      We have litteral tool that doesn’t let any doubt regarding that matter. It s such a terrible bad argument that it never applied in any other situation.

        Could just have a death sentence be only passed when there’s beyond doubt of guilt

        This is the reason civil societies have mostly done away with the death penalty, simply because we cannot ever be 100% we have the guilty people. We like to think the court systems are infallible, but they sure arent.

          I’d say it’s probably the biggest argument against the death penalty tbh. But then, at the same time, innocent people have died serving life sentences also.

        Aren’t all conviction in US beyond doubt like… by definition? And there are always reviews and appeals and request for clemency to heads of states. And innocent people were executed many many times.

        Isn’t all this common knowledge by now?

          At some point saying that we ard only sure at 99.99% and not 100% so we fan t do anything about it is utterly ridiculous. No system is perfect and yet u use that argument at the age of cctv dna test and so on

            You can do plenty of things but in a civilized country we tend not to punish people in brutal ways just to get some satisfaction. We isolate them, make sure they can’t hurt anyone and try to rehabilitate them.

            And we do this, among other things, because systems are not perfect and doing irreversible harm to people is problematic. Even with CCTV and DNA tests.

              For context, I’m thinking more of a recent murder case that happened in the UK. Basically a sikh guy stabbed a British student, then called the police on him accusing him of racism. Police arrived and handcuffed the dying student as he bled out, dying on the ground in handcuffs. The Sikh’s family were complicit

              Obviously, a whole myriad of immigration tension has arisen again (happened with the southport stabbings also) and people are rioting.

              I think if we publicly executed people who carried out these atrocities, it would quench the general public’s bloodthirst and restore order, hopefully reducing hate crimes on the innocent immigrants.

                    Public execution. They hanged a guy from a tree and took a nice group photo. They would then make nice postcards out of them and sent out to family. Really brings back the community together. Especially if the criminal is of a different race. The history showed us that there are no risk of discrimination or abuse here. Justice system should do what the mod desires. We could call it… mob justice.

U cant just look me in the eyes and say to me yeah he was a neo nazi that killed 20 ppl in a place of cult but have you thinking about his rehabilitation and how horrible you will be if you think it will be a net positive for society if we kill him ?

                  They may type like a moron, but they have a point. It’s easy for someone to sit behind a screen and type “just rehabilitate them” online.

        Implying people get locked up when there is still reasonable doubt? That sounds like a massive problem.
