Yes.
Lol, ok. That strikes me as a religious assertion. I don’t agree.
So if the victim was tortured to death and the victim wanted the murderer to be tortured by me, to death it’d be ok if I did so?
It wouldn’t just be OK. It would be the only way to have justice. Anything else and you are letting an injustice go unpunished.
And who should pay for the penalty? The victim?
The criminal obviously. Seeing how he lost the trial.
So if I’m raped, I’m being made whole if the rapist is being raped?
We can only speculate what punishment would eventually emerge as the most common one for various types of crimes. And even then there would be regional differences and the like. But I very much doubt rape would be prescribed in any case. It would probably be some other form of torture, or forced labour.
First you say that the society should pay for the penalty, now you’re saying that the criminal should?
And should today’s socialists be punished for their theft in tomorrow’s libertarian society?
And how about drunk drivers who kill? Should the family of the victim be allowed to reproduce the car crash and kill him?
I’m confused.
How does torture or rape or forced labor or any other nonsense equate to making the victim whole?
