All debates that use sensationalism instead of reasoning are hooligans

It is said that there is such a group of people who oppose the death penalty and want to abolish it. There is a university professor in this group named David Gore, who is called Lao Ge. Lao Ge's career is not going well, and his wife runs away again, which is very sad. Lao Ge has an assistant named Constance, who is called Xiaokang. Xiaokang has leukemia. He has a few days to live, but he is still very dedicated to his work. Lao Ge and Xiaokang also have an accomplice whose name is too long to remember, so let's call him Lao Wang.

Lao Ge, Xiaokang, and Lao Wangba are all literate people, and literati people have to pay attention to what they do, and it is not convincing to oppose it dryly. What should I do? They thought and thought, hey, there it is! If the death penalty system unjustly kills good people, doesn’t that prove that the death penalty is not good and that the death penalty is very bad, so should the death penalty be abolished? Just do it, do it. Find an example of the death penalty system, unjust killings, and good people.

Knowing is easier said than done, but it's really not easy to find. I searched and searched but couldn't find it, what should I do? Why don't we make one by ourselves. It happened that Xiaokang was about to die of illness, and he would die in a few days, so it was not a pity to die. Once everyone discussed it, they agreed. So Lao Wangba killed Xiaokang, and then poured Lao Ge's semen into Xiaokang's indescribable part, framing Lao Ge for raping and killing his assistant. Lao Ge was put in jail, pleaded guilty, and was finally sentenced to death.

Lao Ge decided to die as a martyr. But he couldn't die in vain, so he found a reporter named Bessie, known as Xiaobei, and asked Xiaobei to write the whole thing. He couldn't let Xiaobei know too early - so that everyone knew it was a wrongful case and he wouldn't die and couldn't be a martyr, and he couldn't let Xiaobei know too late - so that his son would despise him. Literati is hypocritical, is to push things, ancient and modern China and foreign countries have always been the case.

In the end, Lao Ge was calculating, and Xiao Bei lived up to his trust. Lao Ge was executed by lethal injection. Xiao Bei found out the truth while Lao Ge turned his head. The death penalty system, unjust killings, good people, all together! You see how bad the death penalty system is, can it be done without abolishing it?

But something's not right, Xiaokang, aren't you about to die? Are you dying for martyrdom or because time is running out? Since you are determined to make a revolution, you should be pure. Sending a dying person to death will inevitably lead to the suspicion of private goods. If a person who is healthy, free from disaster and disease, and who would have lived a long life is sent to death, it will show the true nature of the revolution, right? Even if this point is ignored, You conspired with someone to commit suicide. Are suicides considered "good people"? Forging "suicide" as "homicide" to frame others, deceive the law, and deceive the judge, is it considered a "good person" behavior?

Say Goo again. You said you were "unjustly murdered". Is assisting another person commit suicide? Is perjury considered "wrong"? Of course, your perjury is different from others. Others perjury is to "guilty", you perjury is to "incriminate", others' perjury is to deceive others to save yourself, and your perjury is to deceive yourself. A French proverb says: A poisonous tree will never bear sweet fruit. How can bad causes produce good results?

And the king. According to the movie, Lao Wangba killed Xiaokang with the consent of Xiaokang. From a legal point of view, Lao Wangba has the intention to kill Xiaokang subjectively, and objectively has the behavior of killing Xiaokang. It should be noted that today's legal theory and practice all over the world do not recognize "assisted suicide". Even the doctor Lao Kai, who actively supports euthanasia in "Death Doctor", also asks the patient to press the death button by himself - he dares to do it. It is intentional killing, even if others beg him. And ah, Lao Wang, where were you when Lao Ge gave false testimony to seek death?

It can be seen that there is neither "unjust killing" nor "good people" in the death penalty system. Lao Ge and Xiaokang are begging for nothing, only the murderer Lao Wang is self-sufficient and happy outside.

The most tragic thing is that the entire proof logic of Lao Ge's group is unreliable. The law is the cornerstone of social order, and the purpose of punishment is to prevent and punish crimes. What kind of crime should receive what degree of punishment, this is the crystallization of more than 2,000 years of legal practice experience. Just imagine that one day, the punishment for vicious crimes is light enough for you and me. Would you want to kill a few people? Will a few people want to kill you? Doesn't everyone want to kill everyone? Everyone is in danger, and the whole society collapses. Therefore, the matter of Lao Ge and the others is fundamentally wrong. Only "the death penalty cannot achieve the purpose of preventing and punishing crimes", it is "necessary to abolish the death penalty". Lao Ge and Xiaokang have at most proved that there may be loopholes in the judicial system. There is no logical link between a loophole in the judicial system and the abolition of the death penalty.

The director is also very hateful, too sensational and completely ignoring reasoning. As if the logic of abolishing death was self-evident. Replacing reasoning with sensationalism is not the correct way to discuss issues.

Or the director was not prepared to discuss the issue at the beginning, he just wanted to fool the lame.

    The films made by the dead people do not like to use extreme methods to make political demands. Whether it should be sentenced to death or not should be decided by the soul of the victim who was tortured to death, not by a so-called compassionate outsider. If life imprisonment can be truly indefinite (no commutation, no parole, no bail), I am in favor of abolishing death. But some time ago, the Yunnan serial killer was a prisoner with a murder record who was released from prison and then resumed killing. Compassionate murderer is cruel to the victim
