Punishment should only be used as a tool of rehabilitation or deterrence, not as a tool of vengeance.

The machine that is Vince Li broke down in spectacular and tragic fashion. Destroying him will not do any good, unless we're talking about a context where there is no other option and not destroying him means risking him doing more harm. I don't think we live in such a context.
Thank you.

Speaking of vengeance:
An Iranian woman living in Spain who was disfigured and blinded by a man in Iran said Thursday she welcomed a Tehran court ruling that awards her eye-for-eye justice against her assailant.

Bahrami, who moved to Barcelona after the attack to get medical treatment, said the court had originally ruled that she was entitled to have the man blinded in only one eye in Iran because "each man is worth two women".
I thought things like that were just culturally/socially accepted - I had no idea they were actually CODIFIED and considered legal arguments.

She can't blame him for being fat though, just because you get disfigured doesn't mean you suddenly gain 100 lbs, the lazy whale.
