    No. What happens is the spectators get severely desensitized to violence. Especially if the spectators are young malleable teenagers. And suddenly sawing someone’s head off in front of a live broadcast becomes just another day on the job.

      Huh? Do you think this way there will be an execution everyday?

      People won’t get violent, that’s like saying people will get violent by seeing a school shooting, instead they will get shit scared it’s not like a person will get hanged everyday, atmost it might be something like every 5-6 years, less if there can be some sort of negotiation with the victims family, and if people learn their lesson and stop their murders, you might only see one in your lifetime, if anything we have been desensitized to murder, to the point that we think it’s not such a big deal that people get out of jail in 6 months

      And ofc teenagers should be kept out

        This doesn’t make sense. There have been public executions and torture all over the world for centuries, and yet murder and rape were much more frequent than now.

          Ofc crime will go down as people get more educated, but crime is still too high, the reason it was so high before is that people though that ‘honour killing’ is completely fine and that rape is a way to show dominance and that women are inferior, but look at today countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE, even if the laws are not strictly imposed, crime is low, it might also a get a bit lower if people start changing their somewhat conservative mindset, our first priority is to tell people that this is wrong, I am tired of repeating the same thing again and again to people but I am not saying death penalty is right in every case, if someone is insane, not educated, then they should surely be given rehab, but people who are well aware of what they are doing and kill for their own benefit should not be given the same leniency (see corporations for eg, and bill gates, who purposely killed millions by privatizing vaccine, all of them are very well aware of what they are doing, and killing for their own benefit, these are the type of people that should be made an example), crime is also low in countries where people are very well educated, but I am sure we can make almost non existent if we combine both, make an example of someone who rapes children for their own pleasure or take someone elses life to make their own a little bit better
