Those are the type of crimes I would give a death penalty exception for.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 84 points 1 year ago (24 children)

These are the types of crimes where I don't think a quick execution is fair

I was thinking of letting the victim's close ones do what they want to the demons for one day, but I'm not sure what that would do with their psyche afterwards.
E: The psyche of those doing the retribution.

I wouldn't. It's far more punishing and even that is far too little to throw them in a cell and lose the key. Let them sit there for endless years until they die. Done.

For the sake of my sanity, I'm not going to read that article. The headline is bad enough. Utterly beyond comprehension.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not against this article being written, but I want a filter so I don't have the mental image I now have.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want a reality filter that will stop this shit from actually happening.

I'm earnestly asking any Indian folks why I've seen too many articles like this coming out of India. Why is it so unsafe for women in that country? Sexism? Regressive beliefs around sex?

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 100 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

As per usual, it's not like the entire country shares these views. It's just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

That's really more like high evil in my opinion.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? What has to be going through your head to even think about doing this?

[–] Bartlebee@artemis.camp 61 points 1 year ago

What a terrible day to have eyes

[–] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 60 points 1 year ago (9 children)

From actually reading the piece, this headline is wrong. It should read "Gang-raped 14 year old was burned alive then cut to pieces"

Which actually makes more sense

For transparency, it says that she was alive when she was burned, and the body was recovered from more than one location and this made the investigation harder.

So I have then concluded that she was burned alive and then cut to pieces, rather than cut to pieces alive and then burned.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Glad we cleared that up.

Put each in a 5x5 cell with a light that never goes out. No human contact, just them alone with their thoughts for the rest of their miserable lives.

Fucking animals. They don’t deserve sentencing. That’s reserved for human beings. Thy should be put down like wild dogs.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago (14 children)

These people are monsters indeed.

However, if you want to be part of civil society, you have to do things right. These asswipes deserve a judge and jury too and will then spend probably the rest of their lives in jail.

You can't have it both ways.

It's offensive to the animals to be comparing them to humans. No non-human animal would have been this cruel.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Have you ever sat around and watched ducks?

Bastards, I tell ya.

I’ve seen the female mallard with half of her feathers removed, floating face down in the water dead, all while the males continue to gang rape her for hours.

Maybe we should compare people like this to ducks.

Brutal and horrific story involving pedophilia, gang rape, and a follow-up atrocity? If your first guess was India, you are correct.

[–] ruford1976@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Dig a large pit 20 feet deep and fill it with fire ants. Drop these demons in that pit and live stream it till they are completely eaten by the ants.

Was she an untouchable? Most of the time in these reports where someone has committed some unspeakable atrocity against another in India it's a higher caste victimizing an untouchable.
