  • “I hope he’s going to be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty”

    -Trump

    How pathetic a world we live in where the POTUS wants the state to kill people and is proudly quoted about it more than once in his lifetime. I get that sometimes we want people to die. Trump’s death will be gleefully celebrated worldwide, and I will join.

    But there’s just something so insidious about people in power wanting the government to kill people THAT HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PROVEN GUILTY OF ANYTHING. Trump campaigning for the death penalty for Central Park Five should’ve been enough to disqualify him from ever being seen as a decent person. And yet millions ignore or agree with his sentiments of executing first and asking questions later. I cannot even fathom that anyone can fully think through the death penalty and still support it. Not even for the proven-guilty. Because there’s almost always some possibility of error. How can anyone support laws that could ever possibly lead to the state murdering an innocent person? Like, ever, one time? What a sick world.
