    Who will be deemed useless and dangerous?
    Who will have this power to judge?
    Will they be responsible, or corruptible?

      Exactly. I said that to make the death penalty look bad, which it is.

        What alternative do you have for people actively detrimental to societies such as serial killers and child rapists?

          Reform, and if they continue to pose a risk for society keep them in a prison/psychiatric ward until they die or are reformed.

          Look at how Norway handles Breivik for example. That guy is a proper monster. But he still gets treated according to human rights, cause he is still human. We as a society should be better and more rational than the monsters that we condemn.

          It’s pretty easy to not-murder. I’ve been doing it my whole life. Even went vegan!

          You know that life in prison means they usually don’t go out to kill and rape again, right?

            You know that most rapists never actually see a day in court, let alone are jailed, and rape actually does not net people life sentences, only a few years at most, right?

            But who needs facts or to take anyone else’s feelings into consideration when your personal feelings are so much more important than the rest of the planet’s and the women you subjugate with your shit?

              1. I didn’t say that rape gets you life in prison, I said that life in prison means you don’t get to rape and murder anymore

              2. It is a travesty that those rapists who do get caught only serve a few years, but the death penalty is proven ineffective at reducing crime rates. Nobody would be helped by executing rapists instead of just imprisoning them for life

              3. That most rapists never see a day in court means that the death penalty wouldn’t help anyway

              Instead of killing up to five innocent people per hundred executed, how about we just Lock them up? Then if it comes out later that they actually didn’t set that fire that killed their family, they can be released from prison instead of the state just pretending they didn’t end someone’s life for no reason

        Will you still have no problem with this if you’re deemed useless?

          Let me check. Do I deem myself useless. No. Looks like we’re good to go.
