That’s a noble throught. However, do realize that even most, means that some people will not feel bad about killing people. The problem is that now you have to predict with certainty whether any one given person will repeat the offense in the future. A thing that all humans are pretty shit at.
Let’s say, in an hypothetical case, we let a murderer free. There’s no equivocal culpability, we know they did it. But, since you’re advocating for no prison. Then, if he reoffends, you go to jail instead. Would you feel as sure about advocating for a murderer?
It’s easy to presume rehabilitation if you’re not the one who will suffer the consequences. Also, spoken as someone who has never had the opportunity of interacting with an antisocial personality type.
Neither would I, hence the qualifiers. Doesn’t change the argument though.
so putting this person in jail does no good.
You… Completely ignore why this person wouldn’t do it again. If there is no punishment then why wouldn’t they?
This whole argument is stupid honestly. Stop being disingenuous.
I think most people would feel pretty bad about contributing to someone’s death, and punishing them doesn’t change anything
