With about 170 people on death raw, has recently abolished capital punishment. It's not always WHERE you are, but it's the (or regress) you're making.

בזמן שכ-170 אנשים ממתינים להוצאה להורג, ביטלה את עונש המוות במדינה. מה שחשוב זה לא תמיד היכן נמצאים, אלא כיוון ההתקדמות (או התדרדרות).

🇦🇺 16 year old girl said she does not want/need the shots, so the hospital said we’re not giving you the lungs you need to breathe. This is not health care, this is a capital punishment for not complying with medical tyranny.

in 1938: A jury finds Charles and Salvatore guilty of the first-degree of Officer John Wilson. The jury makes no recommendation for mercy, ensuring the two men will be sentenced to die.
During the trial, Gati admitted his involvement in the robbery that resulted in the killing of Wilson but insisted Sberna was not present.

"Owen, 62, endured years of abuse as a child, a brain injury, and mental illness, according to a 1999 court issued sentencing order. He has also been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Until his parents’ deaths—his mother passed when Owen was 11, his father committed suicide when he was 13—he grew up in a home filled with sexual abuse. Owen then entered an orphanage where where sexual abuse was also rampant and he began using drugs and alcohol. The 1999 sentencing order notes that Owen had suffered 'one of the more horrific childhoods' the court had seen. In 1981, a jacked-up car fell on his head, causing brain damage. In 1984, he assaulted and killed two women. He has repeatedly told psychiatric experts examining his mental state that he thought the assaults would help him into a woman."
