Even though the statement is too general and could easily include a misdemeanor like theft, if
elaborated it could be the right thing. But only if there is sufficient proof.
A rapist should get raped, a thief should be robbed and killer should be killed.
An eye for an eye. |

So we should base the actions of our society on the behavior of the ones we have deemed unfit to
live among us? As an absolute it makes no sense. But in fact that is what we do in a more practical
manner. What is prison or the other various criminal punishments but a temporary abrogation of at
least some of your human rights? |

Extreme. Blanketing all crime and taking away all of a person's human rights is wrong. All crime is
not equal or the same. Let the punishment fit the crime. If found guilty, and time is served, those
human rights should be restored. |

Don't criminals lose their human rights for a period of time? Being locked up would be taking away
one of the basic human rights...the right to be free. Temporarily, humans who commit crimes should
have some rights removed, but these rights should be then reinstated after the debt is paid. |

1) You cast a very broad net - you basically take away human rights for any criminal of any kind.
Not only rapists and murderers but drunk drivers, brawling youngsters, even peeping Tom's would lose
human rights. Bogus. 2) If they officially lose their human rights then why don't you just kill
them like rogue animals? 3) Eye for an eye was the earliest code of law under Hammurabi, it didn't
last for their culture, eventually terrible things are done in the name of justice. If you trip and
accidentally put an eye out of a little girl then her father gets to put the eye out on your own.
And what if you don't have a little girl, how do you get parity then? Eye for an eye justice has
never worked. 4) Your concept doesn't take into account insanity or temporary insanity or a
lifetime subjected to abuse, etc. 5) There are many cases of the innocent wrongly convicted. Well
if you're one of those people AND now you've lost your human rights too then society has made it
impossible for you to survive or ever get true justice - because without human rights you'll never
get to appeal, and you'll likely be kept in deplorable subhuman conditions which will only hasten
your demise. |
