Yeah you are right about the money, you dont get the point you cant simply hang someone without a special law like tADA, POTA etc courts could only work in accordance with law and cant do whatever they or public "think" is right.Now the problem with laws like TADA & POTA is that they are misused, people liek you and me are safe but think of
special people who are then targeted with these laws like people belonging to a particular religion (Eg Muslims), People belonging to certain area (J&K, North East India),
Just give a thought about these people who would be targeted using laws and I am saying so because this has happened 15 year old innocent Muslim teenager was charged under TADA and once you are charged with these anti terrorist laws God save you
Plz for heavens sake dont compare US to India bloody place has no human laws since 9/11 Homeland Security could literally Screw anyone without any reason
Just place urslelf instead of the people from north east etc charge with POTA TADA and u will realize what I am saying
Every thing has two sides u are seeing only one side of the coin
Well , I am not in favor of death penalty as such.Neither do I support any intense barbaric punishments specially, since they are inhumane too. However , I am strictly against the policies of such expensive treatments given to Terrorists who don't even belong to our country.
Secondly , whatever crimes people like these do , are way more inhumane.
Kasab killed dozens of innocent people , w/o any reasons other than hatred itself.And he was caught red-handed at it.
Also , killing the person who did it will discourage others from doing it again. What is the reason behind punishments you think ?? To ensure it doesn't happens again.To discourage people.
I understand your point of view , putting myself in equation . Many innocent lives will too be held and ruined from strict acts like this. But if you will not strengthen the actions , don't you think the criminals will escape easily ??
You see , both ways innocent people get victimized. They fall prey to crime in either way. If you don't punish the criminals , then crime will rise , and if you punish each and every criminal then some innocent might fall-in too.
Now , what do you think is right ?? Its up to the individual's choice .
For me better laws are more efficient , since innocent lives are stake in both cases.SO why not to ensure that criminals get punished , at the cost of innocent lives. Rather than criminals not getting punished , still at the cost of innocent lives.
I know I messed up couple of lines above , but I hope you understand what I am trying to put forward.
I clearly understand the other face of coin you are trying to show us. But , the question here is about the judiciary system and the weak govt. at the center.
Somebody mentioned it earlier , Let me quote it again.
"When the crime is waging war against the state death penalty is a necessary evil and must be followed."
Also,
Luxury of life imprisonment is for states that are effective. Partly efficient states , with corrupt bureaucracy do not deserve that luxury.
IMHO , they should have killed Kasab after all the court proceedings and donated his body parts. Although , sentimentally it will be quite hard to accept that donation for anyone considering that will come from a terrorist. But at least it will help some life. Anyways , its just an opinion.
^we will know the truth after "no easy day" gets published.
Update:It is said that the seals feared that laden will be carrying a bomb or boobytrap so they shot him.
The seals didn't feared entering such a hostile Foreign airspace as such , but they feared the Booby-trap ???
Btw , can you share some info about that "no easy day" thing ?
