    yeah have to agree kung poverty eh root ng crimes eh di sana walang mayaman na nakakulong. cguro, it just pushes some people to crime but is not the cause for crime itself. Besides, ang krimen, krimen pa den. bali-baligtarin mo ang mundo. There are different degrees of crime. Iba iba ang parusa jan.

    Re sa Christian way, i agree with sir yebo. God gave us the freedom to set rules and laws for ourselves. And the laws of the Church goes hand in hand with the law of man (well not all considering na in some state sa US eh pede ang abortion, but that's a different subject). We should forgive, by all means we should practice that, but there's no reconciliation without justice. You did crime then suffer the consequences.

    since when niya tayo binagyan ng power to expunge from our society those elements that threaten our lives and morals? Dont take the Bible literally. Take into consideration mo yun historical and social context. one example would be yung healing of the blind/deaf/pilay, hindi niya ito pinagaling literally. remember dalawang beses niya pinagaling? una medyo malabo pa yun paningin/pandinig, tapos yun pangalawa okay na. ibig sabihin nito, once na dumating si God sa buhay mo mabubuksan ang iyong loob, pero nasa iyo na yun kung tatanggapin mo si God, at hindi agad agad mong makikita ang liwanag, unti unti ito. Dapat both God and you are open for the relationship.

    If papatayin natin yun mga taong nagthreaten sa society natin at yung nagkakamali, so there would be no room for change right? Kaya nga correctional facility ang tawag eh hindi punishing facility.

    Violence as a way of achieving justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

    Man should always overcome his feelings.

    What if the criminal does not have any hope for change? Do you still give him a chance? How many chances do you give a criminal, specially one's who commit heinous crimes? Do you wait for something to happen to your loved one before you really feel the pain? Lots of questions... given, we should give a person a chance for change BUT there are exceptions, specially in cases like these... these people have something wrong between their ears.

    theres no such thing as 'no hope for change'... how many times mo papatawarin? 7 times 7 ata... wala naman akong sinabi na pakawalan siya eh... wag lang patayin... pwede naman ikulong eh... walang mangyayari sa mga loved ones ko kasi nakakulong siya... i know the feeling, nangyari na rin sa akin... ano naman ang difference para sa society kung ang criminal ay pinatay or kinulong? aside sa tipid sa budget? would the victim be happy if mamatay rin yun criminal? so gantihan na lang?

    This is just one example why there should be Capital Punishment. Seems like Jail time didn't work.


    Rapist strikes in jail
    http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117...7-1245,00.html ^ | March 18, 2005 | Kathryn Shine

    A FEMALE jail worker was raped by one of Western Australia's most notorious ***ual predators during a six-hour hostage ordeal inside a medium-security prison. In an extraordinary failure of prison security, Paul Stephen Keating, who is serving an indefinite sentence, snatched the education officer and held her at knife-point, keeping authorities at bay during the attack.

    Even more disturbing, it was Keating's third ***ual assault against a female jail worker.

    Keating trapped the woman in a storage room at Bunbury Regional Prison, doused her with a flammable liquid, held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her during the standoff.

    The State Government and Department of Justice yesterday faced intense criticism for allowing Keating to be transferred to the medium-security prison, south of Perth.

    Keating, 45, is serving an indefinite sentence for a string of mostly ***ually related crimes.

    He was convicted of an aggravated indecent assault on a female prison psychologist in 1987, and raped a prison officer in a toilet block at Casuarina Prison in 1992.

    The officer raped at Casuarina accused the Justice Department yesterday of incompetence and demanded more stringent controls.

    "I don't want another girl hurt, because next time she will be killed," she said. "He gets worse every time."

    The Justice Department admitted there had been a failure but was unable to explain how Keating had had the opportunity to attack again.

    He was transferred from Perth's maximum-security Casuarina Prison to the medium-security jail in May 2002 - a move questioned yesterday by state Attorney-General Jim McGinty.

    "I think there was a lack of diligence in making sure that the right security classification applied to this person," Mr McGinty said.

    "Paul Keating is one of the worst criminals in this State."

    Department of Justice regional and rural prisons director Tim Connolly said Keating was reclassified as a medium-security prisoner after he completed several intensive programs to address his ***-offending.

    The Australian understands Keating, who was completing a university psychology degree, was considered trustworthy and safe.

    don't look at it as gantihan. but if the law states that his crime is for death penalty and so be it. Nagkataon yun ang prize nya sa crime nya. *shrugs*

    "Take into consideration mo yun historical and social context. one example would be yung healing of the blind/deaf/pilay, hindi niya ito pinagaling literally. "
    ---Actually, sir, Jesus DID heal those blind/deaf/pilay people. He did it literally.

    There's always a chance of that prisoner to escape, get out of prison... and do more harm. Well it rids us of one more menace of society. I believe in our rights to live, but if you cause harm to our fellow citizens, you should be put out of society.

    It's funny we have the death penalty which the Church opposes while we ban abortions which the Church approves. I wonder why the Church doesnt give as much political pressure to politicians who are pro-death penalty as to those politicians who are for artificial contraception.
