    You know something, you need to rethink western criminal justice. Think about this, every time someone is locked up for a year, it’s costing you the tax payer 40k plus. In the states, you still do executions. There’s no moral superiority in that regard. Publicly punishing people does the following… Say a thief/robber etc has a hand chopped, how much does that cost? Not much. It also sends a clear message. That’s why you can drop your wallet in Dubai and no one will touch it. You have millions of people locked up in the states…there’s no morality in wasting so much in resources that could be better used to end homelessness, poverty etc on this. All you’re doing is enriching some corporations.

      “look at all the benefits you get from being in a fascist state that doesn’t have laws respecting rights to a fair trial and sufficient burden of proof!”
