    No civilised society executes it’s citizens. A lifetime of reflection is adequate.

      There are some people so dangerous that the risk of their return to society needs to be prevented at all costs.

      Yes our court systems are imperfect, yes innocents have been sentence to death and executed.

      Even with all that taken into consideration there are some people that simply need to be put down and when the evidence is so overwelmingly against them, I have no issues with this being how society keeps itself safe.

      The problem is we have no way of guaranteeing an unbiased and thorough justice system, in fact its almost a guarantee to be the opposite of fair and unbiased in so may situations.

        Yes there is. You make the process reversible, people then aren’t condemned to death if there is an error.

        The level of conformist doublethink here is insane.

      Yes they do, because they value protecting their people over appeasing your sensibilities.

      And don’t even bother wasting time arguing with me; I already know exactly what you’re going to do – you’re going to bitch to the high heavens with talking point after talking point after talking point, and you’re going to do this because you don’t care about anything other than the way articles like this make you feel. You’re just going to be irrational and not listen, so don’t bother.

        Why are you wasting everyone’s time responding if you’re not here to discuss?

          Why are you? I explicitly told you I’m not here to discuss, that you’re just wrong and there’s no convincing you because you don’t want to hear the truth. What discussion is there to be had? You just want to bully and guilt-trip people like me into submitting to your opinion and it’s not going to work. Now get out of my inbox, and out of my life.

        It’s a bit difficult to pull off a mass shooting from a prison cell, no?

        Edit: It’s hilarious you clowns think this is a hot take.
