The owner of the meat processing plant was ordered to pay a whopping $1143 to a teen who lost his hand in a meat grinder
Whoever was responsible for letting a 17 year old within range of a meat grinder in the first place should be fucking executed, along with their boss and boss’s boss, and boss’s boss’s boss. That is an appropriate punishment for permanently mutilating a child to try and make money.
At the very very least they should be required to pay him the wages of 40 hours of work every week for the rest of his life, and to make sure to save that up to set aside in case they go out of business.
Idk about execution, but jail time seems much more appropriate than $1000. That’s so pitiful, they might as well have fined him for messing up operations with losing his hand.
Still like the commuted death penalty China uses for situations like this. Execution, but if you give away enough of your wealth and treat your workers right it’s reduced to jail time. If you’re caught doing it again in that time period they just move up your execution date.
Based off what came up for the business, it looks like it’s a very amateur operation owned and run by one guy. Screams small business tyrant who thinks violating child labor laws in order to save money is somehow him doing a favor for the kids.
How do you delineate execution vs re-education/imprisonment though? Wouldn’t the latter make more sense or are you implying that these types are beyond hope (very possible)
Well it would have to be a pre/post-revolutionary reorganization of the State, the socio-economic system, and the criminal justice system to even begin an analysis based off of the possible crime. I would point to the section in the comment of the post as a possible start to penal code reform in a post-revolutionary state.
