Singapore hangs woman convict for drug trafficking, first in almost 20 years - Lemmy NZ

No nation can call itself civilized that still uses the death penalty.
Some crimes are so heinous and intrinsically evil that I believe we as society shouldn’t take the burden of keeping those people alive just for the sake of it. I believe that in those very limited cases, death penalty should be allowed.
The problem is that you will 100% kill innocent people. And there is no way to reverse it later on...
The state always hurts innocent people regardless, so ultimately better to just kill them than to subject them to the horrors of prison and act like that’s okay simply because they’re alive.
and if it was you who was being executed for something you didn't do?
I would be grateful it was only a noose and not decades of rape, torture, and enslavement. That’s literally why I believe it. Specifically because I don’t want to be falsely imprisoned, and if you actually empathized, you’d feel the same way.
