Those are the type of crimes I would give a death penalty exception for.

These are the types of crimes where I don't think a quick execution is fair

I was thinking of letting the victim's close ones do what they want to the demons for one day, but I'm not sure what that would do with their psyche afterwards.
E: The psyche of those doing the retribution.

I wouldn't. It's far more punishing and even that is far too little to throw them in a cell and lose the key. Let them sit there for endless years until they die. Done.

For the sake of my sanity, I'm not going to read that article. The headline is bad enough. Utterly beyond comprehension.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not against this article being written, but I want a filter so I don't have the mental image I now have.

[–] scarabic 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want a reality filter that will stop this shit from actually happening.

In what fuckin universe does that even make sense. How dull does the mind have to be to justify this? I couldn't chop an arm off of someone I hate, let alone a kid. Let alone all the other insert word to describe this horror.

I'm not too familiar with India's politics, but what does the BJP have to do with this incident? And how will changing parties solve these issues - is there any political party in India that's actually good and not corrupt? I heard corruption is pretty common across all of the government sector, regardless of the party in power?

[–] ruford1976 59 points 1 year ago

Everything. They incite violence using the fragility of our enviornment. They fund terrorists like RSS and VHP to supress minorities and make the environment more patriarchal according to hindu scriptures. some parties are corrupt but BJP is the most corrupt and it is trying to increase it more because more corruption = more hindu extreamism = more votes.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Congress is corrupt, but they're just corrupt, they don't care about much beyond self-enrichment.

The BJP is MAGA on crack with 500x as much religious zealotry pitched in.

Muslim genocide isn't that outrageous to them, there were several instances where they rallied to butcher Muslims in the past.

I'm earnestly asking any Indian folks why I've seen too many articles like this coming out of India. Why is it so unsafe for women in that country? Sexism? Regressive beliefs around sex?

[–] [email protected] 101 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

As per usual, it's not like the entire country shares these views. It's just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? What has to be going through your head to even think about doing this?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

What a terrible day to have eyes

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (9 children)

From actually reading the piece, this headline is wrong. It should read "Gang-raped 14 year old was burned alive then cut to pieces"

Which actually makes more sense

For transparency, it says that she was alive when she was burned, and the body was recovered from more than one location and this made the investigation harder.

So I have then concluded that she was burned alive and then cut to pieces, rather than cut to pieces alive and then burned.

Glad we cleared that up.

Brutal and horrific story involving pedophilia, gang rape, and a follow-up atrocity? If your first guess was India, you are correct.

Dig a large pit 20 feet deep and fill it with fire ants. Drop these demons in that pit and live stream it till they are completely eaten by the ants.

Was she an untouchable? Most of the time in these reports where someone has committed some unspeakable atrocity against another in India it's a higher caste victimizing an untouchable.
