As top Russian court instance on Thursday ruled to prolong the death penalty ban in the country, many Russian politicians still can not agree, whether capital punishment is good or bad for the nation.
I understand our churches point of view. I also don't like how life sentences usually are 10 to 15 years only for offenders and they come out doing what they do best. There has been two recent cannibal stories, one in Perm and one in Samara region. Perm, two bums cut up their friend over jealous and ate him. Then they sold rest of the meat to the Shaurma (kebab)stand for money. Think about that next time you line up for some Shaurma. And the other fellow from the Samara region just got out of prison. He demanded his mother's pension for alcohol. She refused and he killed her. He then gambled and drank her pension money until it ran out. He then ate the body of his mother and complained it was too fatty. Some of these criminals have no human connections. They said he was starving and therefore he wasn't a cannibal. Ummmm Defense Attorney, you are an idiot. He is a criminal... He just killed his mom. If he is starving, he couldn't steal food from a kiosk? There are so many ways to eat that carving up your murdered mother for steaks is definitely cannibalism. And do you want these people in society????????? Rapists, Child Rapists, Sick Murderers that aren't linked to accidents or moments of passion. I personally think it is necessary under terms of beyond reasonable doubt because executing an innocent man is worse.
