A Japanese hairstylist has been sentenced to 17.5 years in prison and 20 strokes of the cane in Singapore this week for what the judge described as a “brutal and cruel” sexual assault and rape of a drunk student five years ago.

        Murder is inhumane so let’s cut off murderers’ ears without anaesthesia, that’s more humane than murder so it’s all good.

        Or maybe cut off a limb or two. Or maybe put them on drugs and torture them for a few months.

        We are such an ethical nation.

          He filmed the assault and sent it to his friend. The sexual assault of a drunk student. This isn’t imprisonment for weed possession, what the hell would a humane punishment be in this case?

            humane punishment is 17 years of prison.

            Inhumane is multilating this guys flesh and destroying his bowels.

            I would personally think going back to the justice system where you chop of hands for stealing something isn’t a priority.

            Eye for an eye has never worked.

            Generally most people like to think they are better than murders and rapists, so sinking to their level isnt ideal.
