    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    i think this guy should have got death penalty for his first murder case. when you stabbed a guy repeatedly with an butterfly knife and caused his death, you re become a danger to society.
