Idk if that’s true. But definitely amplified by social media.
The only and most important argument against capital punishment is wrongful conviction. Even one is too many when it comes to this matter.
That subway stabber case a few years ago in Taipei might be a case for capital punishment. The evidence was clear-cut, the offender admitted to his deeds and he even wished to be put to death. But if there is just an iota of doubt, killing someone in the name of justice shouldn’t be the way to go.
Even in a world where people are competent at evaluating evidence, evidence is getting more difficult to evaluate. Eye witness testimony has always been unreliable. Confessions are suspect given the issues with the system. Now you throw in things like deep fakes getting better and better, and you can’t trust your lying eyes.
What’s the right thing to do in this situation? Maybe one day we will be so enlightened as a species that kids no longer bully other kids, but until then i fail to see how such a weak ass response as crying in-front of your kid after they got bullied is the right thing to do.
The kid handled it well. If it wasn’t Chinese boy it would have been anything else. Kids bully each other for the dumbest things. He didn’t let it get to him and had an answer.
I pretty much never cry - not even when I drilled through my finger - but crying because of your kids pain isn’t weak ass; there’s nothing wrong with showing emotions to your kid.
I fail to see a big difference there, welling up/ crying. same thing. Imo crying infront of his kid about it is teaching his kid not to deal with this, and instead to become a victim.
“I sadly know there is no law I can pass that will protect him fully. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to tell him. 4/13”
Well that’s even worse, without being able to pass a law to stop children bullying he can’t even think of anything to say to his kid to help him stand up for himself and deal with the issue.
