    It’s fine to not support any death - ever. Don’t sweat that.

    There’s a skit on a Fugees album where it essentially says: “Let a MF kick you one time then he’ll kick you one time. Let a MF kick you two times then he gonna kick you two times… but if you rip off his MFing legs then there ain’t gonna be no more kicking.”

    I think some very tired people have got to the leg removing stage.

      It’s one thing to say it casually from your chair, it’s another entirely to actually see it through. Add to that the statistics for innocent people who were executed and I just cannot understand how anyone could actually be in favor of capital punishment.

      If you want to punish someone, death is often a kindness to someone facing the consequences of their actions. If you want justice, killing someone isn’t going to undo any of the harm that person did, so it’s better to give them the chance to make some form of restitution.

      An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
