When given due process of law, convicted by a jury of peers, and when it becomes obvious there really is no other way. That’s justice. One guy with a gun is just a murderer.
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?

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.

That’s funny. Just a couple replies ago you were actively advocating for murder. Is it only bad when the state does it?
I think you misread what I said.
Care to state your case?
