Apologies. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. Summary execution, I now realize, is never acceptable. If Hitler hadn’t killed himself, he would have deserved life in supermax, not the electric chair. Deliberately ending a life is simply inhumane.
I take by your sarcasm you don’t want a real conversation?
But yes, only not ironically. I don’t think a state should kill anyone for sake of retribution, no matter how grisly their behavior. In fact, I think retribution shouldn’t factor at all into how a state manages those who break law or engage in antisocial behavior.
Is that a conversation you want to have? Or is snark the only thing you know how to do?
ETA: It sounds like you may not know this: Summary execution is killing someone without due process. Generally, that’s a crime internationally, and regarded as a war crime.
I assume you would want Hitler to at least have a trial at Nuremberg, if he was captured, but feel free to correct me.
Curious, so you believe in the cases where the US, or its respective states execute a prisoner that it is warranted because there’s no other way?
I could go ahead, as you did to me, and assert you’re a monster, but instead I’ll give you a chance to elaborate.
