To the people reading the comments and who are against the death penalty: this man has no mental illness he simply is an antisemitic piece of shit who deeply desired to see people suffer, there is no chance of rehabilitation at 50 years old and that far gone off the deep end.
If you support the death penalty then you believe either:
- The government’s judgements are infallible and it would never falsely execute an innocent person, OR
- You are okay with the government executing an innocent person.
I definitely don’t think they’re infallible, as there are loads of cases where people are exonerated only after serving decades in prison, or after their death. And I’m definitely not okay with the government executing an innocent person.
If you think people who oppose the death penalty only do so because “criminals can’t possibly be evil enough” then you’re a bit naïve
