This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.
This isn't hyperbole, American "justice" has done exactly, to minors no less!

I can only imagine the little MAGAts are gonna taste blood and are gonna want to have people executed for less and less. Immigrants, people with different political views / opinions, the lady that looked at them funny in the grocery store, etc.
That’s exactly what is going to happen. I have no doubt.
This is close to what a friend of mine witnessed 30 years ago in Nigeria. Criminals were punished in the "War Against Indiscipline". Televised determents, such as beatings and amputations the right hand for stealing. The first man to suffer this was Bube Jangebe - for stealing a cow. This is many steps back to Medieval times. Next will be the rack.
Yes bro we know, the people who will watch it want them to do more.
That's not even the biggest issue here.. The point seems to be more normalising murdering American citizens who are "traitors"..
If it does get aired, The Purge will become a game show.
Someone in the current administration has TV experience. Loves violence and views all but himself as expendable. Perhaps the ideal host?
Truly the perversion of our society in real time. Some people are GIDDY about it
That’s depressingly pathetic.
it's the two minutes hate.
This is a good analogy. I didn’t think about that before. It really is “direct your hate here and not against your oppressors” in public.
the unfortunate part is the only people who are going to participate are the people who really don't need to participate.
Even if it were Epstein himself, I’d be against it being publicized. Heinous crimes should be taken seriously and even if the courts agree to a death sentence, it should not be celebrated. No amount of death can change the damage that was already caused.
They are actually doing this? Fucking hell, I joked about it recently because of how fucking absurd the idea is.
It’s insanely absurd.
It's a step toward the rehabilitation via monster trucks the tribe would praise too.
Pretty wild to think you're not allowed to show a boob on national television but they want you to watch some guy get his face blown off.
It's been that way for a long time here in the US.
Will they put the American flag on the background full DAESH style?
Somwonw sings the national anthem in tge background and drags out the braaaaaaaaaave so americans get a boner
And then after they clear the dead body from the field, the baseball game can finally begin
