    For context, I’m thinking more of a recent murder case that happened in the UK. Basically a sikh guy stabbed a British student, then called the police on him accusing him of racism. Police arrived and handcuffed the dying student as he bled out, dying on the ground in handcuffs. The Sikh’s family were complicit

    Obviously, a whole myriad of immigration tension has arisen again (happened with the southport stabbings also) and people are rioting.

    I think if we publicly executed people who carried out these atrocities, it would quench the general public’s bloodthirst and restore order, hopefully reducing hate crimes on the innocent immigrants.

          Public execution. They hanged a guy from a tree and took a nice group photo. They would then make nice postcards out of them and sent out to family. Really brings back the community together. Especially if the criminal is of a different race. The history showed us that there are no risk of discrimination or abuse here. Justice system should do what the mod desires. We could call it… mob justice.

              I’m not American but you said that executing a sikh guy for killing a British student (who was actually Polish) to stop riots would be a good idea. You specifically mentioned races of the involved and talked about immigration tensions. But yes, I started talking about race out of nowhere…

              Does this really not sound familiar to you?

                I’m not American

                Too much exposure to American media is making you act like one and constantly harp on about the USA

                was abducted and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman,

                That’s quite a step away from saying “we should execute murderers” to suddenly jumping to Emmett Till

                A whole witch-hunt also happened when James Bulger was murdered. It’s not always race related. Offending white people is not always a crime, and never a capital offence.
