Capital punishment is never the way from an ethical or practical standpoint. One of the biggest takeaways from this administration is that we should never consider granting power to the government when we wouldn’t want the opposition party to have that power. We’ve already given the executive far too much power going back decades through virtually every administration, GOP and Dem.
Counterpoint: we did it to the Nazis and Germany has now gone over 80 years without trying to concur the world.
Only a small number Nazis received the death penalty… and that doesn’t make it right.
No. This lack of accountability is what got us here in the first place. We would have been a hell of a lot better off if on January 6th, the capital had been defended with machine guns nests, and a few thousand violent right wing terrorists were killed on the spot. The Weimar government let Hitler and his goons go, when they could have prevented the Holocaust by hanging them all.
I'm not talking vigilante justice. I'm talking people being lawfully tried and executed for treason and crimes against humanity. These are the most serious crimes possible, and they absolutely warrant the death penalty. I'm sorry, but if you're abducting innocent people and sending them off to concentration camps, you deserve to be executed for your crimes.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
