Huh? I do not even know what you just said.


The vast majority of murders in the US are young black men murdering other young black men - a phenomenon that exists in no European country, which makes comparisons between the US and European countries spurious at best and intentionally dishonest at worst

There is no better defense against a murderer than obliterating their ability to do harm. The DP is the only response that would achieve that goal.

Same could be said for any crime. Heck, we could end all crime by executing all people right now. Should we do it?

Nope. Neither does killing a man to prevent a future crime he may or may not commit.

that's not the primary reason you kill him - you execute him through a judicial process to serve justice

preventing a known murderer from having the opportunity to murder again is just a bonus :banana:

Ah, I see that was Rusha's argument for it - not yours.

As for the justice argument, are you saying the death penalty is the only just punishment for a murderer? And why so? Why wouldn't life imprisonment be a just punishment?
