imagine living in TYoOL Two Thousand Twenty Four and still thinking the Code of Hammurabi is the epitome of justice, and that convicts are literal inhuman monsters 100% of the time that exist only to kill and terrorize and crime on people. The system can and does fuck up so the question becomes are all the innocent prisoners executed in Texas every year worth satisfying your absolutely bronze-age sense of justice, or do you think you can join the adults in the room in valuing human life even when it's complicated?
PS numerous studies have showed the death penalty is not a deterrent, so like there aren't even facts in your corner, just infantile fee-fees and baby-brained fearmongering.
