    we don’t even need evidence to know

    No matter what follows this…yes, we do. You should need evidence to believe anything; understanding of course that the more extraordinary the claim, the more extraordinary the evidence needed.

    giving them merely some jailtime is not working either, but whatever

    Then imprison them for life. Guess what, life imprisonment is cheaper than the death penalty, and can be overturned if there’s an error.

      Anyone who has spend a week in jail knows that life imprisonment is much much worse than death penalty

        Yes, we should also be addressing the failings of our penal system(s). Unfortunately, many around the world, and clearly yourself included, are more interested in retributive “justice” than habilitative functions.

          Lol one example would be a rehabilitation for many, you would save countless amount of money and lives as well and effort on jails because as i keep on saying people will think twice, why are they killing others in the first place? I also said that It should be up-to the judges, if someone is mentally ill, he should of course be offered rehab, but people who are completely sane and kill just to earn some money or whatever the hell they want should not enjoy the same leniency, lemmy loves to throw the word propaganda around but fails to acknowledge they might be a victim of it too, I maybe a victim as well, that’s why I always respect and try to understand other peoples opinions as well as long as they don’t force it on others, but never will you see me like ‘You are a murderous piece of shit’
