    You think the death penalty is edgy? It has been used for thousands of years across numerous societies.

        It solves the need to feed, house, and guard murderous scum.

        In cases where there is zero doubt a person is a murderer it should be used.

          There have been numerous cases where racists have had “zero doubt” that a black person has done a crime.

          You keep making the wording on that “zero doubt murder” bill more air-tight, and I’ll tell you when it’s acceptable, Sisyphus.

          It does reduce the amount of people to feed and house, but the right to life and the right to be innocent before proven guilty both hold. Cops being the judge, jury and executioner is inherently unreliable, and human beings inherently have biases based on thousands of factors, so there WILL be officers stating “oh nah they attacked me” without the attack actually happening and their life being taken just because the officer has a racist or biased interpretation of their behaviour.

          Also, seeming that you’re from aussie.zone, it appears you are of course an Aussie like me, so you should have already caught that we are multicultural, and we are going through a tough time of the public discriminating against itself. Extrajudicial killings by law enforcement will amplify this.

              True, that’s on me, however it still stands, as police have a tendency to ‘retaliate’ in situations that don’t endanger them, so both human error and discriminatory bias are still significant.
