    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.

                I’m not American but you said that executing a sikh guy for killing a British student (who was actually Polish) to stop riots would be a good idea. You specifically mentioned races of the involved and talked about immigration tensions. But yes, I started talking about race out of nowhere…

                Does this really not sound familiar to you?

                  I’m not American

                  Too much exposure to American media is making you act like one and constantly harp on about the USA

                  was abducted and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman,

                  That’s quite a step away from saying “we should execute murderers” to suddenly jumping to Emmett Till

                  A whole witch-hunt also happened when James Bulger was murdered. It’s not always race related. Offending white people is not always a crime, and never a capital offence.

                    I know it’s not the same thing as Emmett Till but it’s funny that in a 2026 people still think that murdering people to appease racist mobs is a good idea.

          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.
