US Politics

[Wisbech Eagle]

The counterargument is that public executions should show accountability, transparency, and public oversight of the justice system. If society, through its laws and courts, has the authority to sentence someone to death, then citizens have a legitimate interest in the execution of that punishment.

If the state executes someone in the public's name, the public should not be entirely shielded from the consequences of that decision. Transparency forces society to confront the reality of capital punishment rather than treating it as an abstract legal process conducted behind closed doors. To put it simply, if you aren't embarrassed about your actions then there is no reason to hide them.

That’s total BS! Their legitimate interest starts and finishes with knowing that the sentence passed has been carried out. There are witnesses that can testify, if anyone has doubts.

No one is shielded from that knowledge. The date and time are known. You don’t need to turn it into a public spectacle. Civilised society stopped doing that a long time ago.

The potential damage that allowing the public to view could cause (to children or the vulnerable) far outweighs any conceivable benefit. So in any civilised society it doesn’t happen. Does the USA seriously want to damage its already tarnished reputation even more?

You are stuck on copy and paste with your same rhetoric and lack of actual facts. You don't like what definitions actually are so you create a fiction in your own mind of what you want the definition to be.
- The ICC has no authority over Israel and his given itself the authority. Which is overreach.
- Your entire argument is virtue signaling. Every single nation who is the part of the ICC could go after Putin, Bibi or Trump, yet you don't do a single thing because you are only virtue signaling.

If the world needs it so much, then you and the ICC should nut up and try to bring Trump on trial. Looking forward to it as I could use the laugh.

Good news, the party will go ahead but only personal attendees can watch this abhorrent POS being put down

Been fascinating to watch the people on here that were for it.

And it is the suspected psychopaths that we always knew.

the thread is about US Politics. Not that i have ever seen you displaying much knowledge on the subject, thus far anyway.

and so, Trump. The Left deserves him.
