I was actually not aware that lynchings were extra judicial. I figured it was done as punishment by jury. I'm only suggesting it as a replacement for life in prison or lethal injection. You're absolutely right though, it was poor wording, out of ignorance. Thats another good point, my main quarrel is with the demons letting these people out of jail.

That's alright. We've all been there, but it is good that you can take this and learn from it.

One lesson I've learned over the years is to always ask myself if I'm focused on the problem or the symptom.

In the context of early release: Is it ever a good thing under any circumstance? Is it early release that is the problem or is it the piss poor judgment of those making the decision to release? If it is the poor judgment, why? Why are they deciding to release people for a minor virus?

It leads to an elaborate rabbit hole until you boil it down to first principles (principles that rely on no other assumption). What is prison for? Retribution, incapacitation, deterrence or rehabilitation?

Interesting approach. Definitely merit to that. I appreciate your calm, calcluated approach, rather than putting words in my mouth. Wise people like you are a fountain of life. Early release would be good if they were innocent of the crime, or of they had the book thrown at them like flynn. To answer your question, i would say equally all four parts.
