US Politics

I didint say it was okay. Just calling out the hypocrisy.

You don’t have to lean ,left or right to know that to reintroduce public executions to a modern Christian democracy is a massive kick in the teeth for civilisation.
Execute by all means , if that’s what the law requires, but not with the public invited to a public celebrity party. This stinks of Hegseth, and Trump having zero class ,but we already knew that.

Charlie Kirk was publicly executed and leftys celebrated. When Trump publicly executes a terrorist the leftys loose their minds. 🤷‍♂️

Might I add they don't care about public executions in Iran either.

There are so many points in so few words that are just too odd to debate but I'll try.

Kirk was murdered. No due process you see. Completely unrelated to this question.

Both sides of politics condemn the live streaming of this execution. To label those who protest as "lefty" is just nonsense.

The "left" (as far as you can place them all under one flag) generally condemns execution per se. That is in China, Russia, Iran or the USA. Saying they "don't care" about Iranian executions is just a thought that pops into your head that you then type out. It bears zero relationship to what pretty much everyone thinks.

He’s done it lads. He’s somehow found something more mind-numbingly stupid to say, just when you thought he couldn’t do it.

You just have to stand and applaud at this point.

I respect your response but in my opinion as you said Kirk’s murder had zero due process but plenty of open celebration from the left. That’s the hypocrisy I was talking about. And it's the same people who lose it over a terrorist getting executed and stay quiet about Iran’s public hangings every week.

As for my own opinion on this public execution of a terrorist. I am against it. Put him in a cell and let him rot for the rest of his life.

That's fair. I agree.

More sugar vicar?

It's a kind of facade and weakness to shy away from the reality of consequences because the dirty business of killing someone isn't pleasant.
It's like how I note that some people find it very easy to send other people's sons to war, just as long as they or their sons don't have to face it.....because it's all words rather than the tactile reality of war at their personal door.

This guy deserves the consequences, as 13 families lost members and others seriously injuried.....it should have happened far sooner.....Private or public makes no difference to me.

For me, society needs to toughen up as we have created a world that can ignore realities if they aren't that nice....like how the bacon reached their plate
