So what if we are? Do we not want to be untrendy? The American people don’t look to Europe for our laws.
The Japanese people don’t look to Korea for their laws.
The #1 and #2 economies are capable of self governance.
Yes, because all other first world countries realised it was a digstusting punishment.
It is also like giving people almost no punishment, because instead of serving anytime theyre just swiched off.
The only problem with the death penalty in America is that it is not carried out in a timely manner. Look at California, people there on death row for decades.
Ironically, most less sophisticated countries have a death penalty. There is a much lower crime rate. In those countries, the people, despite dire situations respect and fear the law. In the US, while laws are on the books, they’re so arbitrary that they have little meaning. (one rapist gets 30 years, another gets community service for identical crimes)
Also Singapore has the death penalty.
It’s estimated that China executes 10,000 people per year, and for crimes like theft and even white collar crimes. There’s actually a major debate out there because organs are harvested from the deceased literally at the execution and shipped all over the world. In Chinese culture, they don’t believe in organ donation; they believe in “moving on” in-tact, but the prisoners who are executed are not only harvested, but they’re harvested without the prisoners consent.
Now…is China an industrialized democracy is the next question.
Yes, they are the only ones. South Korea is abolitionist in practice- no executions in at least 10 years.
