re: #74 Targetpractice

Ayep. In their fear-addled minds, the system that they believe only executes innocent people is too incompetent to keep guilty people behind bars for the rest of their lives. So if 1 innocent man should be executed, then it’s justified because 100 “monsters” will also be assured never to get out of jail.

Looks like a typo here where you meant ‘only executes the guilty’.

In any case, RWNJ doublethink is rarely so apparent as when it is held that government is completely incompetent in all matters, except that it somehow has 100% accuracy for executions.

The real answer of course is that most people executed via the death penalty in the US are poor and/or colored, which by itself is enough for many RWNJs to justify execution.
