So your 'better' option to "getting off the hook" is murder?
On a related topic - if you're dying on the streets of China, your chances of receiving help are slim. Anyone who attempts to help you is responsible for your medical bills. They'll let you die on the streets.
The problem here is laws regarding expenses.
- Retric 11y agoWhen the state executes someone for a crime it's generally not considered murder. Vigilantism is considered a wide range of things in various cultures, but even in the US if a someone saw a driver drive back and forth over there kid and they pulled out a gun and shot the driver in rage then they would likely get off. Doing the same thing in cold blood would be considered murder in the US, but we have a mostly functional court system. Without that Vigilantism may preform similar functions as state sponsored executions. Sure, it's far from ideal, but so is cold blooded murder of a child. PS: Actual death would not be a requierment, but a level of harm that causes people to avoid murder is.
