The arson attack in a revered Kyoto animation studio killed 36 people and injured dozens more.
The arson attack in a revered Kyoto animation studio killed 36 people and injured dozens more.
I would like to know what the general opinion about this sentence is.
Personally, I think that people like that are too dangerous to ever be let free again. But I still believe that we should never allow anyone to kill someone for punishment.
Also I’m wondering whether other’s opinions are influenced by how much they like the works of KyoAni.
I don’t think it should matter at all. But to be honest, the only reason I even read about the fire was because anime communities were posting about it.
I oppose the death penalty in very nearly every circumstance. I think that prisons should be more about rehabilitation that just brutish punishment (but the punishment exists at least in part to avoid extra-judicial attacks by the victims who feel the perpatrator was not justly punished). Some people, of course, cannot be rehabilitated and, in that case, I would lean toward life in prison.
I’ve been living in Japan the better part of a decade and don’t have strong opinions on anime or the like (I couldn’t tell you what KyoAni has made)
I’m more or less indifferent to this. I have other things to worry about than the fate of someone who killed 36. Death penalty or life, to me with this guy it’s all the same.
