I'd love to see real deterrents of crime at work.
I am in favor of executions for the worst crimes.
For those that think it is "barbaric" to execute a murderer, do you really think the murderer was gentle with his victims?
Do you think the murderer gave the victim time to be with their family and say a tender goodbye, like they get before their execution? I guess you believe the murderer also prepared a nice last meal for his victim too, right? And since most executions in the US are now carried out by lethal injection, nice, painless, and peaceful, I guess you believe the murder victim died the same way?
Yes, I think the executions should be made public. Nobody that does not want to attend has to. And the criminals should lose all of the above perks that they get. They certainly should not get more than their victims got.
