    So, it’s not wrong to lock people in a cage?

    Lol. The ‘logic’ of the anti-death penalty crowd never ceases to astound me.

      Locking people in a cage as a consequence of their misdeeds is different than the state killing to prove killing people is wrong and immoral.

      Take a minute to actually educate yourself about how incredibly badly we handle the death penalty. I have met too many men who were 100% innocent if their crime who got put on death row because of incompetence by investigators or prosecution to support it.

        Lol. You don’t understand.

        You’re trying to say that “killing people is bad, therefore we shouldn’t kill as a punishment.”

        I’m trying to say that “locking people up is bad, therefore we shouldn’t lock people up as a punishment.”

        Stop moving the goalposts. Stop saying one punishment is ‘better than another’ while trying to say hurting someone is bad.

        If you, as an free person lock someone up, you’re in the wrong. Just as if you, as free person kill someone, it is bad.

        Stop. You’re not fooling anyone but yourself and who wants to be fooled. Some people need to die.

          No one moved the goalposts before this. You provided a false equivalence and are now attempting to move the goalposts.

            Wait, what? Did you even read what I said?

            Please say something of substance, I beg of you.

              I did read what you wrote and that is why I wrote what I did.

              Locking people up is a false equivalence with execution.

              You are now attempting to move the goalposts now.
