Reply #152: Yes, provided there is no question of guilt

[Firespirit]

To quote Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird:

"I mean, before a man is sentenced to death for murder, there should be one or two eyewitnesses. Someone should be able to say 'Yes, I was there and I saw him pull the trigger. ...{I}n the absence of eyewitnesses there's always a doubt, sometimes only the shadow of a doubt. {...} There's always the possibility, no matter how improbable, that he's innocent."

In modern times I would raise the standard to something like video or DNA evidence, but if there is proof, then yes, I would be in favor of executing the S.O.B.

Yes it'd be about revenge, and yes I could personally do the execution. Say whatever you want about that, I'm sure there will be plenty of ad hominem things said, but it's at least honest.
