I believe that you should always be able to voice your personal opinion with regard to what the sentencing of a convicted criminal should be or should have been; without fearing being subject to a wrongful death lawsuit!
For example if you thought a criminal should have got the death penalty and they didn't, but you said they should have, then they kill themselves and people blame you because you said that, and bang you get a wrongful death lawsuit.
I don't know if it has ever happened. But it looks like the structure is in place whereby it could happen. And it also looks like a wall of fear has been put in place with regard to such to prevent you from even uttering one word as to what you believe the sentencing should be or should have been?
There definitely is a media trend to want to demonize those who said that the sentencing should have been greater.

As if that is the good shepherd belief? "You can not give the maximum sentencing to so and so because I say so and that makes me the good shepherd here."
That is a complete delusion by those who profess the weakness of the politically correct?
In reality the Good shepherd seeks to prevent members of its flock, if you will, from engaging in criminal behavior or condoning it. But lets look at that a little more. If you view your people as sheep then what is the best way to condition them to be good? A sheep being passive in their able to learn? The way you condition them to be good is through accurate justice. In other words you can't create a grey area of understanding in terms of right or wrong to someone that has a foggy notion about everything?
And there is another good point. The desire to believe that all of those who you are teaching have a clear understand of right and wrong and the potential to have a clear understanding of right and wrong. So false hope you are applying a standard to some people that they will not live up to.
You really get no more good from a religious education than what you were when you started?

We also see this trend in the false idealism of wanting to normalize the terms which define mental defects. As if you only said that person who can't learn was normal as everyone else was it would give them hope and they would behave correctly? It doesn't work that way. Instead you have normalized their bad behavior.
