'Oh, I see you have apologised. I still want more of your blood!!!' - Really?

Revenge mentality.

Same thing that drives the idiotic social desire for the reintroduction of capital punishment.

People who are dead are not also out in society committing more murders or rapes, though. Nor are they steadily draining the bank accounts of all the good people who don't murder or rape.

Capital Punishment is a tricky debate even today. If people are calling for that when someone does something that isn't linked to a major mass crime, then we will all have a serious problem. Actually, people would be sentenced to death in other countries if they were the victim. Damn sad.

Aside from being incompatible with the branch of ethics I believe in (also, the ethical teachings that modern western civilizations keep claiming they're based on), the death penalty is retributive justice. If retribution actually works (often, it doesn't), then it actually doesn't matter to society who gets punished as long as it's someone.

OT- In dealing with people an apology is two parts. "I'm sorry," and at least attempting to make things right. McCarthyism, institutional racism, a lot of other things have the "sorry" part at the most. Is a major US party still using racism as a national election strategy (Southern Strategy, Republicans)?

Okay, so then that apology is still pending.

US corporations settle their obvious super-villainy while admitting no wrong? Apology still pending.
Racist landlord really sorry for decades of discrimination and says he should keep his NBA team because he was 'set up'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Politicians are a dime a dozen (I think that's how the saying goes) They have no idea how the real world works so what they try to do is to manipulate any situation using dirty games and when they get caught, their apology is empty. As noted before, when it comes to politics, they promise too much and lie too often.

Now, that NBA team owner guy. His apology was so messed up that he didn't just "apologise", he blamed other people for it which is NOT HOW AN APOLOGY WORKS.

"You see I am sorry if I [insert problem here] but it was [insert group or name here] that provoked me and they are worse than me those bunch of scum."

Maybe apology is hard for some people.

If you are truly sorry, you admit the wrongs YOU did and not point out others. Seems like Donald Sterling forgot that.

I'd just like to point out that an execution costs more than life in prison
Due process is completely necessary, and mistakes are made. Mistakes that kill innocent people
The death penalty has dubious at best effect on crime

Neither are people in prison.

Nope, but the years-long process that gets them dead is.

Try again!

In deeply religious countries, the person that was raped, would be sentenced to death. The one who did do it would either be sentenced to death too or just go prison. Either way, it's for some reason the victims fault.
