> Incomprehensible to you that this a sincerely held belief? In fact I have been the victim of violent crimes, and I have given statements advocating for maximum leniency.

Well, I won't call you a liar. I've seen people do this before, and I've always been just... confused.

> I want what is best for my community, and retribution is not.

I think this is the crux of the disagreement.

My belief is that retribution is the immune system of civilization.
