"Hi, I'm Majase, and I approve of this message, er method."You got the balls (and lack of empathy) to do a violent crime? Then shut the hell up and take it like a man when it's your turn to experience it "first-hand". |

She told him she wouldn't marry him so he ruined her for life? She can't see, she suffered unimaginable pain, and we're not supposed to react emotionally?Hell with that. The man should be blinded AND castrated. |

It's not about what he "deserves," it's about what will help prevent a recurrence of that crime and other crimes. And don't give me that deterrence nonsense, countries with the highest murder rates (except Iraq, which currently has the highest, because it's a bit of an exception) have these sorts of primitive justice systems. It's amazing how many barbarians there are on this site, in allegedly civilized countries. |

The problem with this eye for an eye crap is that it's not based on logic, it's based on an emotional response. Blinding him will not accomplish any rational goal that could not be accomplished just as effectively or more effectively by incarceration. Many people are under the false impression that the point of the justice system is to punish criminals, when it ought to be to protect society. |

Hammurabi's Code. But I agree that this is unprecedented in places like Iran, what I mean is normally the woman is considered at fault for not being with a male family member to escort her to begin with. |

This is how punishment should be in my opinion.If you go out and murder someone, SCREW putting them in jail for forty years. You murder them in the same way. If it's rape, they get raped. If it's torture, they get tortured. The golden rule. |

WOW ... They treat there women like poo over there and why I don't agree with all the crazy goings on in these countries or understand the reason for it it is about time these men got treated the way they treat the countries women, but over all this is sad. This is not what most would consider a "civilization" |

An eye for an eye may be barbaric, but it is highly effective, and very just. (I guarantee if US cities started shooting some murders and gang members, the crime rates would plummet. I have some mixed feelings about it, but I more agree with it than disagree with it. |

I, personally, like the "eye for an eye" rule. The only time I don't think it's right is when, let's say, a man's son gets killed, and the killer has to have his son get killed. |

to be fair, this man was living in a society fully aware of the punishments attributed to violent crimes, and he chose to commit one anyway. When you are completely aware of the potential consequences of your actions, you must take responsibility for those consequences. We see the system as barbaric and as a result, we choose not to live there. He deserves the punishment because he knew what the punishment was before committing the crime. |

Sixclaws, theres a difference between being kind of a jerk (agressive), and unable to function socially (behavior problem). kind of obvious, i'd think. I stand with mylostdog (lol!) in that he should obviously be dealt with seriously, but not an eye for an eye. It's so uncivilized. |

Ugh. As horrible horrible horrible as what he did is, I think the concept of 'eye for an eye' is very barbaric |

As a Christian I believe that forgiveness is an essential aspect of living a good life, but I feel it's the womans job to forgive the man and the governments job to punish him. |

If this happened in the UK, he'd be in a prison with a widescreen tv, fairly comfy bed, decent food and a gym |

I agree. Governments are flawed, but in the absence of a defender, the government acted in a way that was right and fair (to them). It's really no different from here. Our government is flawed too, but they hand down sentences that they feel is right and fair. It just comes down to WHAT it is that is right and fair and these things will always have ties to the sensibilities of the people. |
