I think the massacre of the theatre in Aurora it was one of the horrifying and tragic gun shooting events that has happen in the United States, like the massacre in Sandy Hook. About James Holmes sentence I believe that he deserved a death penalty instead of the life sentence in prison, doesn’t matter if he is diagnose from mentally Ill. Probably he deserved to suffer in lifetime with the guilt of killing good citizens but he needs to pay for what his done to the victims of taking away their lives and affecting the victim’s families forever. I believe in Eye for an eye punishment, so this is my way of see about someone killing innocent people. You kill you pay in the same
“I understand what they felt in Oklahoma City’, he said. ‘I have no sympathy for them’. (Michel)” Timothy J. McVeigh is accused of the worst act of domestic terror in American history. With six years on trial, McVeigh was finally executed.
Witnesses at the Century Aurora 16 complex said minutes into the special midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” on July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, James Holmes had slipped through an emergency exit door of the sold-out movie theater, propped it open, and returned armed with three guns and wearing a ballistic helmet, body shields, a gas mask obscuring his face, his hair tinted orange. He tossed two hissing gas or smoke canisters and calmly walked up the aisle open firing at moviegoers, killing 12 and wounding 70. Arrested without resistance while he was standing next to his car behind the Century 16 theater shortly after the shooting and jailed without bail awaiting trial, James Holmes was described by law-enforcement officials as
I see the point of those who say that a murderer would deserve to die, Timothy McVeigh had murdered thousands in a single blast. I understand that those families all want revenge, I understand the pain they are going through; myself, as well as many others,
Most people thought sentencing the 21 year-old bomber to death as “a fitting punishment for this horrific crime” (Lynch, n.d.). I believe the punishment was somewhat appropriate. Seeing the man that killed or caused immense suffering to many innocent people, being sentenced to death, was considered
The verdict in this case generated an epidemic of outrage throughout the world. I agree with the not-guilty verdict on the murder one and two charges; however, the evidence is not as incontrovertible as some have suggested. I also agree that there was some mischaracterization around the 31 days; yet, to trivialize this behavior as simply immature is inaccurate. The way Casey handled the death was inexcusable.
During this session, we discussed cases that may require us to act against our conscience, and what medical providers can do when faced with such situation. Three cases that were presented were hymenoplasty in minor, providing birth control medication, and administration of medication that will hasten patient’s death in end-of-life care. One of the questions that I ran into while reflecting on this session was the distinction between conscience and morality. Some define conscience as innate quality that operates under one’s rule of moral beliefs and principles. Then how does one develop these beliefs and principles that guide conscience?
Four goals of Punishment When deciding what punishment fits the crime the judge will go over the severity of the crime and past criminal history and meditating circumstances. The punishment can not be more then what the law calls for. The main goal is to try and deterrence crime, reform and rehabilitation of offenders and to make reparation to the persons that crime affected. And with the different types of sentencing in cases the judges hope to achieve that. Rehabilitation is one of the sentencing a judge can order to assist with majority problems an offender may have from drug addiction to alcohol problems, also angry management or domestic violence.
This article has great viewpoints, use of argumentative reasoning, and shows what truly happens in the hallways of a school shooting. The main person he explains is Eric Harris, who killed over two-thousand students and faculty in a Colorado high school in 1998. He set off bombs all over the school and used a semi-automatic
Sitting in the living room will never be the same. That was ruined by one person committing a violent act. One night of sexual activity, without consent. People who have committed violent acts against or to another person should face charges equal to the crime committed. This means that the death penalty should be legal for anyone charged and proved guilty of murder and rape.
Perry Smith and Dick Hickock have both committed some horrible crimes. With very little commitment or love in Perry's childhood, this could make a child grow up cold, brittle, and rough. It could make a man tough as steel, yet as malleable as putty. With Dick it is a little different, He had loving parents and was a great student, yet as he grew so did his problems with money, alcohol, and women. Back in the city of Holcomb, Kansas before the murders made nationwide news, no one really heard of the town.
Gun caused violent, we must banned gun and stop using them for forever! Qualification: (Tell listeners your personal experience with your topic, making you qualified to affect their opinions about it.) The mass shooting in Paris, November 2015 is one of the most horrible terrorist attacks I had ever knew. The terrorist killed 130 people, make 413 people seriously injured.
Punishment and discipline have often been interchanged however their meanings couldn't be more different. The Latin root of punishment means "to inflict pain," while the Latin root of discipline means "to teach." I know there are some people who believe the only way to teach is by inflicting pain but the work of cellular biologist, Bruce Lipton, should dispel that myth forever. When studying cells, Dr. Lipton teaches us that cells can only be one of two positions--protection or growth. If a cell is in protection mode it cannot grow.
I. Introduction A. P. J. O 'Rourke once said “Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them” (O’Rourke, Pg.10). Parents always want their children to be better than what they used to be when they were at their age; that is why they care about every detail in their children’s life especially when it comes to behavior, obeying them and listening to their words. B. Background Information: i. People came to realize that physical punishment is a rough, atrocious, unacceptable mean of punishment that should be banned for its appalling, horrifying effects. ii. Facts about physical punishment (sources used) 1.
Cady, The Classical School sees deterrence as the purpose of punishment. The exercise of free will is described as the result of crimes occurring and also that moral wrongdoing is fed by personal choice. Beccaria believed that the purpose of punishment should be deterrence rather than retribution. He also emphasized the need for adjudication and punishment to be swift and for punishment, once determined to be certain. Jeremy Bentham is known for developing utilitarianism, or hedonistic calculus.
There is a worldwide trend in the use of penal imprisonment for serious offenses as capital punishment has been renounced by an increasing number of countries. Harsh punishments include capital punishment, life imprisonment and long-term incarceration. These forms of punishments are usually used against serious crimes that are seen as unethical, such as murder, assault and robbery. Many people believe that harsher punishments are more effective as they deter would-be criminals and ensure justice is served. Opposition towards harsh punishments have argued that harsher punishments does not necessarily increase effectiveness because they do not have a deterrent effect, do not decrease recidivism rates and do not provide rehabilitation.
