I'm against the Dp for a lot of reasons. I could argue them all but in the end it comes down to one position I read or heard a few years ago, that I think sums it up pretty well.
A just and civilized society treats its criminals better than they treated their victims, lest society debases itself to the level of the criminals.
Personally, had I been close to one of the victims in Jag's post, I'd hunt down and put the fucker in a wood chipper - slowly. Because revenge is satisfying. But not by proxy. And society must not enact revenge, only justice.
