If somebody seriously disabled you....

[Kerry]

Deliberately. NOT by accident

I'm talking blinded you, made you lose a limb, put you in a wheelchair.... what punishment would you want them to receive?

Are you an eye for an eye person? Would a jail sentence be fine? What if they walk free with a slapped wrist? A fine? Would you want vengance?

Take a minute to imagine a life in a wheelchair or blind then answer....

[King Gizzard]

First of all..obviously alot of compensation...then a lengthy jail term..and not in one of those easy prisons

[GypsyGoth]

If I couldn't forgive them and move on with my life, I think I'd want them to die.

I would make sure whatever they had done to me, happened to them, but add a bit more pain. If I couldnt do it myself because of my disability, I would use the compensation money that I would also fleece from them to pay someone else to do it.

[Jordan.]

I was reading a news story the other day about a man in Iran throwing acid in a womans face blinding her and obviously disfiguring all her face. Well anyway they granted her permission to drop Acid in his eyes! :o

Definetely think that is going to far, just makes you as low as the person who did it to you tbh.

[Tom4784]

I'd want justice to be served and perhaps som compensation to make up for loss of earnings and such. I'm not one to dwell on things at all so I'd try to move on rather then concern myself with revenge.

[Locke.]

Considering I spent 4 years paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, I think you should all take notice to what I've got to say.

You would want the person to go through hell. Especially if they purposely pushed you from a window with the intent to kill you, and then fleed the country.

A jail term. I'd like to think I adhere to a bit of a turn the other cheek philosophy so I wouldn't seek physical vengeance but a lenghty jail term would serve both as punishment and a chance for the guy to rehabilitate.

I've lost count of the amount of stories like this I read where in the end the two would reconcile years and years later. It's a great, positive thing, it does happen, and IMO it's worth it.

[CharlieO]

I would want money to get as much surgery as possible in order to possibly fix what happened. Other than that I don't see how having that person injured is going to make me any better.

But if it was someone who did it a lot for fun or something and it hadn't been a one time thing, I would want to make sure it wouldn't happen to another person.

[joeysteele]

I honestly don't know, I am a forgiving person and it may also depend on whether I knew the perrson or not.

I really don't know how I'd react but I hope it would be on the lines of Dezzy's post on here,that seems the nearest to what I would want to see and do.

[BB_Eye]

I'd like to see him punished neither for the purposes of rehabilitation or the common good nor to satiate whatever hatred for my assailant I might have, but for the purposes of justice and retribution and it has nothing to do with me. I would only change my mind if that person, for whatever reason, lacked the capacity to choose. A life sentence should do it.

[Boothy]

I think I'd just want some financial compensation.

Making their life hell wouldn't benefit me in the slightest tbh.

[Kerry]

I bet it's very hard to forgive if someone, say, drives at you to purposely harm you and you end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life while they serve a year or 3 for GBH or ABH or whatever one or both it is in prison. Many would be so bitter :/

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

As a disabled person since birth, here's my take on this subject, yeah i would want revenge on the person, but at the same time, that would not make the disability go away, so i think if had, had ended up in wheelchair, through accident or some thing, i think i would try & move on.

[MTVN]

I suppose I'd want compensation but I doubt that could ever make up for being rendered disabled. I'd want to meet them I think and if they genuinely regretted it, or had been rehabilitated or whatever, then I'd rather they were let out I think, I cant see how much satisfaction I'd get from knowing a genuinely remorseful person is locked up.

I suppose you could never know until it happened but that's what I'd like to think I'd do anyway

[Doogle]

I hold grudges over stupid things at times, but with some things I'm really forgiving. If it was one of my best friends I'd probably be an idiot and forgive them, but with anyone else I'd demand they pay me loads so I can help get better (depending on what was wrong with me) then I'd get them locked up in one of those dodgy prisons filled with rapists.

[Ninastar]

i'd probably just give them evils my whole life. unless i was blind. i'd still try to though
