So if the government murder someone, it should not be allowed to exist?
> Likewise with heinous crimes like Anders Brevik. Why he wasn't put to death is still mind boggling to me.
Why?
> I just think the US's system of perpetual imprisonment leads to a worse system overall.
You contradict yourself; you want harser sentences, but also thinks that harser sentences "leads to a worse system overall."
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoDeath is not harsher than "25 to life." Being a rat in a cage told to exist but your purpose is futile is no life worth living. I also do firmly believe that even if the wrong person is chosen for the death penalty, it's still significantly more humane than throwing an innocent person in jail for decades stealing their life away in an even worse way. Lastly, if you don't think Anders Brevik shouldn't be put to death, I'd argue morally you're the one purporting immorality.
