Reply to comment by just_an_ordinary_guy in Pennsylvania lawmaker to introduce legislation repealing death penalty by Waterwebgrasshopper

I get what you are saying. I see that you were downvoted. I am anti-death penalty but then when we have extreme cases of human depravity like Hitler I think perhaps the death penalty would be appropriate in those cases. But then again does it make them a martyr to their followers and foster more of their ideology?

World leaders would be too dangerous to keep alive. That exception makes sense.

I would argue that is different tbh that is because Hitler isn't part of society, he wants to be society.
