I'm taking in the rest of what you've said but I do want to clarify that when I described making people feel whole, I was talking about the main victim. Not appeasing their family. As in, the people who were directly impacted must have a say, not necessarily decision making power, but be involved in the process. And when this is done, they usually wish not to enact the most extreme punishment. Pointing in favor of not immediately jumping to that as a main form of punishment if one of the goals is to make the affected feel safe again and not double disenfranchised by the forces meant to protect them.
Essentially arguing against myself and agreeing with the response you made to another user.
I'm sorry that I'm not better at being succinct. I'm sure another person could have conveyed the same arguments in not quite as many paragraphs . . .
My bad here too, I definitely misread it at least partially. I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that it doesn't change the substance of what I would say all that much, but I still should have been more careful to represent what you said accurately.
No worries, I'm just sorting out how I actually feel about what you've said and under better conditions with a cooler head, I'd probably agree a lot more readily. Scrolling the news makes it hard to do though given the flood of new occurrences every day. I'm sure I'd think differently if the people had absolute power over what comes next, ala the original question posed by OP.
It was my bad for not being clear, I was sort of jumping between points while I was thinking about them. I do appreciate the substantive replies though.
