Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The delusion in this thread is hilarious.
Also, yes we should kill inmates who commit certain crimes if they meet a certain burden of proof. The service done to society by killing off these fools far outweighs the costs incurred should a few innocent lives be taken in the process.
Funny how .world mods enforced 'no calling for killing of innocent people' when everyone was cheering on CEOs getting dropped. But when 'edgy' pieces of shit like this ghoul say "innocent lives? Whatever, the benefits outweigh the costs regardless", it just stands. I guess the explanation that the servers are in Holland where it's illegal to say innocent people should be killed, just means illegal when innocent=CEO.
you can't be serious, can you? lol
When one finds oneself advocating for a contentious position—particularly one with irreversible consequences—without having engaged in rigorous intellectual due diligence, it becomes imperative to pause and examine the foundations of that conviction. The casual acceptance of collateral damage in matters of state-sanctioned execution suggests an intellectual framework built more on intuition than careful ethical reasoning.
Even if you were right, intuition doesn't preclude correctness.
Nor imply it. Idiot.
never said it did imply it. but I am correct.
how are you gonna condemn someone for killing by killing them?
This isn't the banger you think it is.
Then let your innocent life be the first victim
fine by me.
This is kinda bad faith as the overwhelming bulk of statistical and economic literature on the matter makes it clear how terribly expensive incarceration is.
Execution does end the money drain BUT our method of doing so necessarily makes it stupid expensive.
The best thing we could do for the thing the person is raging about is stop the for profit incarceration system, remove the death penalty entirely and work on a reform system.
We should just automate the shooting of death-row inmates in the back of the head. Execution should be meted out within a 3 year maximum period after conviction. There should be a dedicated post-conviction detective squad that reviews case material for each conviction for the duration of the 3 year window to make sure the case didn't miss anything. There should be an emergency review panel available to convene 6 months before the date of the execution, with the express purpose of reviewing any new findings, with the authority to stay the execution if new evidence has surfaced that warrants further investigation, with stays not being allowed to exceed one year.
