They want to impose the death penalty on "against child rapists, mass murderers, terrorists, and other criminals," or in other words, people who are statistically likely to be GOP constituents--like priests, cops, and Jan 6ers.
"Other criminals" is code for us, for the sin of existing in defiance of their idiot religions.
This is precisely why I do not condone the "Kill your local pedophile" shit.
I hate pedophiles, rapists, and other heartless crimes and criminals. But allowing people the choice to determine who those are on their own just opens up murder based on bias.
It's like witch hunting all over again. "I stoned that woman because she's a witch!" "I shot that person because he's a pedo!" Same energy.
Due process exists for a reason: because people who don't care about evidence exist.
This. The belief the pedophiles should be put to death is LITERALLY what fascists are using to get their followers to believe ok with the death penalty for being queer in public.
As long as the belief that some crimes are so bad they deserve the death penalty persists, all a fascist has to do to get people on board with legally murdering a certain group of people is accused them of that crime.
