Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I’ve always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

Which if even more disturbing.

So what do you think?

    You can never be 100% certain.

    Unless you want to drag the meaning of certainty into the absurdity of Last Thursdayism, I’d argue you can. Anders Breivik knew what he was doing, he wasn’t having “an episode”.

      Cases have been reviewed decades after the event and found to be defective.

      I only know what the media has shown me about Brevik - and I expect that you know no more.

      From what I have seen and read, it seems clear cut and indefensible of course, but then it so often does - until it doesn’t.
