#HOPE 2023
EDIT: edited out the link to the trash article, sorry for anyone who felt offended, I thought it was obvious from the post text that the intent was to turn around the ridicule point of view of this pathetically right winged “subscription-biased” media outlet, and simply use their mad headline instead as if it was a piece of the past Obama campaign around the HOPE hahstag. I initially left the link for objectivity and context purposes.
Even if someone refuses to change, the permission of murder in the vague view of justice is wrong. Killing a serial killer doesn’t bring their victims back, killing a rapist doesn’t undo the rape they committed.
In America, our thing is “We’d rather have 8 guilty men walk free than 1 innocent jailed” (supposedly), yet there’s been more than zero people who did not commit any crimes, yet were killed. You can’t undo murder. At least if someone is given life in prison, you can set them free.
Let’s not forget that we’re more prone to give the death penalty to BIPOC inmates, not white.
And it costs more to kill someone, than to house and feed them.
