I see all the memes about guillotines for the rich, funny in spirit, but actually building one in the town square is not practical. They take a ton of materials, they are huge, and they do not even work reliably. Would it not make more sense to build one from metal with hydraulic pistons or something? I am not a machinist, but a more mobile unit you could wheel into a square to decapitate a few effigies seems about as effective for sending a message, and easier to remove or relocate if needed.

    Other options are available besides death. Like, lock the 34x felon up in prison, like they should have already done…

        Interesting.

        I say they should have locked him up, I get downvoted.

        You agree, he should have been locked up, you get upvoted.

        I don’t give a fuck about the actual vote count, that doesn’t matter. But the differential of votes for two people that expressed the same opinion, the fucker should have been locked up, well that dumbfounds me.

          Did you miss the part where I’m pointing out the fact that it won’t happen? I’m not agreeing with you, I’m making a point.
