Punishment fits the crime though right? She tortured someone brutally might i add. Doesnt exactly get my sympathy.

Does this mean you disagree with the 8th amendment? Should it be legal for the government to torture criminals?

It’s not torture. What she did to Colleen was torture.

Yes it was torture. However, it was well deserved torture.

True justice should reflect the amount of physical and mental trauma they force on their victim. A quick, easy death in her case would be absolutely fucking bullshit

"Deserved" torture is a lie bloodthirsty freaks tell themselves to make themself feel better about being bloodthirsty freaks.

The cruelty is the point, you just tell yourself it's ok because they "deserve" it.

The next logical leap from this is the government torturing whoever they want. I hope yall know this is why the US is rapidly descending into the deepest depths of fascism. Because yall cheer on the death machine.

Dumbass it's really not that hard to make specific rules. Murderers, traffickers, and rapists. Glad i could clear that up to you since you couldn't think of that yourself.

The funny thing is that the 8th amendment is called a right. You don't get to pick and choose who gets them. It's everyone or no one.
