You really do need to get educated about mental illness, and it does not apply to persons with different beliefs than your self.
If anyone reads the US Constitution's Bill of Rights then anyone can see the many rights that apply to protecting criminals against the lynch-mobs and from the law. See particularly Amendments 4, 5, 6, 7 and Amendment 8,
link HERE.
So by this then all those that singed onto the US Bill of Rights must have been mentally ill too - not.
In fact the Bill of Rights was particularly drafted to prevent the demands of fault finders and accusers like your self.
Where in the heck do you get off telling me I need to educate myself. I have every right to speak my opinion. I do believe your mentally ill. You have higher reguards for criminals then you do the victims. I would say that to anyone that thought convicted criminals were more important then the victims.
You can twist and spin my words all you want. I'm not accusing anyone of a crime. I'm not talking about lynch-mobs or the rights of criminal getting a fair trial, etc. I'm replying about, YOUR cold hearted remarks that was clearly directed towards the victims of a crime.

Let me be clear, I'm talking about VICTIMS giving a impact statement and victim's rights to do so. Victims have every right to give a impact statement in court.
A victim's impact statement aren't givin until after the criminal is found guilty. So the family members have every right to give a impact statement for their love one that was killed by the hands of another. We also have a law that's called, Freedom of Speech.
You tell the family members of a love one that was killed by a drunk driver, they can't make a impact statement.
You tell the family members of a love one that was killed by a child molester, they can't make a impact statement.
You tell the family members of a love one that was killed by a stray bullet, they can't make a impact statement.
You tell the family members of a love one that was killed by a stranger, they can't make a impact statement.
The list goes on and on. So go ahead, You tell all the victims of a crime that their voice doesn't matter.
If you don't understand where I'm coming from, you never will.
