Some people don’t way to spend their time and money running instances for a bunch of people they don’t like.

Better call the cops.

Productivity has a long way to fall before it gets back in line with wages, so I don’t think workers should be too concerned.

I’m not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent.

Wow.

Yes, and I would argue that it’s crueler to put an innocent person through that drawn out process than it is someone whose mistake or carelessness actually caused an innocent life to be lost.

It is a mistake worth dying over? Maybe not, but as long as there is no consequence to getting it wrong, there is literally zero incentive for public officials to get it right, especially those wanting to prove themselves “tough on crime”

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

No, but we sometimes give the death penalty to… people who didn’t do anything wrong? And maybe, just maybe, it’s too easy, too consequence-free, for the state to take someone’s life, if it just happens by accident sometimes.

And perhaps at that point, enough people might realize that giving the state the right to execute people is extremely fraught and finally decide it’s not worth it.

But it seems like maybe the bloodlust is too strong.

If we believe in the death penalty, then we believe that the state has a right to end someone’s life because they unjustly took someone else’s.

So if a person was executed and was found posthumously to actually have been innocent, then would we be justified in executing, say, the DA who prosecuted the crime?

You’re right! We SHOULD get rid of all health and sanitation laws. Why even try?

And getting into a car with a stranger

Is getting into a car with a stranger a crime?

If the cops ever find my Uber history, I’m in trouble.
