>where some people are beyond rehabilitation.
Funny to say someone else is being willfully ignorant after repeatedly ignoring what the conversation is actually about. I'm not arguing with you about the validity of the death penalty right now. I'm arguing about PUBLIC executions.
You are wrong. And you're a bad person.
>have any articles or studies discussing the negative societal ramifications of public executions?
LoL are you fucking joking? Yes there really really are.
