I have no love for religious fascism, but America had 42 state executions in a similar timeframe (2022-2023) also for crimes like murder, but I doubt the coverage was the same.

Probably because the US didn't do them at a stadium...
That is a fine hair you are splitting there...
I feel like public executions are a whole lotta worse than regular executions
a whole lotta worse than regular executions
Only to the people justifying state murder. To the person involved, they are still dead either way,
To me the Saudi.Taliban methods are more honest, though just as mortally reprehensible as the USA's. The Saudi's are proud that they murder their citizens and are not afraid to show it.
This has the same energy as saying all forms of execution are just as bad because the person is dead in the end anyway. Lol
Yes. That was my point.
You find it funny.
I find it sad that a nation that claims life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as founding tenets defends the death penalty.
Of course I find it funny. Normally people recognize that even bad things can have levels of how bad they are.
Lol right, the US does it more clinically with injections and gasses. Much better, historically speaking.
The suffering of an individual is not the same as a public execution in a stadium, nor is the message the same.
Proponents of the US death penalty claim it is for deterrence, so I'm not really seeing a difference. Pretty sure you can also go witness a US execution if you're so inclined.
Having a random civilian shoot a criminal with thousands of spectators in a sports stadium.
Executing a criminal with lethal injection to an audience of 12

Why is this comment upvoted so much?

Response from a country that does not ahve the death penalty.
Well, they are...
It is not how the state does it that is the problem but that the state does it.
There is no way to humanely kill someone who does not want to die.
Yeah, what about the US and their stadium packed, public executions as a form of spectacle, it's just barbaric. The US is well on the way to also execute people as part of the Superbowl half time show. The sick bastards.
And what channel were these broadcast on? How many sick fucks tuned in?
