Kallang Slashing Incident

I must be the slowest person around but I only heard about the slashing incident at Kallang yesterday from a friend. And I only bothered to go research about the news 5 minutes ago.

If you, like me, have yet to hear about this slashing incident... You should read this:

I don't know how to feel after reading this. I don't how to react. I think I feel sad... But I feel anger too. There's so much feelings in me. I just can't put my head into it.

One person died and 3 others had their lives in danger. The culprits are set to be sentenced to death. But really, I never understood the death sentence.

What's the point of it anyway? So what if you kill the person who's killed another person? Will it bring back the life of the other person? Funny how they should think the death sentence is actually useful...

I don't see the point of a death sentence. Could you, by killing the culprits, bring back the life of that one man and the future of that 3 men?

Could you, by killing the culprits, bring back the past happy life for these 4 men?

Taking Ang Jun Heng, the 19 year old NSmen who was slashed as an example... Could you bring back his previous health? Could you bring back his normal life? Could you erase all these bad memories for him... just by killing those culprits?

My point is... As much as I think those culprits, better known as beasts, deserve to die, I think it's too easy for them. I think death is too easy for them.

Death of those beasts would not erase anything for the men who's been affected by their moment of stupidity and violence. Death of those beasts will not change anything at all.

In fact... Nothing will. Because life is fragile as such.

Toodles seem too happy for this post.

I shall end off with..

Bye.

of course not. the death sentence is meant to deter civilian from conducting major crimes, to frighten them enough for them not to flaunt the laws, not for vengence girl.
