    But…

    This is death penalty version of I’m not racist but

    Considering how Japan’s justices system is as bad as the US there definitely shouldn’t be a death penalty in ANY circumstances

        Which is part of my point.

        “Poor baby is getting hanged!”

        Dude, that poor baby burned people alive. Don’t give him any sympathy.

        I wouldn’t kill him because I believe killing someone is not right, not because it’s cruel.

      No, not really. Because if they asked me directly “hey, should we kill this motherfucker?” I’ll say no. Even if I had supreme, absolute power. I’m the kind of guy who will catch scorpions in my house and release them in the wild.

      I was just putting what the OP said into perspective: “how can ANYONE kill a poor person who burned alive innocent people in such a BARBARIC way that is by hanging?!”
