The arson attack in a revered Kyoto animation studio killed 36 people and injured dozens more.
It’s trippy for such a technologically advanced country that they still do hangings
The Gundam Firing Squad is out for repairs, and they couldn’t find a pen to write his name in the Death Note.
They are very conservative and toxic in many things sadly. It doesn’t sit right with their international image. The country of contrasts I guess.
I didn’t think they still had the death penalty even.
I don’t condone the death penalty.
But…
…that fucker killed 36 people by setting a building on fire. Let’s suppose that a few of them didn’t die by smoke inhalation, but actually being burned alive. That fucker burned alive people. One of the most painful deaths one can experience.
I’d say hanging (and again I don’t condone it!!!) is getting out easy.
But…
This is death penalty version of I’m not racist but
Considering how Japan’s justices system is as bad as the US there definitely shouldn’t be a death penalty in ANY circumstances
According to the autopsies most people died due to burns rather than smoke
Let the fucker hang, and that’s the least we could do
Ugh. Horrible.
Kinda sounds like you might be for the death penalty…
Nope. I already said that what I’m disagreeing with is OP saying that death by hanging is oh so barbaric, when the perpetrator burned people alive. Those victims didn’t have the chance of dying by hanging.
It’s like saying that I don’t agree with physical punishment for misbehaving kids. Let’s suppose that a kid skins another kid alive, and the father spanks him as punishment. I’ll say “nah, that’s wrong. Take him to a psychiatric center instead.” And if someone says “so barbaric that the kid got spanked instead of getting his ears pulled, which is more common,” I’ll say “bruh, that kid skinned someone alive!”
Yea, you sympathize and thus justify the secondary action. In this case that would be the death penalty.
Whatever you say, buddy. My abhorrence towards the death penalty is not up for discussion here, and I’m getting bored already.
Just rest assured that if you’re ever on death row, and it’s in my power to get you out of it, I will do it unconditionally.
Furthering this discussion is of no use to me. Have a nice evening.
Out of the few kinds of crimes that I feel qualify for a Death Sentence…this is absolutely One Of Them.
There should be an extra clause for death penalties that they should only be given out in cases beyond physical impossibility as opposed to reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is not a good bar for killing somebody, but in this case there’s no physical possibility it wasn’t him.
No. Just No. Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt is sufficient.
Don’t try to diminish or weaken the necessity of the death penalty in a first-degree-multiple-murder scenario. The death penalty is always absolutely warranted.
