for justice. I suspect the only reason these idiot activists stand up for criminals is because they're not affected by them. Like with many other issues! They can slither off to their cozy gated communities while the rest of us rot.
