    I feel like the problem is that we make emotional decisions, what might seem fair to us might not seem fair to the victims family and vice versa, I feel like I will let the authorities be the one to decide and respect it, I don’t think you normalize violence by a public execution though, instead you instill a feeling of fear in the public about what would happen if you do such a serious crime

    Taliban does a lot wrong, but I can get behind the logic on this kind of thing if I am honest, I feel instead maybe the victims family should be given a choice? Idk

      Do you think the members of the general public are often considering committing those kinds of crimes?

      “Gee whiz, I sure wish I could be a serial killer. Too bad they publicly executed that last serial killer, though! I’d better move to the US, where executions are done in private!”

        I feel you don’t understand what I am trying to say, but what I am trying is that just one example will probably drop the rate faster than bitcoins value, see places like saudi arabia where crimes are law just because of these laws existing, even if they are not enforced

        And no people won’t get violent, that’s like saying people will get violent by seeing a school shooting, it’s not like a person will get hanged everyday, atmost it might be something like every 5 years, especially if they make it somewhat negotiable with the victims family
