I'm against the death penalty because all life is precious and I believe the state should not have the right to kill someone and deprive them off their life. So I don't like her, or other people in this board, constant talk about execution or the kind of torture or pain they are lusting to inflict on the deep state actors. The lust for pain and violence and revenge is gross.
You very much have the right to believe that all life is precious. You have the right to support the rights of violent psychopaths and sociopaths. You have the right to express these beliefs. The problem with your stance is that you expect that law enforcement has to hunt down and arrest these people using violence. Taking a violent criminal into custody is dangerous and often times violent. You can have peace and security because others are willing to do violence to protect you. If you cannot see that your beliefs are black and white, then you are fortunate enough to have lived a very privileged life. You cannot locate and separate them from society without violence. You cannot live peacefully in a society where these criminals are allowed to roam free. What do you suggest we do? Imprison them? We have lots and lots of prisons with more prisoners than any other country. It is ugly, brutal and inhumane for most of these prisoners. Is this a better option? I'm not so certain. Vast resources are spent on our prison system. The majority of these funds could be used for more humane purposes to try and prevent the creation of dysfunctional members of society. I'm just curious if you have a solution to anti-social violent behavior?
Death is a good deterrent, and it definitely keeps the criminal from committing more crimes!
Here’s my thought exercise, which if taken to the extreme would result in abortion doctors being executed and no one with morals paying taxes:
There is a guy pointing a loaded gun at an innocent kid. The guy is a known killer and you have no doubt he is about to kill the kid. You are the only other person there and you have a loaded gun too, and the killer doesn’t know you’re standing behind him. The police are on your side and guaranteed you won’t be prosecuted. Do you shoot the bad guy?
Make no mistake, I wouldn't even have to think about it. Even if I was going to be prosecuted, I would do it. Going to prison because i killed a murderer that was going to kill a helpless innocent would be unfortunate for me, but completely acceptable. The laws do not impact my morality.
Only someone who ought to be executed for such crimes is offended by what Wendy said.

War is gross and never pretty...
You need to grow a pair or move on since Crimes Against Humanity seems to offend you too Bud.
Sorry but I think when you commit some of the crimes that certain people are guilty of, you forfeit any claim to your life being precious.
By default, life is precious sure, but the things they continue to do revokes that for themselves.
God said kill the murderer.
Are you against God?
