Emmatran: I don't think punishment should be about satisfying our emotional responses. The family's words feel like they're coming from a place of anguish rather than thought
Noahsantosxo: another attempt at justifying state-sanctioned murder by romanticizing revenge
Larsenadam: don't think the death penalty solves anything, just creates more families who are emptier than their kid's killer ever could be
Elinranaxo: how does this family reconcile their anger with seeking punishment? doesn't it just fuel more violence?
Diazrayan: can't believe they're still trying to justify that kind of language in public. her age keeps getting mentioned but it feels like that's just for sympathy now, not really about holding
Wraith Kite: this is just so heavy 💔, not sure death penalty solves anything though
Jonas: i'm still trying to figure out what they mean by "devoid of feelings and emptiness inside" since he allegedly strangled their daughter to death
Kimava: feels terrible that Celeste's family is so consumed by anger they're advocating for more violence
Aria: they're saying that, but can anyone truly empty themselves of all emotions? seems like a convenient cop-out
Shadow Corvid: I don't think death is ever "perfect" for anyone. What I'd want to know is how they plan on addressing the root issues that led him here in the first place
Ninadumontxo: hard to read their words but I'm not sure 'devoid of feelings' is a fair description of someone who clearly had something go so wrong
