That all said the simple answer to all of that is we aren't granting mercy to killers by refusing to execute them. People who would be executed would simply spend the rest of their lives in prison at less cost, without us morally sinking to their level by executing them.

But what if the criminal escapes and kills someone? Then our justice system would be morally culpable for allowing an innocent person to die.

We must cut short the appeals process and remove as many safeguards as possible from capital cases to avert such a frightful calamity.

The point of executing a murderer is to be sure he'll never even have the opportunity to do it again, which is of course justice.

Now some silly liberals will tell you that cutting the hands off of a thief is unjust and barbaric or whatever crybaby poo poo, but he ain't exactly gonna be stealing no more if he don't got no hands! Justice! :911:

Note: Rugged individualism may not be right for everyone. Rugged individualism is not recommended for those who don't own enough human beings to do all the hard work for them or can't depend on a huge military to murder any natives in the way of the good land. Always take rugged individualism with food and with an overbearing police state that turns minorities guilty of nonviolent crimes into a source of cheap prison labor. Consult your doctor.
