There is no reason to also keep wasting taxpayer dollars keeping murderers and worst criminals alive. People like you seem to be happy in doing that and actually believe they can be reformed. When, the large majority seems to disagree with you. You don't have and never have had a solution to this. So what makes you think you've got a stance to abolish death penalties?
All that your kind seems to do is just waste people's time with your runaround logic. It's tiresome.
No, I'm done, I'm not going to hear more replies from people who I've exampled. There's a reason things exist and you don't want to accept that, fine, whatever. But you keep running around your own circular logic for all I care.
As all inmates have the right to a fair trial and every death penalty inmate appeals at every possible turn. This is 100% paid for by the taxpayer and makes executing people more expensive than housing them for their entire life. Any attempt to reduce this cost is met by an increase in likely unjust executions.
Your view is essentially “the death penalty exists so it is right” which is not a logically derived opinion. I don’t think you should talk about other people’s circular logic while avoiding recognizing your own.
You think true justice isn't worth working toward? Better to kill people just to be safe, and if a few innocent people are murdered, well, it's a small price to pay, right?

Here's a long list of reasons that you're wrong.
Ah yes, they're automatically the worst criminals.
You can release someone you're holding prisoner. You can't release someone from death.
What is the reason, exactly?
Fuck are you on about, it costs more taxpayer dollars to execute someone and we fucking get it wrong all the time. Stop thinking with your feelings and get educated on something before you spout nonsense about it being "common sense" or whatever. It's actually common sense to get rid of it!
Abolishing the death penalty is not about costs or punishment. It's about sparing the innocent a wrongful execution. As long as you advocate for the death penalty you are advocating for the murder of innocent people. No system is 100% accurate 100% of the time.
The ONLY way to be absolutely certain that we aren't wrongfully executing people is to stop executions entirely.
Most sane kbin/mbin user.
