Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

You're not describing a criminal, that's an ex-convict
Tell that to "ex-convicts" who can't vote.
Can't believe you're being downvoted. "Same as before...execution for significant theft"
Oh but ok, it's cool, we'll have voting rights after. No way someone could be reclassified as a capital criminal via the exact mechanism in the OP.
I mean it's laudable to not make permanent second class citizens, but it misses the point that you can toss people in a horrendous prison system if your prison system isn't designed for rehabilitation or treating people with dignity.
Ok, so i didn't dot every I & cross every T when i was responding to the guy. The OP was talking about when you exit jail, but while in it, but fair enough regardless.
What i basically was saying is the current legal system already hands out verdicts, punishments, & whatnot. The person i was responding to likely doesn't doubt those, so he shouldn't doubt them just because people's rights as humans will be respected.
