THAT'S.NOT.HOW.THIS.frickING.WORKS.

We don't hang people in the street anymore. We don't gun them down against concrete walls with judicial permission.

God damnit man. God fricking damnit if you actually believe this.

We're no better than China and Iran if you truly desire this outcome for our most violent criminals.

I get that a principle of criminal law is "the punishment must fit the crime," but whatever happened to "you can judge a nation on how the government treats her citizens?"

Could you actually imagine an America where we hung offenders in the streets? Should we make the violent offenders writhe in pain? Should we play God and control the pain they receive? My god. It's not 1880 anymore. Move on.

God help us if people actually believe the things you just typed.

Sorry, you dont understand how this works.

People get tried in court. they get convicted. If the crime is bad enough they get the death sentence.
