I want people who do really bad things to die, but you're right, I don't want the state to do it.
Wat do?
>>69899271
Democratic executions.
Of course that runs the risk of mob rule.

A corrupt state could start murdering citizens tomorrow; it doesn't need permission of the People to do so. But as an apparatus of the People, it isn't to be feared. What you are describing is the irrational fear of using a knife to chop up some carrots because a knife could be wielded by a criminal to stab you. The two are unrelated, and you can't prevent the latter by refusing the former.

What is better, killing a man, or imprisoning him for life? The people that seem to argue that sometimes the wrong people get put to death don't seem to think about it. I like the fact that in every death penalty case the evidence gets examined and re-examined with the harshest eye. It may not be perfect, but is probably as perfect as humans can get.
Without the death penalty being around, judges and lawyers would not look at their own system and the evidence nearly as hard.
And some people really do deserve it.

> That runs the risk of mob rule
....
Libertarians are so fucking stupid.
This is mob rule you fucker.
Calling it democratic doesn't change that.
Where do you think states came from? When did we get so naive as a populace that we think that force is never required?

I'm pretty sure it is cheaper just to keep them in jail for 80 years rather than the endless court cases and appeals process in a death penalty case.
But should society keep some scum bag alive? Some crimes are very abhorrent.
>>69900287
get rid of all the appeals
we used to just hang them within a week
Inb4 idiots reply saying it's more expensive to do the death penalty.
It in itself is obviously cheaper. Fixed just need to be made to the expensive system.

The only reason the courts exist is to keep people from dueling.
