But important detail:

Where I live, the death penalty in the Philippines is abolished for almost three decades, yet some people I met -- especially middle- and lower-class people -- insist on having it and corporal punishment reinstated, believing society would be supposedly much safer like Saudi Arabia (which does carry out forced amputation and beheading, but still is not really an effective deterrent), but ignoring completely that their everyday problems such as petty thievery are ultimately caused by class struggle and unequal distribution of wealth and resources.

That although there were no execution of prisoners during the Duterte regime, nonetheless thousands have been executed for minor drug-related offenses with not even seeing a courtroom, by either hired gunmen or by law-enforcement officials in disguise.

Firing squad, but it should be staffed by a random section of pro capital punishment voters.

“You want people to die for their crimes? Cool, you do it then"

I’m vehemently against death penalties, but if we wanted to make it “humane”, which is a gross misuse of the word, we’d just use nitrogen. There’s genuinely no reason for anything else besides intentional suffering and money

Firing squads ain't exactly instant, either.

"You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, weren't you?"

And then being told, "That's doesn't count. We get a do-over. You still have to go back to jail."

She's definitely killed orders of magnitude fewer people than Mitch has.

I mean, at least part of the problem is that nobody want to provide drugs to kill people. Most of the country moved way past executions a good long while ago.

They've got a shit govorner that must have gotten bored waging war on the state's only African American majority city and decided to kill a woman to make himself feel better.

it's the doctors' duty to keep her alive. They took the Hippocratic oath. It's the state that is trying to kill her, not the doctors

We, as a society, are trying to kill her, not torture her. The constitution explicitly bans torture

It's a fine line between execution and torture

I mean if they can technically say "Hey she was probably dead for a second." Then she served her sentence, right?
