Do you believe our society is currently programmed to victim blame or we are already doing the best we can to handle malicious people?

    In my mind the law requires the equality of us all (no one should be above the law and also no one should be more targeted by said law). So, no ‘malicious people’ should not be punished more than other people committing the same ‘crime’.

    If it is to be respected, any law needs to be fair. If it is not, bad things will happen. That’s one of the reasons laws can be amended or removed and… why they should be when they aren’t fair.

    Edit: typos.

      I agree that laws should be applied equally to everyone and I would never suggest otherwise. In this context, malicious would mean intent. So in legal terminology it would be the difference between 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree murder, or manslaughter.
