A while ago a bloke was convicted of killing his ex girlfriend, her kids, and her new lover.
He got life, which means, in this country, 21 years without parole.
He has only served 1 year of his sentence and has been diagnosed as having leukemia. He requires life saving surgery which is a bone marrow transplant. This is going to cost the NZ tax payer NZ$1 million on top of the cost to house and feed this guy for the following 21 years @ 1200 per week = about $1,310,410.
Question: should this guy get the treatment to extend his life or not.
NZ has many people on waiting lists for life saving surgery who are law abiding citizens and some of them will not get it and some will have to find their own money to fund such treatment. This bastard took the lives of four people and was found guilty. Should he get the surgery.
I say no.
By not giving him the surgery he will die earlier and the money we save from that could go towards some one more deserving.
I believe that in killing someone in cold blood violates their rights and therefore the murderer should have all their human rights removed.
Prison should be prison. The removal from society and removal of all their rights and privileges under common law.
It annoys me that my taxes could go toward saving a murders life when he did not pare his victims. Not to mention the victims families.
Prison should be prison. Warmth shelter food.
Where is the death penalty when you need it
