    America has this weird fetishization with punishment

    I read a story like this and all i want is for this guy to be punished and i don’t think its weird. That girls life is ended at 18 for what? The family is owed justice. Part of justice is punishment. Some part of justice is punishment isn’t it?

    I think a lot of us try distance ourselves from things that should be okay to feel and experience. It should be okay to say I want certain people to be punished for the shit they’ve done. Because rehabilitation doesn’t always work and also not every person deserves the consideration.
