...and freedom and justice for all. Does that phrase mean anything to you?
Absolutely. That very phrase is the backbone of my stance on this.
I don't consider myself any sort of patriot, but this goes against the very rationale of our country.
The first part of that sentence disturbs me immensely. Why so many people get squeamish when somebody tries to call them a patriot nowadays is a serious problem, in my opinion.
I know such a severe punishment for a 15 year old goes against the
current rationale of our country, I am saying that the rationale is wrong. I am sure before she attacked her father with a deadly weapon she weighed the consequences, because by the age of 15 you have reached a level of maturity that gives you the ability to think for yourself and consider things in the long-term. And I have no doubt that the very reason she pressed her attack was because she concluded she was owed extra protection under the law,
because she's just a girl. The matter only gets worse when she attempts to deny him the ability to seek medical aid, indicating that she showed no remorse for her actions.
How is killing this man's daughter justice for him? Are you guys ignoring the fact that it's his kid?
It sounds to me like your position is based more on your emotions. The only way the man can have any justice is if his daughter suffers grave consequences. She's the one who fired the arrow, if she gets off scott-free there is no justice, and he has received no protection under the law.
