    All forms of finality punishment are cruel. You’ll never change my mind that death sentences are anything other than evil purely based on the fact that if it’s on the table for anyone, it’s on the table for everyone and we have a false conviction rate of nearly 1 in 20.

      I generally agree with this sentiment for common criminal law. So, I upvoted your comment.

      I disagree when it comes to nazis creating concentration camps, murdering people in the streets and subverting democracy, but I still respect your position as reasonable.

      I admit I am not as reasonable right now. I am in a civil war state of mind and I still want my enemy as dead as they want us to be. Maybe I’ll cool off if the threat is actually stopped. They are not done yet, though. Conservatives are currently regrouping and will continue pushing for fascism.

      You’re thinking of judicial murder. Putting this admin up against a wall would be summary self-defense.
