Im anti death penalty almost exclusively because its cheaper for tax payers to keep a prisoner for life than it is to kill them. I also dont trust the state to dish out punishments with our fucked legal system.
I do believe, for example, the super hero “i never kill” trope is incredibly misguided and pretty much objectively stupid, especially in the case of Batman, but thats my rampant (formally diagnosed) autism
That last bit frustrates me to no end in various media. It’s part of why I hate Marvel films. You have these people already dishing out vigilante justice but killing the mass murderer/genocidal maniac is “lowering oneself to their level?” I’m sorry but at that point it’s your duty, lest you’re complicit in their next genocide.
So you’re pro death penalty then?

I concur.

Ugh.
Batman is brutal, and IRL most of his victims would end up with varying amounts of brain damage.
Many of them would die, really, some in the spot even. A single punch in the face is enough to kill.
