Bloviating, pure bloviating. While there is evidence of wrongful convictions, there are clearly evidence of spot on convictions and evidence of wrongful acquittals—I give you OJ.

Anthony Fauci should be killed, clearly responsible for millions of deaths, both COVID and AIDS, clearly unrepentant, clearly premeditated (blocked the use of cheap, safe, and effective drugs against COVID for nefarious purposes—personal gain; promoted the use of dangerous & ineffective vaccines). I would add many of his associates, the : heads of Pfizer and Moderna….

The guy who shot the insurance company guy, no question who he is…

Pedophiles: they are not rehabilitatable by all evidence— death or life in prison

The ISIS-affiliated vehicular murderer (Sayfullo Saipov) – who killed 8 victims and injured dozens more in a 2017 attack on a New York City bike path – escaped the death penalty in his sentencing hearing yesterday and so will spend the rest of his life in a federal supermax prison.

Why? Why don’t we just take him out behind the Federal courthouse and put a bullet in his hateful skull? He didn’t give his victims a chance to run. Why should he be allowed to live? A 9mm shell costs at most a buck. It will cost us millions to keep him alive for the next 80 years. Just let him die.

. There is an ideal that too often gets lost in our debates about punitive versus rehabilitory criminal sentences: the perfect goal of criminal reform should be the criminal voluntarily facing what they’ve done, coming to realize and regret its effects, and sincerely trying to atone for their sins with the remainder of their life.

But what if they don’t repent? What if they double down and say they’ll do it again? Should they be allowed to go back to polite society?

What about the rapist that gets out and does it again?
