A poll from the Pew Research Center released in June suggested that 60% of US adults favoured the death penalty, though nearly 80% believed there was some risk that an innocent person could be put to death.
Logical deduction is as follows:
1. The majority favours DP.
2. The majority don't care about innocent being put to death, even though they know the risk.
No. 2 is evil because you are in favour of executing an innocent (it is is evil to punish an innocent). Therefore, the logical conclusion must be that the majority (no. 1) are evil.
Yet there's also those which endorse murdering the helpless too, like babies, the elderly, and the disabled. Usually the crowd that's opposed to executing murderers and rapists. I don't trust the courts to actually care about truth or justice, as their scales weigh mainly gold as for who can hire the best liars and pay all the known and unknown fees, plus the whole word-twisting ordeal of the "case-building" method they have rather than a valuation of probable truth or whatever would work best to actually find the truth of the matter. It is better to protect the innocent than punish the guilty though. It is amusing though whenever people that likely support infanticide would dare use the term "evil" for looking down on another. Like, you can call evil "good" and good "evil" all day long, and it will ultimately mean nothing but a twisting contrivance of words.
