Apologies. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. Summary execution, I now realize, is never acceptable. If Hitler hadn’t killed himself, he would have deserved life in supermax, not the electric chair. Deliberately ending a life is simply inhumane.
I take by your sarcasm you don’t want a real conversation?
But yes, only not ironically. I don’t think a state should kill anyone for sake of retribution, no matter how grisly their behavior. In fact, I think retribution shouldn’t factor at all into how a state manages those who break law or engage in antisocial behavior.
Is that a conversation you want to have? Or is snark the only thing you know how to do?
ETA: It sounds like you may not know this: Summary execution is killing someone without due process. Generally, that’s a crime internationally, and regarded as a war crime.
I assume you would want Hitler to at least have a trial at Nuremberg, if he was captured, but feel free to correct me.

That’s funny. Just a couple replies ago you were actively advocating for murder. Is it only bad when the state does it?
