Well you certainly put me on the spot
If it was up to me I would be happy for the man to remain and die in jail
Due to the crazy justice system that allows people like this man back into a society that doesn't want them, a death sentence would solve the problem but create many other problems
I hope that someone somewhere looks very hard at what is happening and stops the release of this man
You have captured my view on things pretty much exactly there If it was up to me I would be happy for the man to remain and die in jail

I give you the generally decent people of Germany before 1939 & what they became in the subsequent few years.
You’re going to have to expand upon that because I am struggling to make the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wannsee_Conference
There's a good frightening book out there somewhere all about it, I think it's called the meeting but am not 100% on this
But this is getting far from the hangman's situation.

Here's an alternative big question: on a visit to Auschwitz it was pointed out that prisoners could avoid the whip (etc) by themselves becoming a trusty and wielding the whip. My friend & I wondered whether we'd have the principles to refuse or the pragmatism to realise it would happen anyway & we might as well not be the victim- the conclusion was uncomfortable.
That’s massively different though - that’s about self preservation Per the poster above the whole all pervading socio-political approach and how it drags people in is an awful long way removed from the issue of being an executioner in a balanced society with a robust and ostensibly non prejudicial justice system.

See the above comment about necessary evil.Per the poster above the whole all pervading socio-political approach and how it drags people in is an awful long way removed from the issue of being an executioner in a balanced society with a robust and ostensibly non prejudicial justice system.
If ever you're in the midlands I suggest a large number of beers & a long discussion of our different views.

Not that far- the hangman's ideology could be that it's a necessary evil.Even if one accepts the necessary evil line of thought one of these situations is driven by self preservation for fear of life threatening repercussion and the other is self selection.

Devil's advocate- who says that the line of thought is actually evil?- Although I used the expression I could have easily said 'for the greater good'.A line that is significantly thinner in some minds than others

Can you imagine how angry he’s getting being able to browse this topic but not reply?
He’s probably trying to figure out how to make a new email address to rejoin, as he’s likely used his NTL one he got in 1992.
There’s no way of telling if somebody has been banned is there ?Can you imagine how angry he’s getting being able to browse this topic but not reply?

I daren’t say his name as I’m nervous of the whole Candyman effect

For professional executioners I don't know whether they think it's a work-a-day job, [perhaps alien to us but as alien perhaps as being a funeral director would be] or whether there is some 'calling'. I'd prefer to think it's work-a-day with the attitude of 'someone has to do it' and 'they're pretty evil characters anyway', but have no idea.

Although I did read recently that they are having some fairly unpleasant problems with the injection itself.
I know where I would rather live
Better than the chair.I know where I would rather live
30 States still have the death penalty.
Worldwide more than half of the countries still have it. (60% ish iirc).

Anybody wanting to do it should be prhibited from doing so. I feel the same about politicians.

I imagine we’d have heard from him as he was probably wearing out his F5 key furiously refreshing his webpage so he could bless us with some further moronic posting.
