The last few years have changed my mind on capital punishment. If the rich and corrupt rig the system to completely avoid all punishment for their crimes against millions, the guillotine is justice.

Self-defence. They’ve harmed us all once, they will strive to do it again, and they cannot be rehabilitated. They could never be trusted to rejoin society, or even to socialize among themselves.

Eh, ghislane maxwell has been in custody for years at this point, but is probably going to skate because she is owed favors for her silence from people in power.

Fully divesting them from their ability to avoid justice via power and money.
If you’re in a position to livestream a mass execution, they have no more power.
