Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, they chop the head off.

The last country to do so... with the second-to-last being France.

Then the number of reports is not a valid argument. Only the number of sustained reports, which is as yet to be decided. It seems to me that trolling is an accusation oo easily flung about by those who presume western justice to be better than oriental justice.

you see, i am unfamiliar with where you are from or what your culture is. but generally, where i come from, if a statement is vague, you first ask for clarification rather than making your own presumptions. then you accept the provided clarification, because that's the right thing to do. i hope we can get over this relative culture shock and start on a fresh page. :)

A life in prison might be even worse punishment than death. In Russia for example, there is a prison called Black Dolphin in Orenburg Oblast, it's a prison for worst criminals, such as child molestors, serial killers, cannibals and terrorists. Some inmates wish for death penalty in there.

Again, and this time through my main forum account:

where are the reports about systemic torture by the Kurds?
So far, those crimes are in your mind, not in theirs, and even if they have it in mind, they may still not have it in reality. Your prejudice against the YPG almost boils down to "We cannot let those (slur) handle trials, only we know how to do that. They don´t know what a proper sentence is, only we dicide that, etc..."

Take a step back, and consider where you have actually read about Kurds committing crimes against prisoners in their care.
Now consider where your opponents in this thread could have read such materials.
Now ask yourself if you should accuse all and sunder of advocating torture and trolling.

Well, I suppose, it's possible to accuse at least half of folks, who posted here of advocating death. Quarter for advocating torture. Don't know about trolling though...

Not sure if she can be rehabilitated. Such deeds are just too heinous. But at least she is won't be committing any crimes out there.

If it's not a real possibility of parole then it's not a rehabilitative sentence, but people who want her to be punished wouldn't be happy with a real possibility of parole.

If the punishment doesn't have a rehabilitative value (which means a projected release date that's not so far in the future it's effectively a life sentence) then it shouldn't be on the books.
