      Murder is acceptable if petty thefts are reduced? So the worth of a human life is roughly $200 - $2000, or the worth of a laptop?

      If the only way to stop petty thefts is murder, petty theft cannot be prevented ethically.

          Sending the message that money is more important than the lives of people, alright.

          I’m happy to live in a country where this kind of ““justice”” system is impossible to implement legally.

      The death penalty for drugs is a worthy sacrifice considering the extremely positive societal outcome.

      “It’s good that we kill someone for smoking a joint because no one stole my laptop!” You have fucked up priorities.

          And the only way you can have your laptop is by murdering someone for smoking a joint? Are you sure?

              Virtually every country on Earth except Singapore doesn’t execute people for such spurious reasons. Do you think Finland is a crime-ridden hellhole?
