Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I’ve always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.
But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.
Which if even more disturbing.
So what do you think?
No. Quite aside from the certainty the state will accidentally execute innocent people and that the media would push for it for completely inappropriate situations, the job of the state is be to protect it’s citizens (hence the army and police being separate) so it is morally indefensible for the state to ever kill any of its citizens
