I was thinking of one day to let the victim’s close ones do what they want with the demons, but I’m not sure what that would do with their psyche afterwards.
It doesn’t, though. There’s no evidence that the death penalty serves any sort of deterrent. It isn’t a punitive measure, it’s vengeance. If you’re ok with vengeance I respect your opinion though I disagree, but we can’t pretend it’s anything but vengeance.
I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe when you get more life experience, you’ll realize that most scumbags will only avoid engaging in heinous acts if the deterrent for doing so is appropriate.
Let’s say we do decide to torture murderers. Who is going to torture them? Are we going to pay for these people to have therapy (because they’re really going to need it)? How would you feel if you found out your next-door neighbour tortures people for a living? What do we do when we find out, years later, that we’ve been torturing an innocent person?
I think you need a little more life experience so you can realize that things aren’t as simple as you seem to think they are.
These are the types of crimes where I don’t think a quick execution is fair

I do beleive in restorative justice but I do wonder ocassioanlly if we haven’t gone too far into the concept that vengeance has zero place in justice
Yes, we have.
You should consider joining Isis.
Maybe not, but it is a humane thing to do, and it removes the problem.
Yeah. Torture is fine, so is a simple bullet to the back of the head.
Whichever is a bigger deterrent for these crimes should be enacted.
Knowing that one’s existence will cease if they commit such crimes should serve as a sufficient deterrent.

What about torturing them?
As a society, we should strive to be better than the people we judge for their crimes. Torturing people is just wrong, cruel, and unnecessary.

Gee, how did we ever do it in the past? It’s never been done before, lol.
Study history, then come back.
