| Yes, collateral damage. Most government policies are trade offs between objectives, it's just that most people (including you it seems) aren't prepared to admit this. I accept this as a reality of taking action. If you wish to object to the death penalty because of the risk of executing innocent people then that's fine but you must accept the consequence of such as policy is that other innocent people (whom we cannot identify) are likely to die because their assailants were not deterred by the threat of being hanged. I don't doubt it's a grim business but you have no easy moral high ground to stand on here. |
