Some people have a warped view of punishment and will always demand more punishment. Especially for lighter offenses, they think people should go to prison for decades, it’s insane. They’d have people quartered again if they could have their way
I’ve seen plenty of folks argue for the death penalty for rapists. Blows my mind a bit, speaking as a survivor. I’m also against the death penalty in general, though, and that’s unfortunately not the most popular opinion. Gallup puts it at 49% in support for people convicted of murder as of this year, and Pew Research has it at a whopping 66%.
