Let’s bring back public hangings.

The visibility of just 10 or 20 a year would have massive positive effects on crime rates, public safety and local criminal-justice attitudes.

Hanging? I’m more for drawing and quartering.

I have been saying this for years. In today’s world, a crime of violence gets a homeless thug 3 hots and a cot for life.

It’s coming down to vigilante justice here folks. Our judicial system has failed.

No, why was no one, NOONE, on that train armed?

For same reason the dead of the Oct7 atrocity in Israel died with no guns — so that gov’mt can bully citizens.

On the train one guy with a pistol would have ended this.

According to FBI stats (before BeijingBiden deliberately corrupted them) over 300,000 times per year a good guy with a gun stops violence.

One class of murderers would not be fazed. They cannot think of the future, only what it occurs to them to d right now. Tomorrow is a myth. All those horrible consequences, electric chair, hanging, hell, even hang-draw-and-quarter, even done after a quick trial and execution within 48 hours. Nothing beyond that RIGHT NOW means anything to them. In a system that is just as likely to release them if they promise not to do bad things anymore, of course, the incentive to murder and steal spreads to those who can envision consequences if there is no likelihood of having to actually face them.
