In 2015, Billingsley was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with 16 years suspended, after he pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense, court records show.

The Maryland sex offender registry shows he was released from prison in October. The registry classified him in “tier 3,” which includes the most serious charges and requires offenders to register for life.

    Yeah, a perfect world. I agree. I just feel that people who have killed just because they want to,the people that kill their whole family or 30 kids in a school can’t just sit their and live, it might not be the best type of life but its still something their victims don’t have.

    Im mainly really only referring to cases like Chad Doerman. It is an execution case and its not the only one of its type.

    Also I forgot to add. This guy in OP’s post is also a candidate for execution. A serial rapist with a long history of his crime now guilty of murdering a inoccent person. I mean what the fuck did she do to deserve that? he gets to keep on breathing? Fuck that! the system is broken and people suck.

      The fact of the matter is that you either waste a huge amount of money and time in the process of rigorously defining that category of who deserves the death penalty, or you do literally anything else with those resources.

      And frankly, I don’t think the biggest issue with the prison system right now is a small number of people who deserve death instead being alive, so there are plenty of other things that I’d rather invest in. For instance, the fact that security is so lax that being raped in prison is so common that people literally make casual jokes about it.

      Simply put, this world where the justice system just knows who deserves to die and never makes any mistakes ever does not exist, whether you like that or not.

        See you make it sound like its such a hard decisions. Rigorously define the death penalty? The fuck? You either meet the standard for execution or you don’t, see the case of Chad Doerman (my standard for the death penalty).

        Yes the prison system needs updating but im not talking about prisons.

        Not asking for that perfect world im asking for a world where a person that commits the most serious of crimes, no longer enjoy their life.

          And I’m saying that what you’re wanting is a fairy tale and doesn’t actually exist (or at the very least, costs a stupid amount of money and resources that could be much better used by doing literally anything else).

          I don’t think we’re gonna get much further here, so respectfully, I’m going to move on.

            Its not a fairy tale, what a fairy tale is you think you gonna get funding to stop people in prison from getting turned out. Not gonna happen.

            People don’t usually say “im done with this” but the ones that do are pretty pretentious. You think one thing, I think another, it conversion but your just being… whats the word im looking for? Oh yeah, a dick.

            Their is a dark disgusting part of human society that deserve to take dirt nap in my mind its a simple process for a case already litigated to the point that even a person in a coma could tell they did it with malicious intent.

            You are looking to be a noble person with only the most noble ideals, “I am noble for not letting this killer be himself killed”. How noble of you noble one.

              I think we should start executing all the people with your views on criminal justice. Your kind are diseased and I don’t think you have a place in an ideal society.

              That’s obviously farcical to make a point, but do you see why people may not want to encourage the state monopoly on violence to so easily apply to whoever you want?

                And my crime? A view point? When I’m talking about the worst of the worst. I think you need to really think about what you just said. Killing someone for expressing a view point? There is no place in society for a person such as yourself.

                Im not asking the government to have carte blanche on killing people for things like stealing from the store or even someone who killed someone in the heat of passion. Im talking about the real cunts.

                Stop being so ready to kill bro, calm your tits.

                  I believe, genuinely, that you’re a killer waiting for a bad enough day, solely because of the views you express here. You do not seem to be an emotionally mature person who lives in the real world, and I would absolutely classify you as a threat to society. I mean this with all sincerity - society would be better off without you and those that think like you do.

                  This is sort of the inherent problem with the mindset you have - anyone can be classified as “the real cunts” because people don’t work the way you think they do. I would never act on the above because it is wrong, but the more you empower a blind system the more likely the net of “real cunts” will broaden, which is what you seem to be missing.

                  'kill all the bad ones" becomes “wow there sure are a lot of bad ones” very quickly.

                    You make it so personal, using your logic, I could say the same as you. Your immediate though is that I’m a “killer in waiting”? Thats a pretty intense stance you are taking their for nothing more than a conversation. You do understand how society works right? People have conversations about topics and you are so strongly aposse to me that you are ready to make what I say seem, like worse? Think about that. Hmmm I think their is a larger issue at play here.

                    Whats up? I’m not being a dick I genuinely want to know why you use such strong words to outline your argument?

                    We could share the same ideals on other topics but this is what you think defines me?

                    I think you have other reasons to lash out. We disagree on this but im not calling you a killer for saying I should be killed for simply expressing a view point.

                    Breath mate, relax.

              To be frank, you’re sounding more and more like a child (and spelling like one, I might add), and I’m losing any interest in continuing to speak with you. If you think every stranger on the internet is obligated to spend an unlimited amount of time on a conversation that’s devolving into playground insults, I’m afraid that I simply do not care if someone who can’t grasp the idea that the world is a bit more complicated than they imagine thinking that I’m a pretentious dick.

              So with that, enjoy prattling on with someone who will listen to you and match your base level of maturity, because I am not one of them.
