Ahh clearly not premeditated. Lady clearly forgot she needs to put on a bodycam to film it all and some shiny shitstained badge to avoid all this nonsense.... she'd probably even get a job in the next county* over or a medal if she followed these simple steps.
*Edit cuz stupid autocorrect doesn't seem to think counties exist anymore
I think ultimately the sentencing is fine, the problem is that the criminal system failed at every step of the way... until it was time to punish her. He shouldn't have been let go in the first place. Since the justice system is known to handle harsher sentences to people of color, it's easy to be even more displeased with this result.
I think because they failed her, her actions are justified.
Since she's going to prison, where her mental health will not be treated appropriately for the horrible things done to her by the person she murdered, I disagree, the sentencing is not fine.
I do agree that the "justice system" failed at every other step along the way. I just think it failed here too. She should be sentenced and appropriately confined, but not in prison.
What a shit article, it literally skips the most important part and makes it seem like it was self-defense when it was planned. What happened is grossly misrepresented.
This is from https://somethingsbrewingcafe.ca/linkpost/460154/ :
According to police, Kizer traveled armed from Milwaukee to Volar's home in Kenosha in June 2018. She shot him twice in the head, set fire to his house and took his car.
He deserved it and it's sketchy as hell they let him go when they busted him with home made kiddie porn. Regardless, it's illegal to take matters into your own hands.
It’s illegal to take matters into your own hands.
The article is about justice, not “legality.” The question is about the size of the gap (or in this case the gaping chasm) between what is legal in our society and what is moral.
Any rational agent in this woman’s circumstances should do what she did. I understand that doing the right thing is often illegal, which makes some people uncomfortable, but you know maybe that’s why the gap between justice and legality is so vast. That’s why our Supreme Court is a joke.
When the law and authorities fail to give you Justice, you go ahead and get it yourself. Just don't get caught.
People don't get let go with child porn. That's a hard claim to swallow.
it's sketchy as hell they let him go when they busted him with home made kiddie porn.
The fuck!?!
Ummm yea this girl deserves a pay day for doing their job for them not punishment.
She can deserve both compensation for suffering and punishment for taking her own action. This is premeditated and she didn't need to be there, but his actions clearly contributed negatively to her mental state.
Her morally good action was premeditated? Unthinkable!
Obviously you don't have good morals. Vigilantism is immoral..
Vigilantism is immoral
This is a category error. You wouldn’t say that “kicking is immoral,” or that “driving is immoral.” It just depends what you’re kicking and where you’re driving.
“Vigilantism” is the extrajudicial pursuit of justice. It involves breaking the law in some random corner of the world. However, none of that has any bearing on morality. The holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. What the Supreme Court is doing now is legal. That has no bearing on whether it’s moral.
“Vigilantism” means breaking the law;
That is an insufficient definition of vigilantism.
The premeditation is unfortunately what got her. Now, if she accidentally bumped into him while driving a car, however...
She did the right thing with forethought and premeditation? How dare she!
Thank you for your comment. It realy helped me decide on the clickbaiteness of the posted link.
As usual, when the title asks a question, the answer is no.
