It’s sad that the US government unnecessarily deprived a human being of their right to life.
I hope one day the people involved are prosecuted for this premeditated murder.
- WheatMillington 2y agoState executions are literally, by definition, not murder.
- DandyDev 2y agoLegally they aren't, morally you could argue they are.
- NietTim 2y agoAnd who wrote that definition again? Right, the murderers.
- arp242 2y agoLegally speaking Stalin's purges were also not murder, by definition. It's obvious the previous poster was making a point of morality, not legality. You can of course disagree with that morality. That's fine. But going "but akshually the law says..." is being highly obtuse.
- karpatic 2y agoChiming in like this makes me wounder what your view on abortion is. I'm not asking, though.
- arp242 2y agoI'm not really sure if I follow how that relates? I'm just saying that "X is legal" is not really a good counter to "X is not moral", which of course also applies in the reverse. Legality and morality are just not the same thing.
- karpatic 2y agoOh lol. I was being serious. Been thinking about the nuances of it recently and I felt it kinda resides within that framework. Wasn't meant to be snide but also this threads not the place for it.
