minus-squareRikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoSure, you can call it that and yeah, it might make some people think more before being in favour of it just because it doesn’t sound as bad. But I disagree with the first part, plenty deserve to be killed, always had and always will. In theory death penalty is exactly that - people justly decide that someone harms society too much and they don’t want that person in society. (again, note that I don’t think it should be implemented in real world because of how easily corruptible people are)
minus-squarelatenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·8 months agoNo. Murder is murder. There is no rationalising one’s way around it. There is no acceptable context for killing someone other than immediate self-defence, which is not the case when discussing things in terms of justice systems. Killing is never justice.
