I honestly believe if it’s gotten to the point that you’re willing to commit a murderous act, the death penalty would have never been a deterrant. Make murderers pay for their crimes through a lifetime of slave labor authorized by the 13th amendment.
I’m … not touching your second point, but on the first: it’s even worse than that. “In for a penny, in for a pound”.
Why would anyone who committed a murder surrender if they know they’re going to die anyway? Especially when dying in a shootout looks better than “botched execution”. How many of these crimes are already committed by someone that only cares about themselves and hates the people around them? What’s their incentive to stop?
The death penalty seems to me like a great way to turn a murder into something worse.

Love that people in 2026 still support slavery. White supremacy never changes
