The government should never be allowed to put its own citizens to death. The government is not infallible. The government has put innocent people to death.
The same government can't even be trusted to reliably fix a pothole.
Boomer humor. Government did something imperfect or not to MY personal standards therefore the whole thing is shit. Hahahahhahahahahaha aren't I funny?
/s
No, the whole thing really is shit.
Okay, then just go ahead and whip out a better system. I'm waiting lol
Do not execute people.
Wow that was easy.
Just don't live near Robert Bedella or Jeffery Dharma! Simple!
Or Jimmy Savile...
....or Jack the Ripper. Or any number of people who are lifetime murderers, rapists, torturers, criminals.
Simple!
Yeah because we've only two forms of punishment: slap on the wrists or execution. There's nothing in between.
Feel free to go live off the grid and no longer enjoy all the everyday qualities of life that are a result of government that you take for granted.
If your spouse or child were imperfect would you also toss them in the trash?
this is such a fucking strawman holy shit
Edit: just looked through your comment history, honestly you should probably live off the grid you are a net negative to society
That edit tho
Imagine wasting your life reading other peoples post history on a site that doesn't matter.
How's it feel to me the old man screeching about the way elvis moves his hips.
Nah, boomers love the death penalty. Which seems paradoxical, considering how they hate government.
Because conservatives view government as a cudgel rather than a social net
Subjecting human beings to inhumane torture by consistently failing to kill them is so far below anybody's standards for a death sentence that the mere action itself should be illegal.
