Good thing he was white, or justice would have been served.

I hope this news gets in the head of all child murderers going about their lives out there, unpunished. Your time can’t come soon enough, you’ll never be safe, you sick fucks!

Far too many use Christianity to hide their inner demons.

What's the point of Jesus' blood covering all sins if you've got nothing to cover-up?

jayknight , to worldnews in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

Surely there’s a better way to write that title.

moistclump ,

Agreed. Had to click in to understand. Maybe that’s part of the point of bad titles. Anyway, here’s the subtitle which makes more sense:

A retired US church pastor who presided nearly half a century ago at the funeral of a kidnapped eight-year-old girl has been charged with her murder.

DogMuffins , to news in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

This is just so evil.

some_guy , to news in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

At least he was caught before he died of old age. Better late justice than no justice. Also, the headline should read “Pastor… CONFESSED to her murder”

afraid_of_zombies , to news in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

Religious leaders and hurt children. The story never changes.

Derproid , to worldnews in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

Is this really world news?

It is if you live in Asia

Malaysian here. If UK news isn't world news then something horrible must have happened last night.

Sidebar says “News from around the world” not “News impacting the world”. If you don’t like it, down vote it and move on; or better yet, start a new community that you see fit. This is Lemmy after all, and anyone can create a community/an instance to shape the fediverse to their hearts’ content.

the_kalash ,

Nope.

jocanib ,

Not if you’re USian. But apparently ‘politics’ only exists for USians. Confusing, I know. Probably best not to worry about it. If you’re not interested, just scroll on by.

Why negotiate? NK can have him.

One can’t say they live in a civilized country if it still has the death penalty.

That’s funny coming from an American. I guess they are more civilized than you guys.

That’s the joke.

neonfire , to worldnews in Ghana parliament votes to abolish death penalty

Good, death is an escape from punishment. If you want someone to suffer for their crimes, keep them alive and miserable in jail. The only hell is the one we live in now.

SheeEttin ,

Yeah, but nobody should be sentenced to suffering. Rehabilitation and restitution, yes.

Ignacio ,

Rehabilitation and restitution

That's what the Spanish Constitution says in its article 25, and I agree.

neonfire ,

In general I agree, but the existence of the death penalty at all is not rehab or restitution, but to cause suffering. I don’t believe in eye for an eye, but if the goal is punishment, death is only an escape from punishment, whereas keeping them alive and in jail for as long as possible is to me way more of a punishment.

MyOpinion , to news in Travis King: How the US negotiates with North Korea

What about personal responsibility? They chose to defect to North Korea. I don’t get this.

Drusas , to news in Travis King: How the US negotiates with North Korea

He went there willingly.

I know, he was in the military and so he might know things North Korea wants to know, and therefore it's better to get him back before it's all tortured out of him.

But at the same time, he went there willingly.

aeternum , to worldnews in Ghana parliament votes to abolish death penalty

Death penalty has no place today. It's barbaric, and, at least in america, it's like 5% of those executed are innocent. I don't know the exact number, but that's not good enough. Imagine waking up one day to be executed and you did nothing wrong.

qaz ,

You can always release somebody from prison, you can’t pick them up from the afterlife.
