The problem is that you will 100% kill innocent people. And there is no way to reverse it later on...

The state always hurts innocent people regardless, so ultimately better to just kill them than to subject them to the horrors of prison and act like that's okay simply because they're alive.

Personally, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make and I unironically would feel safer from my own government knowing the worst that'll happen is a mere hanging compared to the enslavement, torture and rape, for decades, flung onto innocents in the name of being humane.

and if it was you who was being executed for something you didn't do?

I would be grateful it was only a noose and not decades of rape, torture, and enslavement. That's literally why I believe it. Specifically because I don't want to be falsely imprisoned, and if you actually empathized, you'd feel the same way.

These process go through lengthy trials

Which works great, look at Texas which is very careful to check exactly how brown you are before execution.

The systems are corrupted because the people who run the systems are people.

And still, there are a lot innocent people killed
