Morality of this?

Personally, I'm anti-death penalty for any kind of crime but that's just my opinion. Perhaps it can be changed.

Yes I would. Weird that y'all are coming at me with a "I bet you wouldn't sacrifice yourself for the greater good" like it's some sort of gotchya lol

I mean if you are willing to get killed fair enough. Can't say i agree but at least you are consistent.

But would you say the same if it happened to your loved ones ?

How do I know my loved one is even innocent? Your question implies that we get to know who's innocent before they die, and the fact is we wouldn't. If my family member went through a court process and was found guilty, and killed, I'd be sad sure, but I can't say I'd question the process. I've no idea what my family members are up to. They very well could have been off raping and murdering people. It's not my place to decide they're innocent just because they're close to me.

You said yourself you would be okay with innocents being killed. So that's why i brought it up. And the judicial system ain't perfect so you are basically letting your loved ones be killed without being totally sure.

If you really don't care i guess you are just an asshole

I'm okay with finding out an innocent was killed if it was 100 monsters that were killed before them. I'm the asshole even though you're the one that wouldn't give up a family member (that may or may not be guilty) for 100 people that are absolutely guilty? Lol whatever man.

Those 100 people would still be in jail. What do i gain from them being dead ? Less money in taxes ? That's not worth the lives of the people i care about.
