Hello H - glad you got back OK.
I don't 'believe' so I don't believe in divine retribution or salvation. I do think people should be punished if they commit a crime but that there should be a) room for manoeuvre should there have been a miscarriage of justice b) an opportunity for the prisoner to look to change his / her life through education (both academic and social), psychotherapy and training - although in Huntley's case I can't ever see him being released.
I don't personally uphold the 'eye for an eye' school of thought. If I did - if I did want such a criminal put to death - then I'm sinking to his base level.
I equally don't hold with individuals in society acting as judge, jury and executioner by carrying out unauthorised punishments.
But whether I've answered your question........
