the major difficulty people seem to be having is dealing with the humanity of a criminal. it's a very hard thing to come to terms with, especially with the conflated issues of prejudice atop it. no good will come from our bickering, because far too many of us cannot get beyond such hurdles. crime and punishment is hard, and this is why professionals, representing a disembodied entity called 'the state,' need to be arbiters.
