    Well ok but also consider the victims though, shouldn’t they get justice?

      How is ending someone else’s life justice? It’s revenge.

          They would be wrong. It doesn’t do anything to change what was done. The only thing it does it makes things worse for everyone. Everyone is forced to pay for their incarceration and it removes someone from society who could contribute to it instead. It’s a burden to society, not a boon.

            Easy to say if someone close to you has never been harmed, but I doubt so many victims would agree that it’s wrong. People who are victims also have a right for justice to be done on their behalf. It’s not something you can just wave away.

              You’re saying that only life imprisonment without parole for minors is justice and anything less is not.

              What’s a solution that doesn’t do damage to others, let alone doing damage to someone who may still be redeemable? The event can’t be undone. There’s no way to change that. The outcome that does the most good should be the one used, not the one that makes you feel good because you got them back, which doesn’t help anyone. That momentary joy will be gone in time, but the suffering of either party will never be changed.
