    Killing Nazis and slavers is justice. The fact that Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis outlived Lincoln is a travesty.

      Or we could try to be more civilized.

      It’s easy for someone who isn’t a victim of a capital or war crime to say, that the death penalty should be ostracized.

      That makes my respect for Robert Badinter even greater:

      His father was captured in the 1943 Rue Sainte-Catherine Roundup and deported with other Jews to the Sobibor extermination camp, where he was murdered shortly thereafter.

      Robert Badinter (French pronunciation: [ʁɔbɛʁ badɛ̃tɛʁ]; 30 March 1928 – 9 February 2024) was a French lawyer, politician, and author who enacted the abolition of the death penalty in France in 1981.

      I know this is a polarising topic. So I don’t expect you to agree with me on this. The other way around… same. So let’s just look at it as exchange of point of views. You show me your heroes, I show you mine.
