Hans Reiser in Court Today
An anonymous reader writes "Hans Reiser has pled not guilty to murdering his wife and invoked his right to a speedy trial. He will attend a hearing today where the judge will decide if the state has a case " We had covered this story back when it had first broke; and for those of you playing catch-up, Hans is the author of ReiserFS.
She's just stuck under a pile of recycled newspapers and is trying to make a baking soda rocket at the moment.
Seriously, I'm hoping for one of those "fleeing bride" moments has taken place and that this hasn't gone into a murder scenario. But - odds are for a fatal outcome. Who would probably be the question of the moment.
Why would they? They only care if the woman was white + blonde + jailbait (and-or pregnant).
That or Hans just isn't a very interesting sort of guy.
"rather than to exact emotionally driven revenge through punishment."
... oh wait....
Yes , people should never get emotional when perhaps someone they love has been murdered. What fools. And punishment? Pah , who needs it, thats just so middle ages. Peace and love man... Yes , rehabilitation is where its at as the triumpant success of this liberal policy over the last few decades has shown
What is it with certain people that they somehow think punishment is beneath us? Why do they cling to this pathetic "rehabilitation" mantra as if its the panacea to all criminal issues, as if everyone can be turned into a loving useful member of society if they've just been hugged by enough simpering wolly liberals?
If someone ever killed a member of my family I'd be in the queue flick the ON switch to the chair and to hell with the self important , self righteous opinions of people like you.
He's a guy who apparently owned neither a GPS NOR a 406 EPIRB.
That $1000.000 EPIRB would have saved his life. Well, the $100 GPS woulda helped to.

Your post is a bunch of commie "the state matters more than the individual" crap. If we ignore the feelings of the individuals in favor of the state you will breed resentment of the state by the individuals. Since when does a crime committed against *me* only concern the state? Since when did the devastated victims become a non-entity in the search of justice? For *whom* are we seeking justice anyway?!?!
Rant off...
