That is totally morbid and voyeuristic. What if someone did that to get their 15 minutes of fame? What about if it offended those who are against the death penalty? Is it right to view as entertainment someone being killed? What about if it is viewed and then the person is found to be innocent?
What if there is evidence to suggest it does not have a preventative effect? What if it does? I mean, that raises so many questions, these are just a few, I am sure there are many more.
In the Middle East they do public executions on a Friday of course. I have heard that if Westerners attend, they push them to the front so they will be shocked and horrified. Now, as shocking and graphic what they do to human beings over there, there is obvious social injustice that exists there. Do we think that it does not exist in our society? We are hypocrites, all of what I saw first hand, exists in our society, it is just hidden, they are just open about their racism, misogyny, wealth inequality and exploitation of the poor, all of it. So, how better are we than them and what they are doing if we televise it. I have not seen a good argument for it, except that Maggot has given it the green light.
