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.
