Damn shame, I've got an amazingly sexy picture of my wife's ass right next to this comment, but you still missed it:

This is not intended to be a slight on them by any means, just that what they perceive to relieve their pain will over time in no way compensate and may even increase their feelings of guilt/pain or whatnot. Revenge in my experience certainly feels good, but I don't know how effective it is as a healing mechanism and certainly not after such a protracted period of time.

The mother confirmed my comments in her interview.
sexy picture - check
insightful comment - check
confirmation of comment's validity by the victim - check
have a pleasant evening, I'm off to finish my thesis...
BTW, I think you should look up the definition of retributive justice before claiming to be a proponent of it. I suggest starting with Kant. Your comments indicate you are a supporter of vengeance. They are two different concepts. If you were a retributionist, you would have to weigh the negatives of Tookie's life against the positives...and then you would join the ranks of the category I named that hinge their opposition to his death on the net benefit he has produced since his incarceration...a position I hold...and I'm almost positive you don't want to be in the same category as me
