No they aren't. Here in this country (Poland) I enjoy all these things in most places and there is no death penalty. Many people argue our criminal penalties are far too lenient for violent crime, but there is still relatively little of it.

How safe or unsafe a place is has very little to do with the harshness of its laws and everything about the values of the people that leave there. Is there a general acceptance for law breaking? Is the law enforcement seen as corrupt? Are laws applied selectively? Are people seen as lawbreakers that "made it" seen as an example to aspire to? Is successfully "gaming the system" something one can use as a status symbol? Also, the level of poverty, how bad or good are the living conditions, access to (mental) healthcare. All these things are way more important that the harshness of penalties applied.

So your solution is to murder drug addicts and mentally unstable unhoused people? Years ago we took a different approach to solving these problems, and put them in state subsidized mental institutions. While not perfect, that seems like a more humane way of treating the situation than jumping straight to the death penalty.

That is totally worth killing people.

I have that now without the killings but whatever.

Not to mention leaving your laptop unattended is littering, and clean streets are also worth killing people. Or leaving your laptop unattended is being accomplice in cyber crime, and since they executed a guy for weed he never touched or was ever in posession of, guess you better never leave that laptoo on that table after all.

This entire argument is so gross and ugly it boggles any functioning mind.
