Of course a victim of crime is entitled to express the sentiment that I've titled this work. The sentiment, perpetrators of crime don't deserve to breathe fresh air, which was, once again expressed by another tortured Dad, voicing torment at something crazy done to his child. As I caught the news clip exclamation by a Texas Dad hurling the invective into the principles of our human condition and existence. As a prisoner having experienced its exploitation by politicians in pursuit of speculative political power endemically at the expense of the pain of a victim of crime, I understand its visceral origins, nonetheless The Social Contract of our American Society isn't structured nor constructed on visceral formulations, which is what our presumptive political leaders would be imparting to US the people if they weren't craven and opportunistic. Human behavior or activity is well reasoned or it isn't and therefore, insane. The Social Contract anticipates both states of our behavior and capabilities accordingly we have gleaned an idea, a concept, a practice called Law. So we, Society have Laws and I as a prisoner under the laws and jurisdiction of The Commonwealth of Virginia, exist within its definitions. For the purposes of this work, I'm imprisoned under the convictions of armed robbery and the use of a firearm and the point being, as much as process of law is conveniently distorted by politicians and the visceral utterances of the victim of crime, I am not convicted because of whether I did or committed what I was accused of, but on sole process that the people of Virginia or The Social Contract, convinced a panel or jury of other Virginians that based on what was presented as evidence within the logic of supporting the accusation or charge. In plain talk no one is in prison or convicted because of deed. And the reason and proof is simple, every single definition in for example Virginia's criminal code 18.2 are acts committed by Virginia's Government and the humans legally personifying or embodying it. Which within The Social Contract we experience as the tyranny of the majority against the individual and on the inverse when I as an individual am prosecuted for alleged acts against the proscriptions of Virginia Code 18.2, it is seen as tyranny of the individual against the majority. So for example despite the fact the supreme law of these United States is The Constitution with it's circumstances. Likewise The Commonwealth of Virginia has its Constitution governing existence of all under its jurisdiction. Still we see, observe and experience all sorts of behaviors by Officials representing the State that not only are contrary to commonsense but also specifically at odds with our baseline understanding and comprehension of The Constitution. Yet for the purposes of ruling and governing a people, is legal and accepted as good and beneficial. When politicians, our legislators and presumptive leaders, exploit visceral sentiments by victims of crime who understandably can be as visceral as they therapeutically need to, still politicians or leaders who understand that the body politic or society isn't a formulation conveying vindictiveness shouldn't then be amplifying or endearing such sentiments, knowing that visceral ravings are contradictory, antagonistic and asocial. Just as we don't see governance legitimizing lynch mobs, kangaroo courts, extra-judicial acts, summary retaliatory acts and all those opportunistic expediencies that share the inevitable historical event horizon, because it reveals that The Social Contract or Society is tenuous faith.
