> (that's also why the death penalty is useless, btw).

I’d argue that if a criminal is dead, they can’t commit future crimes, therefore the death penalty is quite useful. Why waste space and resources on prisons when there is a more efficient option?




Death penalty does not serve as a deterrent compared to life imprisonment. It also sometimes applied to innocent people.


Killing somebody for murder is called being a hypocrite.
