A good friend of mine works as a correctional officer at a Chicago maximum security prison...and he tells me that the violent criminals are granted health and dental insurance. Is that YOUR idea of "justice" when it comes to cases such as the one I have posted here?
I'm sorry if it offends your Buddhist sensibilities, Hcap...but I would pay money to be allowed to carve the eyeballs out of the skulls of these two animals...with a hot spoon. And I might be the least-violent member of this board...who wouldn't willingly even step on an ant.
No mercy whatsoever for the scum of the earth...I say. And if the Buddha is right, and we all come back to this earth for an encore performance...let those animals get things right the next time around. But this time they got things terribly wrong...and their exit from this life must be as painful as possible, IMO...in order for the lesson to be properly reinforced.  |
Compassion has the ability to expand the narrow focus.
BTW, Christianity and Judaism do not disagree.
