A bunch of dudes were melting down when this was posted on another thread.
Because it doesn't make a difference.
So a woman murdered by a man is somehow more murdered than one murdered by another woman, a sister, a lover?
This is an arbitrary distinction. Someone was murdered, why they were murdered doesn't change the fact they were murdered, and frankly if you're going to say it will change sentencing, it shouldn't.
Murder is murder, the end.
Yes it should change sentencing, because the primary goal of the justice system should be rehabilitation, not punishment, and there are absolutely people who have commited murder and are capable of being fully rehabilitated, and those that can't, and they should not be sentenced the same.
Or do you seriously think, for example, people who end up murdering their abusers out of revenge or desperation should actually receive the same punishment as someone who murders a random person purely because they hate something about their identity, or an abuser who murder their victim ?
