packwatch I'm not going to shed any tears if she's executed but I also kinda hope it gets downgraded to a life sentence.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 50 points 2 months ago

I'm against killing prisoners but I'm 100% for keeping the death penalty on the books just so you can sentence all billionaires to death before graciously lessening their sentence

You know something is truly funny when it becomes funnier every time you read it.

morbid speculationApparently they use lethal injection, so I’m wondering if they manage to avoid botching it. In America it’s probably the worst way because it’s always a slapdash cocktail used incorrectly with horrific results.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

I really doubt it's any cleaner there than here. No doctor who doesn't suck ass at their job would ever agree to be involved in an execution

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

of a person, sure, but this is a billionaire

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It really is harder to fuck it up than to do properly. Just get their weight calculate a fatal dose of any of a coupple dozen common available medications and you are set. It is so easy that you get about one case of it a day nationally on average in hospitals where they are trying not to do it. It boggles my mind that we invaded some strange complicated way to duck it up completely when the city pound can do it without issue.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Agreed, literally any fast acting barbiturate would do it with minimal complication.

Reiterating, it’s so fucking dumb America insists on torturing people with experimental amateur bullshit instead of just using literally anything else that quickly indices unconsciousness and death. Hell,dent would be more humane than the stuff we use that a survivor described “as my veins were on fire”

According to Wikipedia:

The drugs used to execute prisoners are produced domestically

Look, I've watched a lot of anime. Women exist in precisely two states: Purah from Breath of the Wild, and Purah from Tears of the Kingdom. They quantum shift between the two at certain ages, until eventually evolving into Impa.

Death sentences are actually never morally justified, what say you?

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

I say Vietnam is doing something extremely cool big-cool waow-based based-department

[-] abc@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

Yes the death penalty is never morally right but I see this as more of a state sanctioned billionaire execution which, in my opinion, are morally justified. berdly-smug

[-] Stoneykins@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

You know I generally think this but it sure is easy to find exceptions. I think it really only works as a policy for "normal" crime.

Like, if there was some fascist leader war crime commiting nazi on trial, death penalty, easy moral choice, no ambiguity about whether or not they actually committed the crime.

This fraud is a bit closer to a shade of gray, but still nothing like "normal" crime.

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

i say execution is acceptable by groups in precarious situations (i.e. not well-established states with legal systems and cops, but we'll come back to that) such as during or shortly after a revolution where you can't securely contain and rehabilitate the monsters who have been abusing peasants or slaves, and there's a real risk of them leaving and mustering an army or otherwise undermining the revolution.

we blanketly oppose the death penalty in amerikkka for a variety of reasons that have to do with systemic injustices but none of those problems apply to viet nam or billionaires.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

the moral argument is a huge gray area, but i find it very hard to feel bad for billionaires

whether or bot you think this is a good thing it's still commendable that the government holds the rich accountable imo

anyway sorry to add on to the dogpile, i know you've gotten a lot of replies

True. The ideal is to never do it. But I'm also not going to weep because it for once is applied to a white color criminal.
