Louisiana has only executed 3 people since 2000

What drastic times? The 70s when crime was twice as bad as now?
Well, we are getting there.

It's the certainty of punishment, not the severity, that deters crime. I don't need to see it, just know it was administered as prescribed by law.

True. And for life sentences, make the immediate family foot the bill, instead of the American taxpayer.

I don’t see how any reasonable person who has ever been summoned to jury duty can hold this opinion.

If they murderer can make it out of the maze before the dogs find him, pardon.
Would make for great betting pools.
Didn't they make a movie along those lines?

Our justice system does not operate on "guilty of something" thank the Christ. Operating on "guilty of something" allows criminals to rely on others being punished for their misdeeds.
Here is an equivalent idea to "guilty of something". Why don't we simply have a lottery system and if your number comes up the state executes you? After all, you have been a human being all your life, human beings commit crimes, you have to be guilty of something.

This. I did a research paper in college on the death penalty being used as a deterrent. I went in thinking I’d easily find evidence that it was. It was actually the opposite. It has a statistically zero effect on violent crime rates.
I fully support the death penalty, but it has zero deterrent. Murderers and rapists have no impulse control.
Further, the erosion of society is due to soft on crime policies that have enabled the proliferation of petty and property crimes. Harsher punishment for these crimes is necessary. I fully support life sentences for career (petty) criminals that just aren't able to follow the rule of law.

Anyone who thinks tossing MORE Americans in jail and executing more Americans will do anything to reduce crimes is delusional. Again, we already have more people incarcerated than any but 6 nations on the planet. The nations which execute the most prisoners every year never varies year to year. Saudi Arabia has been in the top 5 nations prone to executing its citizens for about 80 years, as long as such stats have been kept. In 80 years there has been a similar number of capital crimes committed. Execution is not a deterrent.

OP didn’t reference a recidivist requirement for the violent, public executions.

No, sport, I didn't miss it, it is part and parcel of the misunderstanding of what the CJ is supposed to be about. We do not toss people in jail and execute people in this nation for being "guilty of something" no matter how mant times they have been arrested...we imprison people for specific crimes, not on the basis that there are indications they are "guilty of something". Doing what is being suggested is a good way for innocent people to wind up in jail, sport. I get it, ya'll are terrified of crime and willing to swap security for freedom....
