Η Roula Pispirigou allegedly committed one of the most heinous crimes we have seen in decades. Obviously, if there is a conviction by the court, the punishment should be exemplary, always in accordance with the word and spirit of the law.
“Medes”, “Crones” and all kinds of child killers, we have had and will have in the future. Fortunately, they are now being taken care of by our modern legal culture, whatever objections and doubts we may have about its effectiveness. Which we have.
However, we mistakenly believed that at least we were done with the villagers with torches and rakes, who want to take the law into their own hands and judge the perpetrators themselves, hanging them in squares.
The viewers and viewers of Tatiana's, of Zenas and of Angeliki, they attempted to lynch family members of Roula Pispirigou, yesterday in Patras, as soon as it became known - not the court's decision - the prosecution for manslaughter with intent.
«He fooled us», they shouted - some even holding their young children - before demanding: «hanging in St George Square», «open the door to take the law into our own hands», «hang it», «they have eaten three children, give them to the people».
Η #Roulapyrugu allegedly killed her three children but has so far not confessed to killing them...
All those people gathered outside her house in #Patterns have murdered - without «falsely» - the souls and consciences of their own children... #Roula_pisperigou pic.twitter.com/NIhBJEz8Iw- prezatv (@prezatv) March 30, 2022

Their only mention of the three innocent souls was to include them in phrases of vigilante justice and torturous death.
They gathered with their cell phones outside the family's house, banging on the doors, trying to lynch the mother of the alleged child killer and taking out selfie... why «they were fooled».
Because they didn't understand anything.
All of them, innocent.
The state and its structures, innocent.
The bloodthirsty TV shows, innocent.
It was not even a few hours before the public debate on the reintroduction of the death penalty, with ruling party officials seizing the “opportunity”.
First and foremost, the former Secretary General for Anticrime Policy and champion of direct assignments, Sofia Nikolaou, who wondered if «there is a punishment for such a crime».
This was followed, with relatively greater clarity, by another member of the Southwest.
«There is no penalty in the Criminal Code that corresponds to this monstrous crime. No «penitentiary» can punish a mother who kills her children in cold blood», the “prosecutor” wrote in a post.” Kostas Kyranakis.

Life sentences should be life sentences. #Patterns

Three innocent souls... I wonder if there's a punishment for such a crime?;

At a time when society is struggling for its survival, some will attempt to exploit our most brutal instincts.
And the question is simple: Do we let them?;
P.S. Obviously this text, like many others that preceded and will follow, will suffer the fate of the recent anti-war texts on Ukraine.
«So you are in favour of infanticide»
«You're flushing out Pispiringu»
«A concert for the three innocent souls? But not about infanticide in general, the lack of state care and the responsibilities of society»
What can you answer again? Does it make sense to say «read carefully what I have written»; Pale.
