| Mise said: When the time is more based on vengeance and punishment than fairness, rationality and a possibility of redemption, that quote becomes just as BS as it's maker, regardless of the crime. As far as I'm concerned, criminals still have rights, no matter what they've done. As for this man, he has a right to serve a sentence that's fair to everyone. |
Ok... so imagine your assets worth 5M$. Some guy just completely destroys it. Boom... gone.
I'm going crazy here and assume you'll want your money back. So you'll charge him.
In the end, you win the claim and he'll have to pay 1.5M$.
Following your thoughts, even though you were going to loose 3.5M$, that's a harsh sentence, and the poor other guy that make you lose 3.5M$ can not pay it, so you would forgive him the other part and accept 50.000$. All set and done.
I don't know what to say when I read things like this...
