       #Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…

       @Nonilex Remember what happened to Robespierre at the end of the Reign of Terror portion of the French Revolution? He was all into capital punishment as well.

       @Nonilex It must have been in the 70s debates over the death penalty that someone looked at historical data to assess how effective the death penalty was as a deterrent. (I think New York State data,  back at least to the 30s.)Not only was there no evidence of a deterrent effect,  murder rates spiked in the aftermath of an execution.
