You're advocating for death penalty.
In countries that abolished it, if someone was executed it would be considered murder. So yes, you are advocating for murder.
What do victims have to do with this? I'm not proposing we kill them.
Surviving victims should of course be offered treatment, both physical and mental, as well as fair compensation. It is irrelevant to the question of the death penalty.
I'm not advocating for the death penalty, stop lying.
Are you some new type of troll or what? Or can't you fathom people having a thought experiment without actually thinking it is the right thing to do?
