    Executions are state violence.

    Why list "trials, judges, reviews, juries, appeals" all of this as if it's more than one thing that often times doesn't work. Most of the convictions in the US are plea deals, they literally put you in a jail and tell you to say what they want or they'll make things worse and the only way you can avoid this is to have money to make bail.

    If your boss steals from your wages you have to jump through hoops to try and get it back and they don't serve time. If you are accused of taking money from the company you are taken away by the state and put in jail till it can be proven you didn't. You can't expect me to trust that the system works in my favor when the system is clearly designed to not work in my favor.

    The death penalty is the sentence. Execution is the act.

    When someone is put to death by the state, the act itself is called an execution. They do it in a literal execution chamber.

    Calling for the death penalty and calling for an execution mean the exact same thing.

    execution: "The act or an instance of putting to death or being put to death as a lawful penalty."

    Whatever he actually said (I don't know) what is the meaningful difference between "death penalty" and "execute"?

    so let’s break it down

    execution is the killing part. it may be done by 3rd parties outside of the law (ie murder), or it could be the final part of a legal proceeding that leads to the death penalty

    the death penalty is the conviction at the end of a legal proceeding

    saying someone deserves the death penalty (ie jumping right to their conviction) skips the trial and sentencing etc of a normal legal proceeding. it’s not at all the same as saying someone should be tried for treason

    he said that joe biden should be killed by the state no matter how you spin it

    Again, if you can provide me with a quote and source where Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be “executed,” I will change my opinion on his assassination being justified.

    No you won't. You'll just argue semantics like your dead nazi hero.

    I think you mean "received a death penalty for his actions" instead of "assassination".
