Not directly. Assuming that you could have helped in any way then that includes running or calling help. Now because they could live or die even if willing help came you didn’t kill them but the intent could considered be malicious. So you put their life at risk with malicious intent. Not murder but jail time for sure

The motivation behind public execution is a callback to previous times where people saw the brutal, justified (sometimes) execution of their enemies themselves. The punishment is more “real”. There would be a trial still. If someone did it for attention that can be determined

The point is the people who have committed said atrocious crimes are not, in fact better than that. Should someone commit a crime like that, say rape for example, the punishment would serve as no deterrent. It would a punishment based upon the individual as a form of revenge, to gratify society of the crime they have committed. And frankly, we as a society are barely better than anything, as our nature clearly shows

This is right. The point of an economic system is to sevre whoever controls it

Good thought. I would say that this would have an emotional effect in the sentencing but legally no, only one person died

Regardless of ones beliefs or who the child is, say “yes” and that they are going to it. A child should not die in fear and they are gullible so they will believe you. That’s all you can really say. A user did bring up that you could ask what they thought which I reckon is a acceptable alternative too

Good thought! I like how you play to what the child thinks to make them feel better and not give them a yes or no

Disconnected and spiteful argument rather than an intelligent one. Make more sense and don’t depend on petty personal attacks.

Most poor people are too old or sick to work. They have no point at which to start of getting a job or being able to reliably save money. Hundreds if not thousands of dollars are needed to just get a job at mcdonalds. Seems crazy? You have good clothes, a home, a car and no other worries that matter here besides getting that job. They don’t. Most places try to hire young people too, most homeless are older. Negative views towards homeless also serve to hinder employment as well as transportation. Getting back to the discussion, when homeless are able to save any real money (which is rare) they usually have lost hope and use it on the pleasures of life. Who can blame them?
