1. It is incoherent to be in favor of the death penalty and to be opposed, in principle, to public executions. In fact, many of the purported ends of the death penalty are integrally achieved only when it is public.
2. The death penalty cannot be justly practiced out of a spirit of vindictiveness, bloodlust, or anger. Therefore, any factor that encourages these should be discouraged.
3. There is a difference between publicity as such and a certain manner of publicity (livestreaming). While it isn’t problematic to make an execution open to the public and permit the media to attend, livestreaming (which has an association with entertainment) seems to encourage the aforementioned vices.
4. As a confirmation of this, at times, public executions were carried out with great solemnity, along with assurances for the spiritual good of the executed.
Mike Ditka has died. He was undeniably one of the most consequential figures in Chicago sports history. Condolences to his loved ones. I know I join millions of Bears fans in mourning his passing, grateful for the many great moments he gave us. May God hold him in the hollow of His hand.
@NickJFreitas@LilaGraceRose We don’t deny God permitted the death penalty. But permission isn’t a permanent command. Under the New Covenant, we must consider Christ’s mercy, human dignity, and whether society can be protected without taking a life.
@minagelina1@Charles07788205@NJBeisner But the whole IDF that’s responsible for the security of a country that’s surrounded by people that want them dead took the night off. That makes absolutely no sense.
@Rach4Patriarchy The rest of the government in Ohio is red she won’t accomplish anything. But if Vivek is governor then all the jobs are going to foreigners.
@itsFaithMerrill You gained a following because you attached yourself to a political movement. You then counter signal that movement and they don’t like it. You need to look at yourself.
@Rach4Patriarchy@itsFaithMerrill She countersignaled the groypers after using them to gain a following and they’re trashing her. She views that as disrespectful when she just needs to look at her own behavior. Typical female attitude.
@Charles07788205@NJBeisner Just curious what was the reason for the delayed response to the attacks when it’s a 45 minute helicopter ride across the country?
