Being a hitman should be illegal. Selling a slave should be illegal. Accepting a bribery should be illegal. Chop the trunk, not the branches.

- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Being a hitman should be illegal You don't see any reason why hiring a hitman should also be illegal?
- z3c0 3y agoNo, I don't. Hitmen being unavailable would make it a non-issue, and conspiracy to commit murder is already a crime. As I mentioned in another comment in this thread, the US justice system (and French, giving credit where it is due) is designed to protect the innocent minority, not pursue the guilty majority. Patchwork legislation and wasting resources pursuing consumers instead of providers results in an eroding of basic civil liberties that may not be immediately apparent when one is focused solely on the issues used to provoke such concessions.
- shkkmo 3y agoBoth a hitman and the hirer can both be consenting adults, but we still shouldn't make it legal for the hirer to give money to a hitman to kill someone. Thus you agree that there are things that consenting adults should not be allowed to do with their money. Edit: There are good points about how much freedom it is worth giving away to make it easy to catch this crime, but I have a hard time seeing an argument for it not being illegal.
