I disagree. It’s perfectly possible to hold an internally consistent view that it’s wrong to execute a prisoner, both because there’s no reason to do so (the prisoner already being imprisoned) and because courts get the decision wrong too often (and/or because the courts aren’t trustworthy), while also believing that it’s acceptable to kill under other circumstances
Sure, it’s acceptable to kill when you’re defending yourself or your country but shooting a man on the street is a whole different case and who ever celebrates this kind of vigilante murder has no moral ground to stand on from which to criticise the death penalty.
That man on the street and his like have murdered plenty of people and will continue to do so until they are stopped. It has fuck-all to do with state executions.
The class war is literally war, and only one side has been taking all the casualties. It’s about time people fight back. The moment we can lock these people up for their crimes against humanity I will be against killing them.
