I’m in a funny spot, because I think reducing the number of shitty people on this planet is great! …But I don’t trust a government to accurately determine guilt. So I’m anti-death penalty, but not mad at all that Luigi (allegedly) murdered that shit bag CEO who has an entire business based on getting mandatory payments from people to deny and delay their necessary healthcare.
Completely agree. People like Luigi are essential, drawing a line in the sand for evil to see. That’s not to say we need vigilantes constantly… but it feels like times right now are when we need a few.
EDIT: It also troubles me how the USA does the death penalty. There’s a big argument of ‘what if we kill someone who was mistakenly convicted’ - I think if you stuck to only executing people who CERTAINLY committed the crime, you’d make huge strides in ridding the world of evil destructive rampage killers, anyway.
There are a ridiculous amount of killers in america who confess, boast, are proud of having killed. Who were caught on cctv, or otherwise witnessed killing.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
Some people read this as “Every man secretly wants to be a pirate” but to me it says “everyone has a point where what is legal becomes incompatible with what is necessary”
