It seems that murders are committed in scenarios where consideration of the consequences is not even on the radar, instead it's some sudden rage or psychopathy, and I could believe either to be stoked by witnessing execution desensitizing then to violent death.
That doesn't actually happen or stop people from being murderers.
What problems would it solve?
Violent authoritarians fantasise about murdering the other. Sick bastards.

What to do on Saturday night when you don't feel like going to a bar.

Give people a tangible sense of what will happen to them if they murder others.
Public executions used to be common and yet people still murdered. It clearly isn’t a deterrent and worse case you execute an innocent person.
No
