I suspect many people upvoting think that's a comment about Trump/Republicans and not about democrats.

I'm against killing prisoners but I'm 100% for keeping the death penalty on the books just so you can sentence all billionaires to death before graciously lessening their sentence

I really doubt it's any cleaner there than here. No doctor who doesn't suck ass at their job would ever agree to be involved in an execution

It really is harder to fuck it up than to do properly. Just get their weight calculate a fatal dose of any of a coupple dozen common available medications and you are set. It is so easy that you get about one case of it a day nationally on average in hospitals where they are trying not to do it. It boggles my mind that we invaded some strange complicated way to duck it up completely when the city pound can do it without issue.

According to Wikipedia:

The drugs used to execute prisoners are produced domestically

bro how much do you think people age in their 20s lol

when's the last time you saw a 30 year old? 😭 she looks 50s minimum

Yes the death penalty is never morally right but I see this as more of a state sanctioned billionaire execution which, in my opinion, are morally justified.

I say Vietnam is doing something extremely cool

You know I generally think this but it sure is easy to find exceptions. I think it really only works as a policy for "normal" crime.

Like, if there was some fascist leader war crime commiting nazi on trial, death penalty, easy moral choice, no ambiguity about whether or not they actually committed the crime.

This fraud is a bit closer to a shade of gray, but still nothing like "normal" crime.

i say execution is acceptable by groups in precarious situations (i.e. not well-established states with legal systems and cops, but we'll come back to that) such as during or shortly after a revolution where you can't securely contain and rehabilitate the monsters who have been abusing peasants or slaves, and there's a real risk of them leaving and mustering an army or otherwise undermining the revolution.

we blanketly oppose the death penalty in for a variety of reasons that have to do with systemic injustices but none of those problems apply to viet nam or billionaires.

the moral argument is a huge gray area, but i find it very hard to feel bad for billionaires

whether or bot you think this is a good thing it's still commendable that the government holds the rich accountable imo

anyway sorry to add on to the dogpile, i know you've gotten a lot of replies

True. The ideal is to never do it. But I'm also not going to weep because it for once is applied to a white color criminal.

I agree, I don't think executions are a morally valid activity for a society to engage in. And in a practical sense, it's much more important that criminals be caught and convicted consistently, and prevented from continuing to hurt others. She should be stripped of her wealth, and under permanent house arrest, and be allowed to continue working and contributing to society... but under the close scrutiny as some who is known to have hurt a lot of people, and would probably do it again if given a chance.

Unpopular opinion: no state should be legally allowed to murder people

Moralism is for liberals. It’s inherently subjective, one’s opinion is influenced by a myriad of factors, and it’s impossible debate.
