30 days punishment to cause a hospital to evacuate, with hundreds of sick kids, doesn’t seem like enough.
Yeah, was she remorseful because she was tricked or because she did something atrocious?
Why are we punishing her? Can’t she be made to improve society in some way to make up for what she did? The harm she caused isn’t fixed with revenge.
From where I stand, the major problem with the far right is that they’re constantly being handled with kid gloves.
This was just bigotry and hatred on display and it escalates to this point because no one is ever putting a firm stop to it.
I don’t think it’s sufficient to allow someone who is willing to let children die in order to satiate their bigotry and hatred of queer people get off with some cleaning trash off the side of the road.
This very easily could have been manslaughter.
Honestly, 30 days is too low from where I’m standing.
While incarcerated, I’m fine with regular therapy and anything else to improve her as a person, but she shouldn’t be walking free in 30 days. She may not call any more bomb threats, but she’s hardly done making life hell for minorities.
Yeah, I agree more than 30 days to repay society is needed. Plus therapy is a great idea to try to prevent her from causing this kind of harm in the future.
I don’t think confinement itself will heal what she’s done nor get her on a better track in life.
It will prevent her from actively harming the rest of society. I’m fine with prison reform and I’m generally about restorative justice, let’s make the best of a bad situation.
But she demonstrated a callous disregard for the health, safety, and lives of children. I do not trust her to be a part of polite society at this time.
Yeah, I’m all for protecting society by restricting her movement. If that’s being called “punishment” then I’m just disagreeing with the term being used. The point of the restriction shouldn’t be to cause her harm.
Ah, then there were agree. I’m never okay with justice that’s looking for its pound of flesh.
There can and should be consequences for breaking the social contract, but only to make the best of a bad situation, not to arbitrarily worsen the situation of another.
Exactly :)
