Trump ally Charlie Kirk suggests children should watch public executions - eviltoast
"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised," Kirk recently said.

“Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?” Kirk asked.

Kirk, along with his co-hosts Jack Posobiec, Tyler Bowyer and Blake Neff, continued to discuss at what age should children watch the public executions, with one co-host pointing out as young as 12 years old.

    I mean, petty crime is almost non-existent in Saudi Arabia. Their system of punishment is horrible, but it seems to be effective in at least some manner. I wonder if regular and public reminders of the punishment for certain crimes would do more of a deterrent than just the threat of years of incarceration.

      No. Studies show that basically the only thing that impacts whether a person who would otherwise want to commit a crime might be dissuaded is the chance of being caught.
