8 in 10 Americans oppose live-streaming execution

I go back and forth on this. I'm generally opposed, but I also think that if we have a death penalty it shouldn't be so bloodless. It should be a beheading that the governor of the state has to do themselves. We shouldn't be able to pretend we aren't doing something incredibly violent

I wouldn't want to watch it. I think we should abolish the death penalty. Make people live the rest of their lives with their mistakes.

I support the death penalty for people I personally want to kill, which is why the death penalty is probably a bad idea.

The other two in ten are not scheduled for execution.

heh we're seriously considering live-streaming someone's execution but live-streaming a woman taking off her shirt to the public would be an outrage. I lean toward "America f*ck yeah!" but I know there's plenty of stupid here as well.

Who are the fucking ghouls that want to see someone executed live ? 20% of the population ? Jesus fucking tap-dancing christ almighty.

Who wouldn't be opposed. It is boring. Make it guillotine with a slide and bowling pins at the end. And take bets on Polymarket whether there will be split or no - then the numbers will be reversed.

We are moving anyway towards Escape from NY/LA world. Let's at least take the good parts from it.

Didn't Trump cancel the live streaming of the military execution?

I'd rather we got rid of the death penalty pretty much everywhere but the military, but I don't see how watching an execution really benefits anyone. Watching another human getting shot isn't going to benefit your soul or whatever you want to call it.
