Why was the government under Mary executing heretics?

Thank God I live in the US, where I don’t have to worry about fanatics on either side trying to burn me at the stake.

1) It was the law.
2) Some were responsible for murders, or theft, and causing massive upheavel.
3) They did not pay attention to warnings to leave England and take their heretical views with them.

Not nowadays - until the Muslims take power (God help us!). Thankfully the days of Protestants persecution of Catholics ended long ago in the US. They no longer burn our convents or attack our churches as they once did.
