And people with death penalties and life without parole sentences who are clearly guilty spending years hanging out in prison is tax money I would rather spend elsewhere and one of the issues I've always had with the justice system. So I'm willing to think outside the box. Kill two birds with one stone. Eww now there's and idea. Maybe let the people in the crowds that get shot up stone the shooter/s. Good old fashioned biblical stoning? Put it on TV. Then the next school that gets shot up we'll do a wake/pep rally/stoning and let the kids do it. Make a tiktok video of the kids going nuts taking revenge and maybe the next kid thinking about shooting up a school will think twice?

Maybe.  I know Trump was praising China's speedy trials and executions and his crowd was cheering and in awe of how awesome having a "tough-on-crime" government like that would be.  Maybe he's more your speed than you think.  Trump could be a double bonus for you, because I'd argue that the most likely way this country faces an overturning or alteration of the 2A is for us to willingly discard democracy first and hand power over to someone who, among other unconstitutional things, has expressed an interest in taking guns first and worrying about the legality later.

I can get why people feel this way, we're desperate and depressed with how not depressing people getting shot is.  If you leave your house to have fun at a parade and get shot, well, you knew what you were getting into.  Life is cheap, maybe it always has been.  This feeling of unfair status quo BS is why people feel compelled to hand over their country to "strongman" leaders who will promise to keep you safe by going after bad people with an merciless fury.  Short-term, feels pretty good.  I can see why people like the idea of it.

I wouldn't rule out public executions becoming a thing in this country during my lifetime.  Lord knows I didn't expect my response to a shooting at a SB parade to be "Well, of course that happened."


Oh and side note, if mass shooters are publicly executed people are going to stop watching because it happens all the time.  We'll be numb to yet another daily shooting and yet another daily execution.  I doubt a society that is so numb to death of various types is ready to ascend into a golden age.
