Reply to comment by delco_trash in Governor Shapiro vows to "not issue any execution warrants during my term as Governor". Also urges Assembly to abolish death penalty. by Canopenerdude

In todays age we have deep fake videos and college kids creating amazing visual art that looks real so even that type of evidence becomes sketchy.

I appreciate you speaking up for your view. I think my qualms about death penalty are two fold:

  1. The legal costs usually amount more than life in prison so we aren’t saving any effort just killing.
  2. The person doesn’t get a chance to rehabilitate or feel remorse for their actions. We don’t know if there’s a hell or afterlife so we are really just cutting their sentence down to nothing

I think of the absolute worst person in the world, Hitler, and he chose the death penalty over being imprisoned. He robbed us of actually holding him accountable. If I want hitler to rot in a cell, there’s no one worse that I would rather just die and we move on from.
