Death penalty is inhumane, uncivilized, primitive, barbaric, and provably ineffective in reducing crime rates. We have countless of studies on this.
So while I agree with the underlying sentiment that corruption should be fought effectively, I would not go as far as to promote the death penalty.
I disagree completely. I would go a step further and include any corrupt authority figure, including police officers, judges etc. Way too many dirtbags getting away with this shit and worse.
Yes, getting away with it is obviously not what we want. But the death penalty doesn't change anything about that.
I politely disagree. This is truly a humanitarian viewpoint worthy of deliberation beyond what could be discussed in an online forum. Therefore no haste with this viewpoint. Perhaps a civilized discussion could be had without fleeing towards comforting conclusions and welcoming sideline discourse. I truly wish there weren’t a need. But for the love of Our Lord Almighty, may we be willing to listen and be as open minded & accepting with a sincerely open hearted view. However unfortunate, this resolution lay upon many/ and or some of us. I do believe that this scenario demands an appropriate and very pragmatic approach.
Appropriate and pragmatic, yes. The death penalty is neither.
I can’t believe I just wrote that comment. Fuck’n Right on! Read it again once more, aloud. It holds up & I am saying 🤟!
Holy shit! That there is some Damn fine narrative. If one is likely to grab a gander in this convo, please do sayeth. Seriously, hoping you are enjoying it too!
