As bad as things get in my country, at least we're not using AA for executions.
Idk, of all the ways to go "executed by AA gun" is pretty badass.
I'd take it over lethal injection tbh.
In theory: yes. In practice though, they bring out your whole extended family, kids and all, to cheer on your death. If they show the slightest bit of sadness, then they must have been accomplices in whatever crime you are convicted of, and they're next right then and there. Super chill place.
Wait do they really do that?
Yes, any crime is considered generational.
It depends on what you consider reliable. All that I am 100% sure of, is that you can't drag a whole nation through one of the worst self induced famines in history without a revolution by asking nicely for patience while the well fed government "figures this thing out". I tried...
Our country, sadly, still has executions, and some states are eager for them even as lethal injection supples are withheld in protest by foreign suppliers.
I'm left as fuck asf but I support the death penalty in certain cases.
Some people really don't deserve to be alive and that's a factual statement regardless of morality.
The problem is that there is literally no way to ensure that you never execute innocent people. And no, it doesn't matter what solution you come up with, it's not going to work. So you have to ask yourself: is killing people you think "don't deserve to be alive" worth killing innocent people? Again, there is no option "kill them without killing innocents". You either kill both innocent and guilty people, or you don't kill anyone.
I mean neither is North Korea, the woman that a blog claimed was killed that way has made a lot of public performances since then, but a good lie will spread forever
