Obviously he's innocent, but I'm 100% against "human rights"; which is just an excuse to favour the guilty over the innocent or the vermin over the patriot
How human rights are applied are the issue, not the rights themselves.
E.g. someone say... Intentionally shoots and kills a child.
There should be no expectation of rehabilitation for a crime like that and so their human rights should be forfeit and they should be executed when evidence is sufficient for guilt.
Burden of evidence would have to go up alongside stricter penalties, but people would think twice about the crimes if they knew nothing awaits them but death.
Not impossible, but this is why the application of human rights is the issue.
This is unspeakably retarded with the massive history of falsely accused being killed only to be vindicated post-death, which is exactly why it IS so hard to execute people today.
What do you do when someone is executed for crimes they don't commit? "Oh, fuck, I'm sorry"? That's not good enough, that's not acceptable.
"We'll do better next time"?
That's raising the bar for evidence.
