Does method of execution, crime committed or overall cost matter to you?

    You cannot be punished if you are dead. The death penalty is just convenient catharsis and a release of burden for the living.

    Not the death penalty, but the lost prophets guy who got stabbed to death recently got off easy. Death was too good for him.

      Yeah I’m 1000% against the death penalty but I also reserve the right to feel that people like him deserve death or worse. I reserve the right to feel schadenfreude and to celebrate when monsters are destroyed, even if I think that rehabilitation would be a better outcome if possible in finite time.
