State-sanctioned murder
Should the death penalty be abolished? I used to think no, but I’m gradually changing my mind. It’s not that I think there aren’t crimes for which death is not an appropriate punishment. It’s that in my experience with large bureaucracies, the government in particular, I’ve come to realize how often mistakes are made. I don’t trust the government to correctly place guilt every time. I suspect the success rate is far less than any reasonable person would call acceptable. Innocent people are going to be murdered by the state. This may have happened recently in Texas.
