because you are looking at it from a punishment, and read that would I would all crimes to be capital punishment.
In reality I oppose capital punishment at all, as violence is only ethical in self defense.
This foundation is how I approach the law as well, as I believe a person does have the right to defend with lethal force someone from taking their property including their TV, I do not however believe that violence is ethical as punishment. There is a big difference between the 2
This is comes in to play as well when we talk about crimes and police responses, if you are not willing to have the police use Lethal Force to enforce a law, you likely should not be supporting that law.
I do support the police is using lethal force to stop Theft, and other property crimes. I do not support the police using lethal force to prevent a person from voluntarily consuming a substance of their own desire, or from growing a plant the government as deemed illegal.
Take for example the case of Eric Garner, he was accused of selling Cigarette's with out the proper taxes or regulations. I am sure many here support those regulations and taxes just simply believe he should not have been killed by the police. Where as I understand that any criminal law will be enforced with violence, as such I understand that every law has the potential to result in deadly force. So I oppose the very regulations that put both the police and Eric on a path to where they had to conflict with each other at all resulting in the loss of life
