The Rules
Posts must be:

There are times those of us who aren't total psychopaths are also a bit too lenient.
No, my thoughts come from a person who has no power to deliver proper punishment. From what I've read, it seems he's viewed as a petulant, perpetually angry prick. People like that are never happy, even when they get what they want, they just look for something else to hate. He's too uneducated and self centered to ever have proper introspection and growth. He's fucking stuck like that. Barring actual justice, at least he's trapped in that small mind.
Mine too comes from a place and person who does not have the power to deliver proper punishment, as an individual. Collectively, we do have a voice. We just have to use it correctly. Not just for this, for all things we view as evil. By speaking as one.
Oh? What do you perceive as the correct use of our voice in this specific instance?
Specific? Not much. We're too late on this one. What we can do is stop bickering and slap fighting in a corner and come together to help ensure people like this are held accountable more often. It's a road we need to walk, not a single instance or single situation that will help solve the larger systemic issues.
